LONOKE HEALTH AND REHAB CENTER, LLC
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Lonoke Health and Rehab Center has received a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns regarding the quality of care provided. Ranking #201 out of 218 facilities in Arkansas places it in the bottom half of state options, and as the lowest in Lonoke County, families may want to explore other alternatives. The facility's trend is worsening, with the number of reported issues increasing from 5 in 2023 to 15 in 2024, highlighting growing problems. Staffing is rated at 2 out of 5 stars with a 55% turnover rate, which is average, but concerningly, there is less RN coverage than 85% of Arkansas facilities, potentially impacting resident care. Specific incidents noted by inspectors include staff failing to sanitize their hands while assisting multiple residents with meals, raising infection risk, and issues with food safety such as expired items not being discarded, indicating serious procedural lapses. While the facility has no fines on record, the overall poor performance in health inspections and staffing should be carefully considered by families.
