Des Arc Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 98-bed skilled nursing facility at 2216 West Main Street in Des Arc, Arkansas, providing on-site rehabilitation services and 24-hour staffing. The privately owned community is operated by Prairie SNF Operations, LLC and serves Prairie County. It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.
The facility holds a 1-star overall CMS rating. Across three inspections since 2022, it recorded 33 total citations — 57% above the Arkansas average of 21 — and 11 deficiencies per inspection, compared with a state average of 4.2.
The January 2024 inspection resulted in two Immediate Jeopardy findings, one tied to mechanical lift safety failures and a second to untimely reporting of injuries of unknown origin; both were removed after corrective actions. A $8,000 civil money penalty followed in January 2024. The most recent inspection, in January 2025, recorded 8 deficiencies covering infection control, nutrition, care planning, and resident dignity — all corrected.
Nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day, roughly in line with the Arkansas average of 4 hours and 45 minutes. RN staffing stands out at 42 minutes per day, 75% above the state average of 24 minutes — a meaningful clinical oversight figure for a facility serving a predominantly Medicaid, long-term population.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 67%, modestly below the state average of 71.3%, suggesting current availability. The payer mix skews toward long-term Medicaid residents, who make up 72% of the current census; average length of stay runs 313 days.
The facility’s programs include an Enhanced Care Unit, a Veteran Care program, and an outpatient track.
Des Arc Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is structured for long-term Medicaid residents and post-acute rehabilitation in Prairie County, with capacity available and a care model oriented toward ongoing skilled nursing and resident programming. However, families should review the facility’s Immediate Jeopardy findings and inspection history before considering placement.
Des Arc Nursing And Rehabilitation Center is legally operated by Prairie SNF Operations, LLC, and administrated by Taylor Washington.
In Arkansas, the Department of Human Services, Office of Long Term Care is authorized to conduct unannounced inspections and issue official quality of care reports for all senior living providers.
