Crittenden County Health and Rehabilitation Center sits in a quiet rural spot close to an Amish community, with small shops, antique vendors, and local points like McDonald's, Crittenden Health Systems, Glenn's Apothecary, and Marion Physicians Clinic right around the corner, and when it comes to care, the facility covers everything from skilled nursing and memory care services to respite stays and rehabilitation-folks can get help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and day-to-day support, while those with Alzheimer's or dementia receive special safety and care focused on their needs. There's a choice of studio rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, kitchenette, Wi-Fi, phone, and shared or private layouts; there are 101 certified beds, 52 rooms including one private room and 53 semi-private rooms, and 38 beds are open as of June 2025. Residents can count on 24-hour supervision, a call system, nursing shifts that run 12 to 16 hours, and regular visits from doctors like Dr. Yazigi, Dr. Burkhart, Dr. Graham, Dr. James, the Madduxes, and Dr. Starkey, with in-house speech, physical, and occupational therapy plus pharmacy, lab, podiatry, dental care, wound care, and weekly beauty salon visits. Meals come three times daily-7:15 am, 11:15 am, and 5:15 pm-in a dining room for up to 75 people, where menus get posted for dinner and the kitchen can provide special diets, with food from a professional chef.
The community, owned by a for-profit company and managed by Atrium Centers Management LLC since 2004, saw new ownership within the last year, and it's now the highest-rated in its city with a 5.5 out of 10 rating, though it's got a CMS nursing home star rating of 3 out of 5, and inspection records show 14 total deficiencies, including problems with nutrition, care planning, and infection control-most recent inspections cite a few issues that could lead to more than minimal harm. Staff are described as highly dedicated, but the nurse-to-resident staffing averages 2.69 hours per day, below the state's 3.9 hour average, and the nurse turnover rate is higher than average at 58.8%. Residents get access to many programs-arts and crafts, fitness room, game room, music, wellness room, movie nights, gardening, church services, outdoor walking paths, and group activities scheduled by both the facility and residents themselves-with regular transportation and parking, as well as emergency alert systems and weekly housekeeping, while there are no extra laundry charges. There are no resident reviews posted online yet.
Both family and resident councils meet monthly to discuss improvements or concerns, and the safety committee meets every week, with a strong focus on health and engagement for everyone living there. Admission requires a screening and the need for nursing or personal care, though they don't admit ventilator-dependent residents. The facility works with Medicare and Medicaid, and has a careful intake process with family advisors, care assessments, and a tour option online through SeniorHomes.com for families who want to take a look for themselves. Crittenden County Health and Rehabilitation Center puts attention on comfort and support for both short-term recoveries and long-term care and, while it's affiliated with a Continuing Care Retirement Community, it stands on its own, focusing on skillful nursing and close attention to each resident's plan.
