Clay Ferguson owns, and TXKNC, Inc operates Bailey Creek Health and Rehab, a 115-bed nursing facility on East 42nd Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. The building has been open for 31 years and currently cares for 74 residents, which puts its occupancy level at 64 percent. People stay here for an average of 158 days, a timeline showing that the daily floor routines split attention between short-term therapy recovery and permanent residential care.
The daily routine depends on a 24-hour nursing team that logs an average of 4 hours and 58 minutes of direct, hands-on attention per resident every day. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and assistants use these hours to run clinical treatments alongside specialized physical, occupational, and speech therapy routines. When visiting, keep in mind the neighborhood has a walk score of 65, making it moderately walkable so you can easily handle a few errands on foot, though most trips across town require a car.

Reviewing these older health department logs with the administrator is a direct way to see how the staff handles daily quality control monitoring.
