LAKE VILLAGE REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Lake Village Rehabilitation and Care Center has a Trust Grade of C+, which means it is considered decent and slightly above average compared to other facilities. It ranks #111 out of 218 nursing homes in Arkansas, placing it in the bottom half, but it is the top facility in Chicot County. Unfortunately, the trend is worsening, with the number of issues increasing from 5 in 2023 to 7 in 2024. Staffing is a strength, scoring 4 out of 5 stars with a turnover rate of 30%, which is well below the state average. The facility has not incurred any fines, which is a positive sign, and it boasts more registered nurse coverage than 84% of Arkansas facilities. However, there are notable concerns regarding food safety practices. Recent inspections found that the facility failed to date food items properly, which could lead to potential contamination. For example, spices were found without proper labeling, and dented cans were not removed from circulation, risking the health of residents who received meals from the kitchen. These issues highlight a need for improvement in food handling procedures, despite the overall decent rating of the facility.
