Overview of River Ridge Rehabilitation and Care Center

A skilled nursing facility in Wynne, Arkansas, River Ridge Rehabilitation and Care Center is operated by Cross SNF Operations, LLC and administered by Deborah Hicks. Located at 1100 East Martin Drive, the home is set in a moderately walkable area where some day-to-day errands can be done on foot. As a 100-bed facility, it serves residents who need nursing care and those recovering from hospitalization or surgery.

The home supports short-term rehabilitation and ongoing skilled nursing care, focusing on helping residents regain independence post hospital stay. It houses an Enhanced Care Unit for residents with complex needs and offers specialized programming for veterans. A doctor is on staff, supported by nursing care that encompasses registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides working all the time. Staffing levels reflect the facility’s emphasis on hands-on care: nursing aides provide roughly 2 hours and 46 minutes of care per resident daily, licensed nurses add another hour and 8 minutes combined, and registered nurses contribute 23 minutes per resident day. Respite care exists for families needing temporary placement support. Daily living includes three meals prepared by registered dietitians. Residents likewise have access to high-speed internet, housekeeping services, multiple eating areas, and outdoor gazebos for time outside. Spacious closets give storage, and the facility provides furniture for visiting family. This makes it easier for relatives to gather and spend time together during visits.

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. 21m per day ▼ 11% 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. 44m per day ▼ 24% 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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 38m per day ▼ 3% State avg: 2h 43m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 23m per day ▲ 47% State avg: 16m per day · National avg: 28m per day
