The Pines Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

The Pines Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 125-bed skilled nursing facility administered by Brandon Bowell at 601 Carpenter Dam Road in Hot Springs, Garland County, Arkansas. Operated as a for-profit limited liability company under the “Pines” entity, the facility holds dual Medicare and Medicaid certification across all 125 beds and accepts private pay, with monthly costs ranging from around $5,171 to $6,125. A doctor is on staff and 24-hour care is maintained. The facility is part of a broader Arkansas-based operator network including The Green House Cottages in Belle Meade, Homewood, Northwest Arkansas, Poplar Grove, Southern Hills, Walnut Ridge, and Wentworth Place, as well as specialized pediatric care facilities and an out-of-state Green House location in Colorado.

Short-stay quality measures require the most careful review. The upside: the facility records zero falls with major injury, 100 percent better than the Arkansas average, with self-care ability at discharge of 68.0 percent running 27 percent above the state benchmark. Both indicate strong rehabilitation outcomes for residents who complete their stays. However, the short-stay emergency department visit rate of 24.2 percent is 75 percent above the Arkansas average, the re-hospitalization rate of 29.3 percent is 16 percent above average, and successful return to home or community at 43.0 percent trails the state average by 15 percent. CMS rates the short-stay quality measure dimension as below average overall. These figures denote the facility handles individual rehabilitation well for residents who stabilize, but post-discharge and acute-event outcomes for short-stay residents are areas families should probe in their evaluation.

Eleven amenities are present: complimentary Wi-Fi, a covered outdoor patio, a private courtyard, spacious community rooms, a beauty shop, daily housekeeping, laundry service, therapeutic recreation, pet-friendly accommodations, three daily meals with snacks, and private or community dining options. The Pines Nursing and Rehabilitation Center provides skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and respite care, with an on-site therapy team covering physical, occupational, and speech-language pathology services. The named program “Life With Us” reflects the facility’s emphasis on personalized care plans and an elder-centered approach consistent with the broader operator network’s philosophy. Residents also benefit from transport to appointments and daily activities. Staffing presents a mixed picture. RN hours reach 30 minutes per resident per day, 25 percent above the Arkansas state average of 24 minutes, a meaningful strength for clinical oversight. CNA hours at 2 hours 39 minutes per day are essentially at the state average. LPN hours at 46 minutes per day are 19 percent below average, and weekend total nursing of 3 hours 21 minutes is modestly below. Weekend RN coverage at 9 minutes per day is 44 percent below the state average of 16 minutes, the most notable staffing gap, particularly for residents needing clinical monitoring on Saturdays and Sundays. Physical therapist hours of 3 minutes per day are 50 percent above the state average, supporting the short-term rehabilitation function.

The facility suits residents in the Hot Springs area seeking skilled nursing or long-term care within a multi-facility network that includes Green House-model communities, strong RN oversight, and a fall-safe record. Short-stay rehabilitation patients and their families should review the ED visit, re-hospitalization data, and discharge planning protocols with the facility’s care team before admission.
