Independent Living Communities in Little Rock, AR

"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."

"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."

"We have chosen Fox Ridge Bryant. The level of services and the quality of staffing are the reasons why we chose them for my parents. We have friends who are there. We also talked about some of the activities, but we didn't observe them during our visit. The sizes of the rooms seem to be comparable to other facilities that we visited. They are undergoing some renovations, and so that was exciting to see what that's going to be. The common spaces were also equally comparable. They were comfortable, and the outdoor spaces were very nice, so it was good. We didn't get to see all of it because they were under construction to no fault of their own. They had a water pipe that had burst, so a section of their building was blocked off. We didn't get to see everything, but the owner seemed to be attentive to the facilities and was already adding some additional furniture and things. While we were there, we saw that happening."

"We live in Mt. Carmel Community. What we like the most about this place is the people. They are very nice, very cordial, and professional at the same time. Our apartment is nice. We've got our furniture in it and it's home-like here in our apartment, and we overlook the courtyard. Everyone has a big window in their room. The upkeep is very well done. It may take a while on some of it because it's a big community, but it's very well done when they do it. It depends on how important it is. Like hanging pictures is not as important as a bed sliding to one side. So, they prioritize it by importance. The food is delicious and they bend over backwards for you. The dining area is very nice. It's like a nice luxury hotel dining area. There's bingo, crafts, and going out to lunch. On Thursday, they're taking us out to Olive Garden. Something is going on all the time. The only day we don't have something this week is Friday."

"We toured Ridgemere today and what an absolutely beautiful facility! We met with Brandy who has the kindest heart, was through and went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed. As we were on our tour all the staff and residents that we passed stopped and talked with us. They were all so friendly. The facility is clean, well maintained and it smelled amazing. We are looking for my mother and we will be back with her so she can tour. I cant think of any other place I would want my mom to live."

"I toured Woodland Heights. The staff was very friendly. The facility was clean, and it looks like they care a lot about people. They have a lot of activities that they do with the elderly that keep their mind fresh."

"Good Shepherd Retirement Community had these cottages, which I wanted to get into, so I went to look at their independent living. They were individual little houses that could house 1 or 2 people. I just met the staff who are in the office, and they are very good. I saw some residents doing exercises and they have a movie day on Tuesday. They also have a bus to take them to different stores."

"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. "

"My aunt lived at The Blake at Chenal Valley, which is on Rahling Road. It's assisted living, and it's new. It is a spectacular place, the food is good, and the rooms are just phenomenal. The facility is just really grand. They have some independent cottages that have two-car garages. They don't have many independent houses, but their assisted living is just huge. It's a big, beautiful building on top of a hill. Their rooms are nice, and it's all brand-new. They have stuff going on all the time for the people who live there. My aunt had cancer, and I know that they would take her to her doctor visits because my cousin lived out of town. She loved living there. She was sick, so she was limited to what she could do, but she loved being around people, so she would play cards and board games every day with people. They treated her very well."

"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. "

"Parkstone Place was a nice community. The room I saw was very nice. They have pull-cords for emergencies, and they're spacious and nice. Their dining room was nice, they have a library, and they have activities. I met the activities director but didn't see them doing any activities. They also have a beauty shop and transportation for the residents. The staff member who gave me the tour was helpful, nice, personable, and very accommodating. It's a very clean place."

"I moved into the Retirement Center of Arkansas. It's great, it's one house, I like it, they take care of all my needs, and they treat me good. The employees are great, I get along with them good. I'm in a private room right now because I'm in quarantine. It's an older place, but it's kept up really well. I get three meals a day, and the food is good, it's a good variety."

"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."
