The Best Senior Living Communities in Bryant, AR

"I toured Vitality Living Pleasant Hills. They had several different kinds of living arrangements. They showed all of them to me, and they were very clean. They were very hospitable, and the landscape was great. They were just more than welcoming. The apartment is very spacious and very clean. They had amenities that I appreciated, and the closet space was ample. They also had outside balconies, which I enjoyed. They gave me a range of apartments to look at. They had a courtyard area. They have a covered outside area, and a common area besides the dining room."

"I toured Brookdale Chenal Heights. It was just a classier place. It's kind of like comparing it to a cardboard house and a solid wood house. The furnishings were just updated, and the fixtures and the overall look of the place just had a more classy look to it versus a nursing home look. The food is excellent."

"I'm now at Fox Ridge Chenal. I think it is the best one. I have a small, 1-bedroom apartment. The staff is good, but it is expensive. Overall, the experience has been good."

"Holiday Andover Place is a nice community. It's just too small for what I was looking for. They were very patient. It's not like they were trying to convince me to move there. They just wanted the best that would be provided to me and my mom. It was very clean and everything seemed to be well organized."

"We toured Pinnacle Place Memory Care, and it was excellent. It was clean, everybody was nice, and they had nice rooms. I would live there myself, and I would be happy. The staff members were excellent. They answered any questions we had and knew who to ask if they didn't know the answer, so we're quite pleased. For the meals, the residents had a menu where they could choose what they wanted for the day. I think that was nice, too."

"Mira at Maumelle didn't have their ducks all in a row. They have people living there, but it's just hard to tell how that's going to pan out. And it was a little further out than we wanted. The person who took us around was not the normal tour person because it seemed like he had way too many things on his plate, and that was a little disturbing. Their dining area was nice. However, I don't remember that much about them because as soon as we got there and saw how disorganized they were, we knew it wasn't for us."

"I toured Willow Grove of Maumelle. It seemed like they wanted to pay attention to my mother. The only problem I had was the cost of it all. It was very clean; it was immaculate. The staff there seemed like they were taking care of the people that were under their care. And from what they showed me, it seemed like the apartments were good and spacious. They had a very nice layout, and they seemed very comfortable. There was enough space to help my mother and whatever she may have needed while staying there. They did a great job of showing us the facilities and telling us about everything they did for the people under their care. They were very nice. They asked good questions."

"Fox Ridge is clean. The people are knowledgeable and keep me updated on what's going on. I am very happy with them. My wife has been in their memory care for about a month already. Her room has all the furniture in it. It is kept clean every day, and I feel very confident that she's being kept safe there. The dining area is clean too. She is very happy there, and they keep her busy with all kinds of things like walking. I have no problems at all with them."

"My mom is living in Mt. Carmel Community at The Village. She went in first to assisted living and then ended up going to memory care. She loves it there. She wasn't happy when they moved her into memory care because now she's locked up. The other day they were playing chair volleyball and they sent me pictures. I just love the head nurse that's over that area. She's awesome. We had a meeting with her, I think it was Thursday and she was talking about Alzheimer's and where Mom's at right now because Mom's been going downhill, and we just can't afford to keep her there anymore. It's so expensive over there. So it's like over $2,000 cheaper at the other place. The room at Mount Carmel is quite a bit smaller, but they're always clean and nice. They do all the cleaning and stuff, and she's got plenty of room. She doesn't need a big room. She doesn't sleep in a bed. She hasn't for years because she can't move in the morning if she sleeps in the bed, she can't sleep flat. She has a recliner she sleeps in, so she doesn't need a whole lot of room. We've eaten there many times. It's really good food. They have a library, a film room, and a gym. But I don't think they take the residents over there. They also have physical therapy and it's there if the residents want to use it. But, most of the time, I don't see anybody there. They have a card room, but you can play cards anywhere. They have all those puzzles and they have activities. If they're having a group come to sing or whatever, they'll take them out of memory care down to the regular population so they can enjoy it too. It's a very positive atmosphere."

"Great staff. Very friendly. Mom loves the food. She has been there for 9 years and we are totally please with the staff and facilities."

"Great facilities. Very concerned for the residents.. definitely a great place"

"Courtyard Cottages was a great place to live, they’re friendly people, and it’s like a little community. I was there for 2 years. Kathy was a really sweet lady and helpful. They had a nice kitchen setup with a full stove, full refrigerator, washer and dryer, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a big living area. They also had an exercise room, and a room they could have parties."

"My dad was at Evergreen Living Center at Stagecoach for rehab and I checked out the nursing home part in the last month because I'm thinking he needs nursing home care. The facility was very nice. For rehab, you get a room by yourself, and for the nursing home room, there are two people. The food was very good, and the place was very, very clean. The staff had excellent communication with the family. It was a very quick process to get your paperwork in and all the paperwork done on time. They were very helpful in doing all the paperwork and making it a quicker process than in some places. That's my very first choice, and I may not be able to get there because a lot of beds are single occupied, and I'm afraid that their beds will get full right now because they only have a couple, before I get my Medicaid kicked in. But it's it's a very, very nice place. They have a hair salon to get your hair cut. I can't say I've seen anything exactly, but supposedly they have a podiatrist and an eye doctor that come in, and these are things you don't get in a nursing home. If you need your hearing checked, they have all these people, these doctors that will come there to the facility, which I've really never seen a lot of before. If someone needs dental care, something about the teeth, they will get a dentist to come out. That was a big plus. The dining area was very nice. It had a lot of tables where you ate with somebody, like three or four people around the table. You did have a choice of what you wanted to drink. When my dad was there in rehab, you go in a line like a little small cafeteria line, and they had a little bit of choice in there."

"I will move into The Manor Benton. The cottages were a lot nicer than the other places I looked. They had a bathtub. That's the only place that had a bathtub. They include three meals a day. All the appliances are there: a washer, dryer, stove, microwave, and refrigerator. It's wonderful. I'm looking forward to it. The person who took me around was good. She was very personable and knowledgeable. I had a meal there, and it was very good. The facility was clean. It was freshly painted, and it looked nice."
