The facility has served Northwest Arkansas seniors for 18 years and holds both Medicaid Waiver certification and an IPCed® Certification from the Institute for Professional Care Education, a distinction that reflects a formal commitment to advanced caregiver training.

The IPCed® certification is the facility’s most distinctive differentiator. Its approach uses an interactive and dynamic training mode, one proven to be more effective than traditional training, extending to the heart and mind to build a caregiving team committed to the best care possible. This investment in staff development, beyond the baseline Arkansas licensing requirements, is a meaningful signal for families evaluating care culture alongside regulatory compliance. The service model covers both independent and assisted living, with the ability to add services as resident needs evolve. All residents receive 24/7 licensed nursing staff, three meals daily, weekly housekeeping and linen service, washers and dryers on each floor, a wearable emergency call system, daily activities led by a full-time Enrichment Coordinator, all utilities including basic satellite TV, transportation coordination, and monthly wellness checks covering blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and weight. Assisted living residents can add medication administration, daily personal hygiene and dressing assistance, whirlpool bathing support, continence management, health maintenance monitoring, and personal laundry service. A financial management arrangement through Arvest Bank is also available. The amenity package is extensive for a Northwest Arkansas assisted living community of this size: free Wi-Fi throughout, security cameras at all entrances and hallways, common fireplace areas on two floors, a library, beauty salon, billiard room, snack room, therapeutic whirlpool baths, home-style laundry rooms, an activity and craft room with a family kitchen, and a spacious chapel with an adjacent multipurpose center. Fitness, culinary, and wellness activities are likewise woven into the daily programming. Pets are welcome with a $500 non-refundable deposit, provided the resident can fully care for the animal. Dining is described by residents as outstanding. The 28th Street location places the facility 0.8 miles from downtown Bentonville and is close to Northwest Medical Center and Mercy Hospital, giving families reassurance about access to acute care when needed. The Bentonville market, part of the high-growth NW Arkansas corridor, makes The Meadows Assisted Living, Inc., one of the larger independently operated assisted living communities in the region.
