Atkins Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a long-term care facility located at 605 Northwest 7th Street in Atkins, Arkansas (Pope County), ZIP code 72823. The facility operates 90 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit corporation. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns these ratings based on three primary components: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Atkins Nursing and Rehabilitation Center received a health inspection rating of 3 stars, a staffing rating of 4 stars, and a quality measure rating of 5 stars. The health inspection rating reflects the findings of state and federal surveys conducted at the facility. The staffing rating accounts for the number of nursing hours provided per resident per day, adjusted for resident acuity. The quality measure rating is derived from clinical data submitted by the facility and covers outcomes such as mobility, medication management, and hospitalization rates. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Atkins Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is able to accept residents whose care is funded through either of these federal programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation services following a qualifying hospital stay. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet both clinical and financial eligibility criteria. Residents and families seeking information about coverage and eligibility are generally directed to contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor through their state or local Area Agency on Aging. When compared against the national average overall star rating of 3.0 stars, Atkins Nursing and Rehabilitation Center's overall rating of 4 stars places it above that benchmark. The quality measure component, rated at 5 stars, represents the highest available score in that category and is notably above the national norm. The health inspection score of 3 stars is in line with the national average, while the staffing score of 4 stars also exceeds it. These figures are drawn from CMS data and are updated periodically as new inspection results, staffing reports, and quality measure data become available. The facility is located in Atkins, Arkansas, a smaller community in Pope County, serving residents in that region of the state.
