Holiday The Gardens At Arkanshire

RR

The Gardens at Arkanshire was great. It's got an independent living, and you can be there up to hospice if you need to be. They told me they do other stuff. They'll bring in people when you get to the point where you need that and that if you need hospice, they'll bring in hospice. It seemed to be a nice place. It was clean and well lit, it wasn't dreary, it seemed like a lively place. It wasn't like a nursing home. They have little things that they arrange and they go here and there and do little things. Of course, with COVID, it's been kind of limited, but they try to have activities. If I was going to go to a place right now, it'd be the kind of place I'd want to go to. Something else about them that I thought was pretty cool is they're a chain and there are 300 of them across the country. If you have a cottage or whatever there and you decide you want to go on vacation to one of the other places and there's an opening, you can go for a week at a time without a charge and stay in one of the other places. That's like having a built-in timeshare.

I moved into The Gardens at Arkanshire. They showed a video of their studio apartment, and it looked really nice. The staff is really nice. They're all super friendly. They tell you, "Welcome home," when you first come in. They consider you part of the family. Everybody I talk to is just really happy here. They offer three meals a day. Since I came from a facility that was under lockdown for COVID, I'm under quarantine here. I haven't gone out to do the activities, but they have them. I can see a big courtyard from my window and it looks very nice. Everything is well kept. They do their best to keep the place up and keep everybody happy. After checking out several other places, this one was reasonable. It's located between Fayetteville and Springdale. It makes it handy to get to either one, so that's a plus. It's near a mall and several eating places that are good.

My parents are going to The Gardens At Arkanshire. The staff members are very helpful. The room they've chosen is a good size; it's a two-bedroom that's full of windows, and it has a wraparound deck. It's wonderful. I've seen their activity schedule, and they have lots of offerings. They invited us to eat there, and it was a very good meal. I've dealt with Sandy, who is the coordinator for advertising units, and the rental manager. The activities director and some of the other people were very attentive and very good. They also provide additional assistance if needed through a separate entity that's associated with their building. All the people we passed while loading up the elevator and going in and out were very happy to be there.

The Gardens at Arkanshire was beautiful. The meal sounded wonderful. The rooms looked great. Everything was nice. It just wasn't a fit for us. I didn't particularly care for the $3000 entertainment fee that you had to pay upfront and that they didn't take Medicare.

The Gardens At Arkanshire had pretty much what their sister community that I visited also had. They had bingo which was pretty much what was going on at the time of my tour. They have the same set up as far as the activity rooms and things like that. Their rooms were really good. They have a refrigerator, cabinets, and countertop. You bring the microwave if you want one, and you can have anything but open flame. The only thing I saw outdoors was their sitting areas. They have a walking circle around the whole compound, or you can ride your scooter or your chair. It was extremely well-maintained.

We went to the Gardens at Arkanshire, and it's very nice. The apartments are really nice, and it felt more like living in an apartment than a retirement home. They have a salon, an exercise room, and a really nice dining area. It's a really laid back place, it's inviting, and it's well-maintained. Everybody working there was nice.

The Gardens was beautiful, but it was way too expensive for what she could be accustomed to, and that she could handle. It was more like a resort and more formal, very large. They even had cottages all the way to studios. They had separate stand alone cottages, and the people were amazing. The residents and the staff. They treated us to lunch, the food was amazing, and there were snacks available. It was very high end.

The Gardens at Arkanshire was nice, and the grounds were beautiful, but we didn’t want to live in Springfield.

The staff at The Gardens at Arkanshire was very helpful. They answered as many questions as they could and did an awesome job, but it just wasn't right for the situation that was happening with my grandmother. I also liked the rooms, and I would recommend them. I didn't have any problems with them. The dining area was nice and very clean. They made sure that everything was served in a clean and friendly environment. They had a lot of activities, too.

I have been living in The Gardens at Arkanshire for quite some time now. I initially chose this place because it is closer to the VA. This place is all pretty good. It is well maintained and well kept. The staff here is very helpful too. The staff takes care of their senior residents. I am in a studio apartment that has a bathroom and kitchenette in it. They also have a new chef, who has improved the quality of food. He cooks our food three times a day. We have a common dining room, and it is elegant. We have social recreations, like bingo and all other stuff. So far, everything has been great with this community.

My mother-in-law is doing fine. She lives in The Gardens at Arkanshire, a mile from our house. We like it because she believes that this is what is best for her, and that is the most important thing. It allowed us to know that she was going to be able to be comfortable and relaxed while living there. She has an assistant she pays to shower and do some laundry. The facility does all her meals and activities. They play some games together. They have cards, music and some educational things. Her daughter takes her out shopping when she wants to go. If she needs to see her doctor, she makes an appointment, and then we transport her.

What I liked about The Gardens at Arkanshire was they had two-bedroom cottages rather than just apartments. That appealed to us very much. We do a lot of travelling, and we also liked it because they had a program that when we are travelling, we can stay at any of their places for no charge as long as there is a vacancy. The cost was kind of high, but they had full kitchens, and we do not have to take their meal plans. They had a library.

We are probably going to The Gardens at Arkanshire. My impression about it was very favorable. The staff seemed very friendly and helpful. We looked into some of their activities, and they have bingo, a game called Sparkle that I have never played before, and they have bridge which is very interesting to me. They have studio apartments as well as one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. They also have one-bedroom and two-bedroom cottages, which are kind of remotely located. We stayed in a two-bedroom cottage, and we liked it very much.
