Ozark Nursing and Rehab

Ozark Nursing and Rehab, located at 600 North 12th Street in Ozark, Arkansas, provides trusted skilled nursing and rehabilitation services at the heart of the beautiful Arkansas River Valley. Managed by Southern Administrative Services, an experienced healthcare management organization committed to compassionate and clinically sound care, Ozark Nursing and Rehab has long served as a vital resource for seniors and recovering patients throughout Franklin County and the surrounding River Valley communities. Ozark is the county seat of Franklin County, a charming small city nestled between the Arkansas River to the south and the Ozark Highlands to the north. The area's natural beauty is legendary—the Pig Trail Scenic Byway (Arkansas Highway 23) winds northward through stunning mountain terrain, and the nearby Mulberry River is celebrated as one of the finest whitewater rivers in the region, drawing outdoor enthusiasts year-round. Natural Dam, the widest natural dam in the United States, is a remarkable local landmark just a short drive away. The Arkansas River itself runs along the southern edge of town, offering scenic views, fishing, and peaceful riverfront experiences that reflect the serene quality of life in this corner of the River Valley. For medical support, Ozark residents benefit from connections to Fort Smith, approximately 25 miles to the southwest via Interstate 40—home to Mercy Hospital Fort Smith, one of the region's leading acute care hospitals, as well as Baptist Health–Fort Smith. This proximity to Fort Smith's medical infrastructure gives residents and families confidence that specialist consultations, emergency services, and surgical care are within close reach. Southern Administrative Services brings consistent operational standards and a caring management philosophy to Ozark Nursing and Rehab. The facility's skilled nursing team provides 24-hour care, physical and occupational rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery support, wound management, and long-term residential care tailored to each resident's unique needs. For Franklin County families seeking professional, compassionate skilled nursing close to home in a community they know and trust, Ozark Nursing and Rehab stands as a cornerstone of local healthcare.
