Its location between Fayetteville and Rogers offers seniors with advanced medical needs multiple destinations for health care, including the Northwest Medical Center – Springdale and the Northwest Health Physicians Specialty Hospital. Older residents will find the region’s cost of living and medical care economical, making it easier to access treatment. Local nursing home costs are in keeping with this trend, averaging $6,083 monthly according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey, nearly $2,000 less than the national median.
