CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Arkansas average is: 46.0% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Nursing home care means a residential setting for a person whose need for support does not stop. Skilled nursing is the licensed layer over that, staffed through the night. A family can do a great deal and still not be the one assessing a wound at midnight. Two resident profiles fit best here, and they’re opposites: one who is staying indefinitely, and another just staying a fortnight.

A respite stay is often about something temporary: a busy season, a deployment, a trip that can’t be moved or delayed any longer. The caregiving has to be taken care of somehow.

The building holds 112 beds, and nursing care totals 4 hours and 2 minutes per resident over the course of a day.

Rehabilitation services give therapy a place during recovery. Medicare, Medicaid, and the family’s own money can all pay the way here, depending on which one turns on what brought the person in and whether they qualify. Nicolai Murusiak administers the home for 3P Partners, LLC.

Overview of Evergreen Living Center at Stagecoach

Evergreen Living Center at Stagecoach is a nursing home in Bryant, Arkansas, offering skilled nursing, memory care, and respite care. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care provides supervision for residents living with dementia. Respite care is available for short stays, giving a family caregiver time to travel, recover, or manage other responsibilities.

The community has 116 beds and is operated by Salco NC, with Becky Baker serving as administrator.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted: Medicare can apply to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help when personal savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay allows a family to use personal funds.

Residents can spend time in an enclosed outdoor courtyard with a gazebo and concrete walking path, and salon services are available. Meals are prepared by a certified dietary manager and cooks, with food allergies and preferences accommodated. A Walk Score of 34 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride.

Overview of Katherines Place at Wedington

Katherines Place at Wedington, in Fayetteville, AR, spreads across memory care, skilled nursing, nursing home care, and respite care. Ongoing nursing services are what the nursing staff supports. Memory care means a secured setting with supervision. Respite comes as short stays in the plural, a repeatable arrangement for a caregiver who travels or recovers.

Supervised memory care, or a short respite booking, are the two reasons families arrive. The licensed total is 109 beds.

Nursing assigned to each resident daily is 4h 25m. Care and residence costs are met through Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay.

Short-term rehabilitation keeps rehabilitation services inside the community, so no transport is arranged for it. A courtyard is named too, and salon services handle grooming on site. Kayla Loker administers the home, with WCNC, Inc as operator.

Overview of St. Johns Place of Arkansas

A doctor on staff is not a given in a nursing home, and St. John’s Place of Arkansas carries one in Fordyce. The Enhanced Care Unit is a named program here too. Skilled nursing runs beside nursing home care, so daily help and licensed nursing come from one address.

Licensed nurses work every shift here, including the overnight. Insulin and pain medication run on schedules a day-shift arrangement cannot always cover. A new knee needs weeks of therapy, and those sessions happen down the hall here, instead of after a car ride across town twice a week.

Respite4 stays run short by design. A wedding out of state, or some other event booked before the family knew care would be needed then: the respite stay covers that stretch and then stops. This home holds 120 beds, and nursing time totals 4 hours and 11 minutes for each resident in a day.

Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay all work here. Medicare covers a set window after a qualifying hospital admission and then stops; Medicaid becomes the question once savings run out; private pay is the direct option. Someone admitted under Medicare who later moves onto Medicaid does not have to change their address to receive care.

Taylor Ashley is the administrator. The fit is a resident needing daily help, licensed nursing, short respite, o0r skilled care following a hospital stay.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Arkansas

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arkansas?

Assisted living in Arkansas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Arkansas Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Arkansas Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 214 nursing homes in Arkansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Arkansas?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arkansas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Arkansas?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
