Overview of Dalton’s Place at Star City

Dalton’s Place at Star City offers assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing care in Star City, Arkansas. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Having all three care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time. A change in care can happen without leaving the community. The setting may be a good fit for someone who wants private independent living, needs help with daily tasks, or requires round the clock nursing care.

The community has 53 beds, and Gena Loftin serves as administrator. Outpatient therapy provides rehabilitation without an inpatient stay, while care after a hospital stay or other acute treatment supports the transition back to daily life.

Medicaid is accepted. That matters for a resident whose savings may not cover a long stay. A Walk Score of 38 places the area in a car dependent setting, where most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Arkansas

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arkansas?

Assisted living in Arkansas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arkansas?

Assisted living in Arkansas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Arkansas Medicaid cover assisted living?

Arkansas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Arkansas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 153 assisted living facilities in Arkansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Arkansas?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arkansas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Arkansas?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
