The Best Independent Living Communities in Crittenden County, AR

"My friend is at Germantown Plantation Senior Living Community. It's good and very nice. She has a one-bedroom apartment. It's very spacious, it has a patio, and she's happy with it. She can come and go as she wants. They have a lot of activities. People even come in and entertain. They have group things even at night where they will have a special. They have movies almost every night. They have a movie theater, which is comfortable. They have an indoor swimming pool, too. And they have good dining rooms. The food is very good. She loves it out there. She is getting to meet people a lot better than she did before. The place is very clean. There may be a small price for laundry, but housekeeping is included in the rent. And they give out her medication for a small extra fee, which is fine with me. The staff is very good. If my friend has an accident or anything, they come right away. I brought her home the other day and she didn't feel good. I got hold of a nurse, she came quickly and she took care of her. It is very, very good. They have their own doctor on staff. If she has any problems, that doctor would take care of it. If she needs blood work or if she needs an x-ray or something, they can do it there instead of going out someplace."

"I toured Heritage at Irene Woods. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about it. I just met one person on staff, but I noticed that, like others, as we were touring, the staff would call the residents by name and say, "How are you doing today, and do you need anything?". They were very attentive. It's a newer construction, and it's welcoming."

"I toured Sycamore Ridge Gracious Retirement Living. They were very nice. The rooms and the amenities were also nice. What I want right now is one where I can start in independent living because I can take care of myself right now. But I'd like to know that I could step down to the assisted living when I need to. There was not any step down there, and that is something that I didn't like about it. Other than that, I was impressed with it. It was clean. The staff member who took us on the tour was very nice. We had a meal there and it was very good and very healthy. It would make me be healthy. They said you have the option of choosing your dessert, and I ordered a lemon square, and it was only about an inch on each side. I know that they're trying to do what's healthy for you. It was very well prepared and I would approve of that."

"My mom and dad are currently transitioning at StoryPoint Collierville. They're in independent and they have started to add care packages and they're starting the discussion to go into some more enhanced. What I like best is I find the staff very helpful and they've been very good about helping us transition as we have different needs pop up. My parents have been here for over two years and I've just always had great experiences. I really like that it's not just that they provide excellent services, they genuinely care about my parents, going the extra mile to make sure they're cared for. My mom just got out of the hospital and missed dinnertime and the head of the whole facility here saw me come in and said, "Hey, does she need dinner?" and personally brought it up to her. I just thought that was so loving. That's not the first time that those kinds of incidents have happened. I've eaten here several times, and I've always enjoyed the meals with my parents. Housekeeping is good. Everything is nice and clean. I've seen my parents put in work orders and the response is well. They celebrate birthdays and they have fun activities. They have movie times that they've gone to. My mom has gone to this one event that has challenging games like trivia and stuff like that. They've had special brunches for families. We were able to rent the facility out for my daughter's baby shower, so that was a really nice option that we could use the facility for that. I really feel like this is really good value for the money that you pay. It's not overly expensive."

"I moved to King's Reserve Memphis. It's a great community and the people are great. They have a dining room and a pantry. They have "wine down" where you can eat, drink wine, and gather with people to talk. They have bingo. They also have a dog park. They offer aerobics classes with equipment that you can use for riding and lifting weights. They have a beauty salon and a person who plants flowers with whom you can work. Additionally, they have a vegetable garden here. They provide a balcony. The staff is friendly, helpful, and wonderful. They know how to treat all the people there with respect, especially older people, and you can feel the love. I cook my own food, and they have a pantry every Tuesday where you can go and pick up food to bring back to your apartment. They also have an elevator. Even though I'm paying more for this apartment than I was paying for the other one, it's still worth it, because when you enter downstairs it feels like you're walking into a hotel instead of a senior citizen's apartment."

"When I went into St. Peter Manor, everybody seems to be really polite. The facility was clean. The staff I talked to was very cool and very helpful."

"Overall, The Parkview was nice, organized, and well-kept. The rooms were OK. They have a lot of things to offer. We were fairly pleased. The staff member who gave me the tour was nice. Anything that I had concerns about she was able to answer. They play card games and go on field trips."

"Trezevant Manor was very well maintained, and the patients there were very well taken care of. You had to have a lot of finances to get in, but for the most part, it was very beautiful. They had amenities like a gym, an exercise room, and a pool, and they had several things on the ground to make the patients' busy. However, I would say if there was any way possible to make it a little bit more affordable for people that had average income instead of high income. I thought this particular retirement home was for people with a three-digit salary. I thought if they would reviewed the average of retirement people and their income and made it somewhat affordable to them, it would be a big help for people who really wanted to go into those types of places. "

"I moved to Luther Towers, and so far, it's been fine. I like the people and the management; they've been good to me. I don’t have any problems with my apartment. They have activities, but I haven’t yet attended to any of them. The staff is friendly and helpful as well as the other residents. The place is cleaned every day. "

"My mother law lives in this facility, and it is centralized located within a great radius of my home. This facility is very well maintained and offers great independence to seniors that only need limited assistance with their daily activities. It sports a home like environment and the staff is very efficient and supportive. There are plenty of personal amenities as well as a host of daily actives. My mother law states that it's the next best place to being home. The staff exhibits great concern for the residents keeps the family updated on all health issues. "

"Opus East Memphis was very expensive, but it's a very nice place. My godmother was in there. The staff was very helpful. They had very good food. Her room was beautiful. She had a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. It was very well kept always. They always had something to do. They had bingo and birthday parties. They celebrate all the holidays with activities."

"Embassy Apartments was really nice. It was a gated senior's apartment, so it was pretty secure since they also watch out for each other. The lady who showed me around was polite. She showed me both their one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The one-bedroom was small and did not have enough closet space. They had a laundry room, TV room, and receiving room. I saw the dining area where they could have functions and the pool."
