Monette Manor runs 86 beds out of its location on Highway 139 North in Monette, Arkansas, and right now, 91.4% of those beds are filled. That’s a high occupancy rate, the kind that usually points to steady local demand. Getting there means driving, since it’s a rural highway address, and there’s no way around a car being part of the plan.
The facility handles two different kinds of care under one roof: short-term rehab for people recovering from a hospital stay, and long-term care for residents settling in for longer. Therapy services, recreational activities, and regular meals round out daily life. Staffing breaks down by role: registered nurses spend about 18 minutes per resident each day. LPNs add another 38 minutes. Nurse aides, who do the bulk of hands-on work, bathing, dressing, moving people safely, put in roughly three hours and ten minutes per resident.
On the regulatory side, state inspections here have tended to center on four areas: infection prevention and control, care planning and documentation, resident rights and protections, and fall and injury prevention.
What emerges is a mid-sized, highly occupied nursing home built around two tracks, short-term recovery and longer-term care, with nurse aide hours forming the backbone of daily hands-on support.
