Colonel Glenn Nursing and Rehab sits in Little Rock, Arkansas, and works as a skilled nursing and long-term care center with ties to Central Arkansas Nursing Centers, so you find 120 certified beds with room options that can be private or semi-private, each with a bath, cable TV setup, and large windows, and they put in a strong effort for comfort by offering flat screen TVs, free WiFi, and rooms with kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephones, and cable. People who need help for a short stay or a long time can find something that fits because they handle respite care, long-term care, and rehabilitation, and while the team at Colonel Glenn offers a lot of daily nursing support-about 4.45 nurse hours per resident, which is a bit more than most places in the area-they also have had a nurse turnover rate of 59.2%, which is higher than the state average, so families should think about that when looking. The facility provides 24-hour supervision, skilled nursing, medication help, transfers, and support with daily activities like bathing or dressing, and for people with memory loss, they use special communication training, plus have a separate area called The Retreat focused just on dementia and Alzheimer's care.
Colonel Glenn serves meals three ways-there's a main dining room, all-day dining, and a restaurant-style option, and food can be suited for people with allergies or diabetes, cooked up by a professional chef, but there have been issues with how food is handled and whether meals check all the right boxes for nutrition, which are things you might want to look into further. Infection prevention hasn't always been perfect, because they've had infection-related shortcomings, and other health inspections turned up issues with making and sending assessment data, and with meeting some standards in resident care planning and nutrition details, so the health record's a mix and one should find out the current status. Amenities cover movie nights in a theater room, exercise and fitness programs, a business room, and a good spread of indoor and outdoor options, like a garden, walking paths, and places to sit outside, along with an arts room, library, spa area, and many chances for games, music, arts, and get-togethers, whether led by staff or by the residents themselves.
For people coming and going, there's parking and transportation help, and staff will assist with move-in, emergencies, or day-to-day needs through a call system and concierge services, plus barber and beauty help is right there. Meals, snacks, and special diet needs are part of the basic routine, and the housekeeping and laundry services keep personal spaces tidy. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, so there's some support for different budgets. Colonel Glenn Nursing and Rehab has a long local track record, and the ownership hasn't switched hands recently, but because the facility has had some areas needing improvement, especially in infection and food safety, along with staff stability, it's smart to check current inspection reports and talk to the nurse managers before deciding.
