Overview of Chambers Health and Rehabilitation

Chambers Health and Rehabilitation is a 90-bed care home on East Park Street in Carlisle, Arkansas, run by LonokeCo Ops, Inc and owner Michelle Moran. Right now, about half the beds are filled (52 percent occupancy), so they can take new residents pretty quickly. People stay here for an average of 208 days, meaning the daily routine on the floor is split between folks recovering from brief hospital stays and those who live there full-time.

Nurses and aides handle the day-to-day care, clocking an average of 4 hours and 42 minutes of hands-on time with each resident every day. This round-the-clock team covers clinical needs, short-term respite breaks for family caregivers, and rehab sessions in a therapy gym built with its own kitchen and bathroom to help people practice daily living skills. If you are coming to visit, keep in mind the area has a low walk score of 21, so you will definitely need a car to get around.

State inspectors visit the facility regularly to run health and safety surveys. This specific report does not show any major, recurring patterns of safety violations, but it is always smart to ask the director of nursing to show you their latest inspection paperwork when you go in for a tour.

Families exploring care options can call the admissions department to see what rooms are open and walk through the move-in forms. The business office handles billing through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and the kitchen staff can fill you in on their local Southern menu options.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

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.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 152 memory care communities in Arkansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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.
