Overview of Ridgecrest Health and Rehabilitation

Operated by JBNC, Inc., under owner Steven Larson, Ridgecrest Health and Rehabilitation is a skilled nursing home in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The facility is located on East Johnson Avenue. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families multiple ways to cover both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term skilled nursing care. The 152-bed home operates at 73% occupancy. Residents stay an average of about 95 days due to the facility’s focus on post-acute rehabilitation and transitional care.

Rehabilitation services and 24-hour nursing care are central parts of the care model. Residents receive an average of 4 hours and 27 minutes of nursing care each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses make up the staffing team, and that daily nursing support is distributed. Residents also have access to personalized rehabilitation programs and respite care. A full range of on-site services supports both acute and chronic healthcare needs.

State inspections identified findings involving medication administration, assistance with daily activities, infection control, care planning, wound care management, and facility maintenance. Families touring the facility can ask how these operational areas are managed and how they maintain compliance with care standards.

Meal service is designed by a certified dietary manager. Accommodations are available for food allergies and personal preferences. Residents can join in activities that provide daily opportunities for entertainment and socialization through a structured calendar. The community also offers memory care support alongside its rehabilitation services.

The neighborhood’s Walk Score is 0. The area is car-dependent, and visiting family members need transportation to reach the facility and nearby services.
