Overview of Rocking Chair Inn

Dianne Davis administers Rocking Chair Inn, a small, 15-bed assisted living facility located on West Stultz Road in Springdale, Arkansas. The residential home features a single-story layout, allowing residents to move between the bedrooms and the main dining space without stairs. The property accepts Medicaid payments, which help eligible seniors cover the cost of their daily room and board and personal care.

The community is situated in a quiet, rural pocket of the city. The surrounding area has a walkability score of 23 out of 100, meaning the location is car-dependent and visitors or staff will need a vehicle to run errands or travel outside the property. The small scale of the home allows the staff to focus on basic personal care assistance and routine meals in a less institutional environment.

Prospective residents checking out local assisted living options can call the house directly to check on bed availability and Medicaid guidelines.

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.
