I was here two years ago. I had extensive surgery, so I was there for long-term care. It’s beautiful. They made sure that the outside was just as nice as the inside. They just did a total uplift on everything. They redid all the flooring. It’s just a very, very nice place to go. The staff cared tremendously about the residents. For example, if your family calls up to see what you’ve done today, they can tell you exactly what the resident has done. Everybody’s hands-on.
The food was very good. For example, if you want fried eggs for breakfast instead of scrambled, they’ll do their best to give you fried eggs instead of scrambled eggs. They try and do your nutritional needs, but for things that you also like. It’s very well kept and very well run. If they’re lacking in one area, the staff picks up. They don’t just let one person do everything. They help each other when they need it. We had karaoke every other week, we played bingo, we had singers come in, we had weekly church services with two different churches that came in. Once a week, we would go shopping or go to the movies. You get what you pay for and then some out there. They could do more personal geared activities. If you don’t feel like going down to bingo or something, they could come up with a one-on-one type of activity.

I selected Lakewood for my post-operative care to make it easier for my family to visit. I was a resident for a little over a month following a series of abdominal surgeries.

My mother needed rehab for her hip, and she went to get it at The Green House Cottages of Poplar Grove in Little Rock. It was great, so I would recommend it to anybody. She was there for about three weeks. I would give them five stars.
They only have twelve patients in every cottage, and there’s a nurse in every cottage, not to mention the CNAs. Every time I called, they answered the phone. When I was on the phone with my mom and she called for them, they were always there quickly. They were attentive. In fact, if it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have known that she had cancer. They happened to go in when she was sleeping and noticed she was breathing funny. They alerted the RN, the RN went in there and checked her stats, and she noticed that they were low. They did an X-ray, sent her to the ER, and called us.
My mom never called me complaining about something, although she didn’t really like the food. Other than that, they were great. The Poplar Grove was amazing.
We weren’t allowed to go in, of course, because of COVID, but we did get to go to the window and see her. From what I could see from the window, it was clean. They weren’t big rooms, but she was in a room by herself. She had a TV and a dresser. I really can’t see much through the window, but it was nice.

They keep the facility well-cleaned. Someone comes in here every day to do the cleaning. I think it’s a little expensive, but all of them are.

On July 18, 2019 we had to make a decision that my mother had discussed with us in the past. She stated "never to put her in a nursing home". But my mother had a stroke and she required 24hr total care. My sister and I both work and we had no one to take care of her. So we decided we had no other choice but to put her in a nursing home. We called around an was told she would have to be put on a waiting list. We called Cottage Lane and was told theyhad beds. Of course we researched and checked reviews . Cottage Lane had some good reviews and some bad reviews. I prayed and asked the Lord to guide me on making this decision. Holy spirit told me not to worry about those reviews check it out for yourself. And I did just that. We decided to put mom at Cottage Lane. And I must say never judge a book by its cover. My mom had a stroke,loss her ability to talk an wasn’t moving at all. We was asked about possibly putting her on hospice. But God!! The staff and therapists are awesome. I can not thank the staff for all that they do and have done. She is moving both arms and speaking some words. Praise the Lord. The therapy team is amazing.

The staff members at the facility were really nice when I was greeted at the front entrance. One particular day I went to visit my great grandfather and his room was dirty and he needed some assistance. There was no one available for help, when called someone many times and we were told that they were short staff.
Therefore, I did take the time to assist him with his needs. I wasn’t really impressed with the service because no one stop by to see if he needed anything. The building needed some updating and there weren’t many areas around to take a shower because they were having plumbing problems. After all, I was just not impressed and I was afraid to leave because of the level of care that was provided. He didn’t need much help, but when needed someone should be available within a reasonable time frame.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in North Little Rock, AR
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used to pay for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
