MURFREESBORO – The Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) has revoked the nursing home license of Murfreesboro Rehab and Nursing, Inc. as well as the license of the facility’s administrator after a survey earlier this month allegedly revealed multiple significant violations including the misappropriation of resident funds. That’s according to a statement released to Hope-Prescott News.
“DHS has also appointed an employee to act as the temporary management for the facility while our teams work closely with the 35 residents to move them to alternate settings that best meet their needs,” the statement added.
Arkansas DHS hand delivered a letter Wednesday, May 20th to facility owner Sandra Barnett. That letter stated, quote, “On May 7, 2026, the Office of Long-Term Care, under the Division of Provider Services and Quality Assurance (DPSQA), completed a survey at Murfreesboro Rehab and Nursing, Inc…The survey is resulting in the revocation of Murfressboro Rehab’s nursing home license.”
