As families search for assisted living, Arkansas should stand out for those seeking a mild climate, affordable living costs, and plenty of natural beauty and outdoor activities.
Arkansas — known as “The Natural State” for its abundance of lakes, rivers, and forests — sits in a geographical transition zone between the Deep South and the Midwest, and features the best of both regions. Winters are short without extreme cold, and the Ozarks stretch down into the state’s northern counties. Here you’ll find gems such as Eureka Springs, the artistic oasis in the hills surrounding Beaver Lake, along with Ozark National Forest and the Buffalo National River. But it’s the Ouachita Mountains and healing waters of Hot Springs National Park of central Arkansas that attract most of the state’s tourists. Arkansas is also home to the small but diverse cities of Fayetteville and Little Rock, both of which are college towns with enough options and activities to cater to anyone’s interests.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 35 senior living communities in Arkansas that provide assisted living.
The median monthly cost of assisted living in Arkansas is about $3,400.

I went with Brookdale Fort Smith because of the staff members. It is important when you first enter a facility how welcoming the staff are, it will tell you if they like their job and if they are good with people. That is what impressed me about this facility. The room sizes here are ok and I would recommend to others looking.
Read moreI would say to go talk to this community. They have a lot of entertainment and concerts where people come in and sing songs for the residents. They also have a Friday wine meeting, work out programs and more things to keep the residents active. They even have movie nights with old movies for the residents to watch
