The facility under Chanta Dedman’s administration serves the Big Rock Township neighborhood, licensed as an Assisted Living Facility Level II by the Arkansas Department of Human Services, Office of Long Term Care.
Catering to residents from active independent seniors to those requiring structured memory care, Woodland Heights’ amenity package is broad for its size. Amenities comprise a salon, spa, fitness center, pool, billiards room, library, chapel, covered parking, on-site laundry, additional storage, private bus transportation for the surrounding neighborhood’s walk score of 37, and multiple dining venues, including a private dining room for daily meals and special gatherings. Respite stays are handy for families seeking short-term care during caregiver transitions or recovery. Woodland Heights accepts residents through several Arkansas Medicaid assistance routes.
The Living Choices Assisted Living Waiver, designed for Level II assisted living facilities, may cover personal care, medication management, nursing, activities, and transportation for eligible residents aged 65 and older needing nursing home-level care. ARChoices and the PACE program offer additional avenues for qualified individuals, while the Arkansas State Plan Personal Care program is offered for eligible residents of all ages.
