Overview of The Springs of Greers Ferry

Operated by Seven Springs Healthcare LLC, The Springs of Greers Ferry is a nursing home in Heber Springs, Arkansas. The 140-bed community is owned by Gerald Carlyle. It’s located on Wedding Ford Road in a car-dependent area, so it’s primarily accessible by vehicle. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to arrange care.

The community currently has an occupancy rate of 59%, with residents staying for an average of 123 days.

Nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 24 minutes per resident daily. Care is provided by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. This level of direct care supports the community’s focus on post-acute rehabilitation and ongoing skilled nursing services.

State inspections have concentrated on the processes of operation and the delivery of care, including food safety practices, staff training and documentation, and compliance with infection control and care protocols. These are good operational and clinical areas of questioning that families may want to ask on a tour, as they reflect how the community is run daily.

The surrounding Heber Springs area offers a quieter, rural setting. Visiting family members will need to plan transportation because the location is not walkable for errands or activities. For those seeking skilled nursing care in the area and comparing options, an in-person visit can help clarify the daily routines, staffing interactions, and resident activities that shape the community experience.
