Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Short-term rehab
For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.
- Sent back to the hospital27.2%State average: 24.1%About average
- Needed an emergency room visit16.9%State average: 12.5%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs2.6%State average: 1.3%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 8 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is more than the state average of 2 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury2.2%State average: 3.9%Better than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.4%State average: 4.2%About average
- Given antipsychotic drugs10.4%State average: 10.9%About average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days2.4State average: 2.0Worse than average

Who pays, and how full it is
Many residents here pay privately or through insurance. In Arkansas, Medicaid pays for 67% of resident days at a typical home.
- 10% Medicaid
- 17% Medicare
- 72% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average78%Arkansas typical: 72%
Facility operating cost per resident day$459Arkansas typical: $308
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2023. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
