The Best Assisted Living Communities in Pope County, AR

"My dad will be moving into Brookdale Russellville. The first thing my husband noticed was that it didn't smell like a nursing home. It smelled clean, not medicinal or anything like that. The people were very welcoming whenever we got there. We toured one of the model apartments, and then we also went into one of the studio apartments that my dad would possibly go into because he's going to need extra care. I was very impressed with the facility. The apartments were like very small apartments. There was a living area, which included a refrigerator and a microwave. There was a separate bedroom and a separate bathroom. The bathroom is handicapped-compliant, like you can wheel a wheelchair in it. It was very well put together. The studio apartment had a bathroom that was the same as the other one. The room was large enough that they could have a small bed and then some living room furniture. It had a fridge and a microwave in it. The closet was fairly large as well. The staff member was wonderful. She did an excellent job. She said that they have a chef who prepares the food, so it's all cooked right there. They serve three meals a day. She said that lunch is like the bigger meal, and then they have larger meals at dinner time. The facility was spotless."

"My mom is in Providence Assisted Living. We chose it after looking at the online reviews and the location (since it's close to where we live). It's a caring place. It used to be family-owned until, they bottomed out. They still got the same people working there. They take pride in what they do, and the people that run the place are all very caring. The best thing about the place is basically the staff that works there. There's nothing bad that I can say about their level of care. They treat each other like family. They do bingo, and they've got a church service that they do. They've got a salon that's in there. They do different things on holidays too, although some of the stuff had been completely bagged because of COVID. Some of them they aren't doing right now, but they're planning on starting them back fairly quick. The facility is not brand new, but it's in really good condition."

"StoneBridge of Russellville wasn't just one large centralized building. There were series of buildings and the facilities were nice and clean. I just didn't get the community feeling there, maybe because the several individual units were spread out and not connected. They had amenities like a beauty shop, barbers station, and a nurse or medical personnel on duty 24 hours a day. I understand that they recently changed hands just two years ago, so the staff seemed to be new and I'm sure they know what they're doing, but I wasn't just comfortable with how young the staff was."

"Home Place is a great choice for anyone considering an assisted living facility. I had a close personal friend that chose assisted living because it came him the security of knowing that he would have help when he needed it, yet still have plenty of freedom to enjoy going out into the community. After visiting and researching several facilities he chose Home Place because of the friendly staff and the nice rooms they have to offer. After moving in, he was very impressed with the wonderful meals that they offered. He was always bragging about the staff and how helpful they were while still allowing him to have his freedom. Every time I would visit, a member of the staff was always sitting with him listening to him reminisce and looking at pictures. While I'm sure they had heard the same stories and same pictures a hundred times, they were always so friendly and willing to listen and look one more time. "
