Located on the campus of Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, Harding Place Retirement offers an independent living environment for older adults who want to maintain an active lifestyle while remaining connected to a supportive community. The community has been in operation for 29 years and is led by Executive Director Randy Reynolds.
Housing options include studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and deluxe one-bedroom floor plans, providing residents with several choices to match their preferences and space needs. Access to licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants is also available, offering an added layer of support without requiring a transition to a higher level of care.
A variety of social programs and activities encourage residents to stay engaged with neighbors and participate in community life. The campus setting places residents near a physician’s office and provides convenient access to Little Rock for appointments, shopping, and other outings.
The community is located in an area with a Walk Score of 37, meaning most errands are best completed by car. Its university-campus location gives the community a distinctive atmosphere that may appeal to older adults seeking both independence and connection.
