Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Arkansas in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving residents at least once a day.

Grade: C

The next area we looked at is short-term care. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. This proved to be this facility's worst category. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals.
