With an address in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Craighead Nursing Center is one of four available facilities there. We awarded this nursing home a decent overall grade of C. We were somewhat surprised to learn that it proved to be the number one rated nursing home in Jonesboro. Based on our analysis, there are certainly much worse nursing homes out there. One of the best aspects of this facility's profile is its exemplary inspection grade, which we will address in the next paragraph.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 94.19087 percent of its residents. This is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's worst area is short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. It received a lowly F in this category. Despite several respectable scores in other areas, this score is still concerning so we felt obligated to make a note of it. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
