    Unclean, unsafe care; poor activities

    I placed a loved one here briefly and will be removing them. The facility looks unappealing, unclean and disorganized; patients were allowed to wander unattended and supervision/safety seemed poor. Some long-tenured, down-to-earth staff seemed caring, but many CNAs were unprofessional or lazy, rehab wasn't done and activities were very limited - I do not recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is predominantly negative, with several recurring themes that point to significant operational and care-quality issues. The most prominent concerns are cleanliness, safety and supervision, and the quality of hands-on care. Multiple reviewers report the facility is "not clean" and presents an unappealing appearance, contributing to an overall bad impression. Safety lapses are emphasized: residents have been allowed to wander hallways unattended, and reviewers explicitly cite poor supervision and safety concerns. These issues combine to create an environment where families feel the need to remove loved ones; at least one reviewer stated plans to discharge their family member and several reviewers explicitly do not recommend the facility.

    Care quality and rehabilitation services are another major area of concern. Reviewers indicate that rehabilitation is "not performed" or inadequate, suggesting that promised or necessary therapy and clinical follow-through are not reliably delivered. In addition to missed or insufficient rehab, frontline caregiving receives criticism: CNAs are described as unprofessional and "lazy," indicating inconsistent bedside care, poor responsiveness, or lack of attentiveness. These complaints about direct care staff amplify the safety and supervision issues, since inadequate CNA performance directly affects resident daily care and well-being.

    Staffing and culture present a mixed picture. On the positive side, several reviewers note strengths: the staff are described as down-to-earth, the community is small, and there are long-tenured employees with deep roots who clearly care about the residents. Phrases such as "staff loves their people" reflect genuine, personal commitment by some team members and suggest institutional history and continuity. However, this positive characterization coexists with reports of unprofessionalism among CNAs and organizational disarray. The combination indicates inconsistency across shifts or departments: certain long-term staff may provide warmth and stability, while other staff or systemic problems undermine overall care and safety.

    Facility operations, management, and activities are also criticized. Reviewers label the facility "unorganized," which likely contributes to the supervision lapses and failures in rehabilitation delivery. Activity programming is described as limited, which affects resident quality of life—especially in a small community where meaningful engagement is important for morale. There is no mention of dining in the reviews provided; therefore no conclusions can be drawn about food quality or meal service based on these summaries.

    Taken together, the reviews reveal a pattern of contrasting strengths and weaknesses. Strengths include a close-knit atmosphere and experienced, caring long-term staff who are embedded in the community. Weaknesses are more consequential: cleanliness problems, poor appearance, inadequate supervision leading to safety risks, inconsistent or substandard CNA performance, failure to deliver rehab services, limited activities, and organizational disorganization. These negative factors appear significant enough to prompt families to consider relocating residents and to lead reviewers to explicitly not recommend the facility. Any prospective resident or family should weigh the apparent personal dedication of some staff against the systemic concerns about safety, cleanliness, and care consistency, and should seek up-to-date information on corrective actions, staffing patterns, supervision protocols, and rehabilitation program delivery before making placement decisions.

    About Heritage Square Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

    Heritage Square Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits at 710 N Ruddle Rd in Blytheville, Arkansas, and has been providing care since 1998, now operating under Reliance Health Care Management, which is based out of Conway and runs several locations in Arkansas like Springville, Beebe, Fayetteville, Rison, Star City, El Dorado, and Manila, so people might recognize the name from other towns too, and this place has changed names over time, once called Heritage Square Nursing Center, but folks still know it as a nursing home that covers a lot of ground when it comes to senior care, as you'll find nursing and rehabilitation services, physical therapy, skilled nursing, memory care with 24-hour support, and specialized dementia programs-all tailored to each person's needs, with registered nurses, doctors, nutritionists, and therapists on staff, many of whom have experience giving patient, compassionate care to folks who want to stay as independent as possible but need some help because of aging, illness, or disability. The staffing level runs about average, but the facility stands out for quality, since it gets a "Much above average" rating for overall quality and health inspections, and you don't always see that in Arkansas, and it sits as part of Heritage Square Healthcare Center, so whether someone needs long-term care or short-term rehab after a hospital stay, staff can provide wound care, help with transfers, assistance bathing and dressing, medication management, meals, and personal care, and this nursing home also features active adult living, independent and assisted living options, adult day services, home health care, non-medical home care, and hospice, so it really handles just about every situation a family might face, from needing just a little help to needing 24-hour skilled care, and it accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.

    The building includes amenities like restaurant-style dining, air conditioning, cable TV, wi-fi, kitchens, private bathrooms, and fully furnished rooms, along with options for phone service, weekly housekeeping, and linen service, and outside the rooms there's a dining room, a garden, a fitness and wellness center, game room, small library, computer center, and even a beauty salon-residents can use community-sponsored wellness programs, planned activities, and transportation services for medical and non-medical trips, making it easier for people to get to appointments or run errands. For medical needs, there's a clinic on site with physicians who work alongside nursing staff to cover medical checkups, and the rehab center can help after surgery, accidents, or illness with physical therapy and recovery planning, and the staff pays attention not only to physical health but emotional and mental wellness too, offering memory-enhancing activities, person-centered memory care for folks with dementia, and support for caregivers with respite care that can last from a few hours to several days.

    Palliative care is available for people with serious illnesses like cancer or heart failure, focusing on comfort, emotional support, and practical help, and hospice care supports people with incurable, life-limiting illnesses either in the facility or at home, emphasizing comfort and quality of life. Residents get individualized attention, as the team works to suit each person's needs-whether preparing customized medication plans, helping with meals and daily tasks, or coordinating with families about when short-term or long-term care should change. Heritage Square Nursing & Rehabilitation Center serves as part of a network, but folks in Blytheville have come to rely on it as a steady, reputable place for elders, and people often say its combination of professional staff, variety of services, and patient-centered approach makes it a good choice for seniors needing a broad range of care in one location.
