Pocahontas Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

Pocahontas Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center sits in Pocahontas, Arkansas, and offers skilled nursing care, short-term rehab, memory care, and hospice, as well as respite care for families needing a break. The building holds 97 certified beds and has private suites for residents who want their own space, and the memory care unit has extra security with rooms designed for safety and comfort, including cable TV, high-speed internet, comfortable beds, housekeeping, big closets, furniture for guests, and a private dining room. You'll see a small library, a large dining hall, a big-screen TV with leather recliners or sofas, lots of games, and a fenced courtyard so folks can sit out on the patio or garden, and there are even visits from local farmers and their horses, which folks seem to like, plus regular outings to parks for fishing or evenings at the movies are planned for anyone interested. Residents take part in cooking classes, crafting, and group games, so there's usually something going on, and the staff aim to create a feeling of community. Daily activities run alongside 24/7 nursing care with nurse hours averaging about 3.88 per resident. Therapy is available on-site for stroke recovery, wound care, neurological rehab, postsurgical care, and more, and there's transportation for doctor appointments. Nurses and caregivers follow personalized care plans, including for very frail residents needing a lot of help, and management by Jej Management, LLC and Alexark1 LLC started in January 2022. The facility's nurse turnover rate sits at 51.6%. Affiliation with Southern Administrative Services supports operations. Lab services are arranged, and infection control protocols are in place; however, there's a record of 31 deficiencies, some for not honoring resident rights, accident prevention, supervision, and infection issues, so those are important to know. There are policies to ensure dignified care. People describe the center as family-like and peaceful, with plenty of amenities to help everyone feel at home, but the facility has had its share of problems according to state inspection reports, and that's also something to keep in mind.
