Is The Springs of Pinnacle Mountain a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 4 out of 5 stars overall, above the Arkansas average of 3.5. Inspectors issued 15 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.
