SOUTHERN TRACE REHABILITATION AND CARE CENTER

Southern Trace Rehabilitation and Care Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 22515 I-30 in Bryant, Arkansas, within Saline County. The facility operates with 95 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of one to five stars across several categories. Southern Trace Rehabilitation and Care Center holds an overall CMS rating of 4 stars. This rating is supported by individual category scores of 4 stars in health inspections, 4 stars in staffing, and 4 stars in quality measures. The health inspection rating reflects findings from state inspections conducted over a three-year period. The staffing rating accounts for the hours of care provided per resident per day by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. The quality measure rating is based on clinical data covering areas such as resident mobility, medication management, and other care outcomes. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Southern Trace Rehabilitation and Care Center is able to bill these federal and state programs directly for qualifying residents. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation services following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility requirements and benefit period limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria in Arkansas. Individuals and families are encouraged to contact the facility directly at 501-847-0777 to inquire about private pay options and any additional accepted insurance or payment sources. When compared to the national average overall CMS star rating of 3.0 stars, Southern Trace Rehabilitation and Care Center performs above that benchmark with its 4-star overall rating. Each of its three subcategory ratings, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, also exceeds the national average threshold. This positions the facility above average relative to the broader national distribution of rated nursing homes, though ratings reflect data compiled at the time of the most recent CMS update and may not capture all current conditions at the facility. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review CMS data directly and conduct facility visits as part of their decision-making process.
