Bear Creek Healthcare is the lone nursing home we identified in De Queen, Arkansas. This facility was awarded an overall grade of D, which is a lower end score. This is not the worse facility we found, however, we would still be very reluctant to recommend it. Nevertheless, this facility surprisingly performed well in our long-term care category, which you can read more about below.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we surprisingly gave it an excellent grade in the area of long-term care, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. This helped its overall profile to some degree. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 80.588234 percent of its patients. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility an D. We analyzed the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in determining our score in this category. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Among this place's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection score. Generally, this means we found some red flags on the nursing home's inspections. For places that received this poor of an inspection score, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was hit with 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility has been assessed significant government fines recently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we assessed is short-term care. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. In computing these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. With a score this poor for this area, we weren't surprised to find that this facility was well below average in multiple staffing areas we assess. The nursing home provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
