Crestpark of Stuttgart is a senior living center that gives people choices for care including skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, independent living, home care, hospice care, and rehabilitation, so you'll find a mix of services in one place depending on what someone might need after an illness, surgery, or just as they age, and the facility sits in Stuttgart, Arkansas, with 100 certified beds and usually about 47 residents daily. Each room has things to make life comfortable like private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, a telephone, Wi-Fi, and in some rooms kitchenettes. There are plenty of places for residents to gather, like a movie theater, game rooms, a library, arts room, community room, and fitness and wellness rooms, and there's a spa/sauna, walking paths, and gardens for fresh air, while meals get prepared by cooks and there's special menu help for dietary needs, which most people appreciate. The facility offers activities every day, like movies, music, crafts, devotional events, resident-led groups, and outings, so folks can stay busy if they want, and there's pet therapy, exercise options, and outdoor programs to encourage everyone to keep active, keep social, and have some purpose.
Crestpark of Stuttgart has 24-hour supervision, a 24-hour call system, an emergency alert system, and staff help with daily tasks like medication, bathing, dressing, transfers, and chores, with nurses available on each shift and regular visits from dentists, eye doctors, hearing specialists, and podiatrists, as well as therapists for those who need to recover after illness or surgery. People with diabetes, incontinence, memory troubles, and other health issues can get the care they need here, and help is available for both higher and lower needs, plus medication management and hospice care for those nearing the end of life. Medical and therapeutic services are all on-site, so it's easier for residents to get appointments and routine care without having to go elsewhere.
Crestpark of Stuttgart takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and is managed as a for-profit company where Barbara Belew and Melisha Dilks each hold half the ownership, and there are no reported indirect owners or other managers. The staff is seen as friendly and helpful by many people, with regular staff education, but average nurse turnover is higher at 45.1 percent, even though there's about 4.28 nurse hours per resident per day. It's also honest to say that the facility's had its share of issues, with recent inspections showing deficiencies-thirty-four total-including three about infection prevention and others about environmental safety and cleanliness. Crestpark of Stuttgart operates under federal infection control standards and tries to address these concerns, but the records show ongoing areas to improve. In spite of these challenges, there's still a sense that the staff tries to make the community welcoming and safe, and the focus stays on the safety, well-being, and daily comfort of seniors living there.
