Assisted Living Communities in Searcy, AR

"My parents have moved into Providence Assisted Living of Searcy. The staff is good to them. They're very helpful. I like that they have two meals that they get there. There are plenty of community events for them to be involved with. There's like board games where they get together and play board games. That's the only thing I can think of right off the top of my head, but there are several of them. There's no swimming pool but there is a salon. They have ice cream socials fairly often. They have a soda fountain machine in there that they fire up once a month or so. As far as TV, they have DirectTV in all the rooms, so they have cable, and they can watch whatever they want to watch. There's an exercise room that has a couple of exercise bikes in it that is accessible. I've had a meal with my parents. It's very straightforward. They bring your meal out to your table and there are always different things to eat, and you can have a salad if you want. The dining area is a room with tables in it. It's pretty spacious. There's plenty of room if you need to move tables around. I don't have any criticisms of the place. I think they're doing a good job, and I appreciate that my parents are able to be there."

"Very rude when we went for a visit. Said we really needed an appointment to get a tour. When they found out we did not need Medicaid they seemed a little more excited. We are not choosing this facility. "

"My husband moved into StoneBridge of Cabot. It's good. My husband likes it. It's expensive like most of them are. His apartment has a bedroom, a sitting area, and a kitchenette. There is no cooking place, just a fridge. It has a TV and a huge walk-in closet. They take them out to Walmart. They have a courtyard. They provide three meals a day. They have special lunches and dinners for holidays. They do have some interaction."

"Crestview Senior Living was beautiful. Everything was brand new. The facilities were clean. It was just stunning, and it was big. The staff was good. They were friendly and accommodating. It just didn't fit our mom's needs. They had a nice physical therapy room that was close to the front door. They had a beautiful dining room that had a huge fireplace in it, as well as a huge flat- screen television. The tables and chairs were brand new. It looked like you were walking into a top restaurant. They also had a bar separate for those who wanted wine or beer or soda after hours or whatever, and they had staff on hand to do that, that was extra, but it was available to all the residents. They had a very large theater with a big movie screen and the seats like in a movie theater would come down, you could put your Coke or your drink there, and they would show really good movies that they thought people would like to see or people could request a particular movie. They had a beautiful outdoor area that had a barbecue pit, and they would encourage family members of the resident to come and partake and grill and have other family members there. They had a little dog section that if the residents chose to bring their animal there, they could walk it out in this little park and it had like a little tube that the dog could run through and stuff, which I thought was pretty cool. They had nice outdoor seating and stuff like that. They had a room and they had a hairstylist there, so you didn't have to leave the premises to get your hair done."
