Primarily short stays
Residents typically stay for brief periods, with frequent admissions and discharges throughout the year.
Most new residents arrive under private pay (72% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
Kelly Souza owns Katherines Place at Wedington, a 109-bed nursing facility operated by WCNC, Inc. in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The building has been open for 15 years and runs at an 86 percent occupancy rate, with resident stays averaging 123 days. This timeline shows that the daily workforce splits its time between short-term post-hospital therapy and long-term residential care. To cover room rates and clinical costs, the business manages payments through standard private pay, traditional Medicare, and state Medicaid.
A dedicated therapy gym serves as the operational center for physical recovery, backed by a 24-hour nursing team that logs 4 hours and 37 minutes of hands-on care per resident each day. This round-the-clock staff of registered nurses, practical nurses, and assistants handles short-term rehabilitation, care planning, and complex wound treatments.
For daily living, a certified dietary manager runs the kitchen to accommodate individual food allergies in the main dining hall, while additional amenities include an outdoor courtyard, social activities, and an on-site hair salon. Because the neighborhood is car-dependent, visitors will need to drive when coming to the property.
Families researching local care options can reach out to the admissions office to check on current openings or find out about the intake process. The administrative staff can also detail how the building has corrected recent findings from government health inspectors, who previously noted compliance issues with medication management, care plan documentation, and infection control protocols during their routine safety audits.
Katherines Place at Wedington is legally operated by WCNC, Inc., and administered by Kayla Loker.
