Overview of The Green House Cottages of Wentworth Place

The Green House Cottages of Wentworth Place is a 135-bed skilled nursing and assisted living community that has been operating since 2009 under Wentworth, LLC. The campus uses a non-traditional model of care, dividing its beds across six single-story cottages where small groups of residents live in private rooms with private bathrooms. Financial coverage is handled through standard Medicare and Medicaid programs. Located about two miles from the local downtown core, the property sits in a car-dependent suburban area that requires a vehicle for daily commuting and running errands.

Daily schedules show that certified nurse aides provide an average of 3 hours and 31 minutes of direct care per resident each day, while registered nurses contribute 34 minutes of coverage. The floor staff holds certifications in senior care, nutrition, and dementia management to support a philosophy centered on resident autonomy, allowing individuals to set their own daily schedules.

The campus also provides integrated transportation services alongside routine fitness and recreation programs. From an oversight perspective, state health records reflect an operational baseline built around small-group households instead of conventional institutional units.

Families evaluating area nursing alternatives or relationship-based long-term care models can utilize these public operational profiles to check out the property’s background. The public documentation details a multi-cottage layout backed by steady nurse aide hours and an autonomous resident framework, without the physical setup of a standard institutional nursing ward.

Does Arkansas Medicaid cover memory care?

Arkansas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
