Independent Living Communities in Little Rock, AR

"Fox Ridge was very caring, and what stood out was they were very attentive to my father’s needs. I find it to be very clean, and they have great activities. The food was not five star, but it was good. I thought the common dining area was set up to really have the residents interact with one another. I’m very pleased with it. "

"My family and I thought that the facility was great. The staff was kind and considerate. In fact, one of my grandfather's physical therapists still sends my mother Christmas cards. The food wasn't particularly impressive though. And they wouldn't let my grandfather have all the coffee he wanted to have, which he didn't appreciate. But overall the place was clean, kind and appeared to be well run. The staff did a good job of explain to us his condition and allowing us time to ask questions. This was very important to us as nobody in my family is in the medical profession. When my grandfather passed away, he was in the assisted living home. The staff was very professional and considerate when letting us know that he had passed. I would recommend Fox Ridge to anyone interested in learning more about assisted living facilities. Most importantly, my grandfather passed away happy and comfortable. What more can you ask? "

"Mt. Carmel was a spread-out community on one level. They had an exercise room and laundry room. The food was good, and they had a salad bar. Everybody was caring. My loved one has a cat that she wanted to bring with her, and everybody said she could. "

"The appearance of Ridgemere was just impressive. It's a newer facility. It was bright and pretty. We had a scheduled appointment to see the rooms, and we were able to do that. The staff kindly showed us all through the facility. It was just very impressive and very clean. People walking around looked happy. They were playing dominoes in the breakroom. The restaurant was very impressive. It was a higher quality place than the other place, and the price wasn't all that different. They did have the memory care available, which my mother-in-law did not need yet. She's pretty independent right now, but she's 93 and they had different levels of care and that also was reflected in how much you paid, which is understandable. That was encouraging as far as if she should decline, that she would go to the next level of care. It was a happy place. You just had a good feeling when you walked in. I saw people with little pets, but it didn't smell like animals living there. We did meet a housekeeper and a beautician, but we didn't meet a lot of the staff. It was pretty much just the lady who gave us the tour and she was very kind and very informative. The menu itself was very impressive and they had daily specials plus a menu you could order off of if that wasn't your cup of tea. You can get it to go. You can sit in the restaurant or the dining facility. They have a little laundry facility and a beauty shop. It appears to have everything my mother-in-law might need. When you walked in, it just looked beautiful. They had it decorated for Christmas and such big, open, airy areas with lots of sun. She's on the waiting list. Everything is on ground level. There's nothing where she's got to take an elevator to get around or whatever. Everything was conveniently located."

"I toured Woodland Heights. They're remodeling some apartments that I might be interested in. It's a very pretty place. They've got friendly people. They have all the things that you would need. The only thing you have to pay for is your television service. I saw a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom. I'm going to look at two more next week. There will be two bedrooms, but they'll be larger than the one I looked at yesterday, at the same price. The staff was nice, very accommodating, and very friendly. They showed me the whole building and all that they have to offer. They have a library. They have a lady onsite that does exercise programs. They have a book club, two meals a day, and snacks, they have different get-togethers that you can participate in if you want to, and they have a happy hour before dinner in the evening. They have a religious service on Friday and Sunday. There are several things that you can participate in that are strictly up to you. It was very clean."

"I am a resident of Good Shepherd Retirement Community. I've lived here for the past five years. It's nice and it's close to stores and the hospital. My doctors' offices are near this place too. I can go to a bunch of different places out there, a bunch of different restaurants too. I like the people. They're young and really nice. They always provide interpreters for me, so it keeps me in the loop of what's going on and that helps me communicate with them better. They have an exercise room, a community center, a place to walk around, and places where we can park our car. I have a kitchen in my own place so I can cook instead of eating out. They have good activities here. There are several buildings in the independent living part. It's a really good place."

"My father stayed in this facility for a few weeks, until he found a better facility to live in. I did visit the facility on many occasions because I had to take my father to pay bills or go shopping. Therefore, I only seen the outside of the building on many occasions. The landscaping was nice and the area was very shady. On one particular day my dad told me to come inside and I went inside and the apartment definitely needed some updated. The bathroom was in very bad condition. And my father told me that when he needed something fixed nothing would take days. After all, he told me he was going to be moving soon, so I was excited because my dad had some health problems and needed to be staying in an assisted living environment that was up to code and that provided emergency help if needed. This facility was more of a really old outdated hotel. I didn't see any staff members on my visit, but my dad mentioned they were nice, but he was just not impressed with the services that was provided. "

"The Blake at Chenal Valley didn't have the assisted living that we could actually look at, but we looked at a two-bedroom independent living. It was excellent. It's a brand-new facility. Everything is new and very pristine. We want to go back and look at the assisted living, but we haven't had a chance to do that since my sister has been ill. We didn't really meet any staff. We just met with one of the property managers and she gave us the tour. She was just excellent. We went to a presentation at The Blake before we visited it. They served us lunch, and it was at a restaurant, so it was wonderful. If you were in assisted living, you got all your meals. The amenities depend on what kind of care you needed. They weren't finished with the construction."

"This is a wonderful facility, which I would go to visit my great-grandmother many times for visits. There is plenty of parking and the landscaping is really nice. Next, the inside of the building is fully secured. There is always a security staff member that works up front. The building is really nice with an antique look. The staff members are really nice. My great-grandmother lived on the 12th floor in a nice studio type of apartment. She had a kitchen, restroom, small living room area and area for her bedroom and other furniture. I was so impressed of how nice this elderly facility was. She was very independent, so she would cook for herself and clean her own room. And if she needed assistance you could ask someone for help by contacting the front desk. I think the great thing about the facility is that the rooms had smoke detectors, which was good because sometimes she would forget that she left something on the stove. Also, we would have family gatherings in the down stair banquet area. This area could be used at anytime you like. And there would be many activities held down stairs as well. I really impressed with this facility. "

"We found Parkstone Place because it is in the area where my family is. They were very friendly, it was clean and neat, and that was good. Those were my first impressions. My room has a small kitchen, a little eating area, a living room, a bedroom, and a bath. It is very adequate. We have an outside patio. The food is very good. It's healthy food. The staff is very helpful. All you have to do is ask. As for activities, they have exercise and bingo. We have a Christmas party today. They have an exercise room. They have exercise every morning on a DVD. They also have a beauty shop. I'm very happy here. I have just been here for two months. What stands out to me about this place is the friendliness of the people. "

"This is a great facility, I have a love one living in this facility. The staff members are always nice each time I visit. The outside environment is really nice and quiet; when I sit outside with my family member we always enjoy the nice patio area and the view as well. The inside of the facility is really nice with nice decorations. The rooms are really nice and spacious, which includes a large bathroom. My family member always tell me that are satisfied with the facility and they really enjoy living there. Also, the facility has living room areas that people can go and sit and talk with their friends/family members as well as watch television. I think this is really nice for my family member because they don't have to stay in their apartment all day. And the facility provides other activities as well to keep them busy and happy. And the facility is very safe and staff members are always available if needed. I think this is a great facility and the staff members are very caring. "

"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."

"I liked College Square for its affordable price. It’s a big community with all kinds of activities. My dad has been there for two months now. He’s a picky eater, but he’s OK with the food. He’s been particularly pleased with the staff. "
