Guest House of Monticello
Guest House of Monticello provides assisted living in Monticello, AR. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management while a resident maintains a private living space, so the community may be a good fit for someone who needs this support.
The home has 40 beds in a single story building. Private beds are the available housing option, giving each resident an individual sleeping arrangement rather than a shared bed. The area has a Walk Score of 43 and is dependent on cars, so most errands require a car or a ride, which matters for a resident who no longer drives. Clara Cater serves as the administrator, and Forrest Pastimes operates the community.
