- With occupancy near 34%, ask which halls have open beds and why.
- CMS lists a resident council; ask when it meets and how families take part.
- If Arkansas Medicaid will pay later, confirm Barnes Healthcare keeps Medicaid long-stay beds and ask how the resident's monthly personal needs allowance is handled.
