Overview of Creekside at the Springs

Shelli Casey owns and runs Creekside at the Springs, a 96-bed nursing home on North Panther Avenue in Yellville, Arkansas. The building stays pretty steady at around 77 percent occupancy, and residents typically stay for about 98 days on average. This intermediate timeline indicates that the daily work split alternates between short-term post-hospital therapy and long-term residential setups. Families looking over billing paths can secure care through standard private funds, traditional Medicare, or state Medicaid.

The 24-hour nursing team provides about 4 hours and 21 minutes of direct, hands-on care for each resident daily. This crew of registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides handles daily medical needs and specialized physical therapy to help people bounce back from surgeries or strokes.

When family members come to visit, they can easily walk to a few nearby spots around town, though they will still want a car to get around for most errands.

Prospective residents can call the intake desk to verify immediate room openings or to review the standard admissions paperwork. The front office can also detail the steps the building has implemented to update its daily workflows following recent state safety audits.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 37m per day ▲ 52% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 50m per day ▼ 13% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.
