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.

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.
