CMS Star Ratings

★★★★☆
Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Nursing And Rehabilitation Center At Good Shepherd holds a 5-star overall rating, in the top tier CMS assigns. Its health-inspection rating is lower than its overall rating — the overall score is being lifted by staffing or quality-measure ratings, which draw partly on facility-reported data. Nursing staff turnover of 65% is well above the Arkansas average of 49%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
