Overview of Grace Ridge

Grace Ridge, Inc. operates a 35-bed residential care facility located at 3909 Hill Drive in Jonesboro, Craighead County, Arkansas. Administered by Dian Carlton and legally operated by RCF Network, LLC d/b/a Rosehaven Homes, Inc., the single-story community houses residents in private beds within a car-dependent neighborhood 4.5 miles from downtown (Walk Score 21). The facility carries LLC business designation and maintains dual licensing for assisted living and memory care residential services.

Round-the-clock staffing includes licensed nursing personnel and certified nursing assistants supporting both care lines. Service delivery encompasses rehabilitation services, respite care programming, short-term rehabilitation options, on-site dining with wellness-focused nutrition planning, housekeeping coordination, beauty services, and structured social and recreational activities. The facility’s 35-bed capacity serves residents requiring personal care assistance, medication management, and memory support in a family-style residential model.

All beds carry private-pay designation; however, several Arkansas Medicaid waiver programs, including the Living Choices Assisted Living Waiver, ARChoices program, and State Plan Personal Care services, offer eligible residents pathways to fund care through public programs.

The facility’s operational alignment with Rosehaven Homes, Inc. indicates membership in a multi-location residential care network, potentially enabling care coordination or transfer protocols across affiliated locations.

Grace Ridge, Inc. serves older adults seeking residential assistance with activities of daily living, memory support, and rehabilitation services in a private-pay or Medicaid-waiver-eligible community staffed around the clock with nursing oversight.

Overview of The Plaza at Twin Rivers

The Plaza at Twin Rivers is a 55-bed assisted living and memory care facility at 3007 Twin Rivers Drive in Arkadelphia, Clark County, Arkansas. Owned and operated as an LLC and administered by Tamara Pollard Rocole, it is licensed by the Arkansas Department of Human Services as an Assisted Living Facility Level II and accepts Medicaid and Medicare for applicable services. Pricing starts at around $3,490 monthly, below Arkadelphia average. The facility holds an A+ BBB rating and a walk score of 75, one of the highest in this region for a senior living community. Most daily errands are walkable from Twin Rivers Drive, with Arkadelphia Diagnostic Clinic 0.1 miles away.

The Plaza occupies a setting in Ouachita Mountains’ scenic foothills, near the Caddo and Ouachita Rivers confluence. Its defining feature as a care option is its campus relationship with Twin Rivers Health and Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center steps away from the same property. Facility residents needing higher level clinical support, or whose spouses require skilled nursing care, can transition to the adjoining SNF without leaving the campus, creating a continuous care solution across assisted living and skilled nursing without displacement. This on-campus continuum is rare in a community of Arkadelphia’s size. The care model is built around 24/7 nursing coverage with licensed nurses and CNAs, a doctor on staff, medication assistance, personal care support, and supervised health programming. Residents choose from single-level apartments and single-occupancy rooms across a range of floor plans, with the philosophy of preserving independence as long as possible while care is available on demand. Memory care services are also confirmed. Respite and short-term rehabilitation stays are likewise accommodated. Three meals plus snacks are provided daily. A notable community differentiator is the outpatient rehabilitation program, which extends therapy services to non-residents from the surrounding Arkadelphia area, an indicator of the campus’ clinical infrastructure and community integration. This outpatient access also means therapy services are immediately available to Plaza residents without off-site transport.

The Plaza at Twin Rivers suits Clark County seniors wanting assisted living or memory care in a walkable, scenic setting with a direct continuum pathway to skilled nursing on the same campus. It is a particularly well-positioned option for couples at different levels of care needs, or for residents expecting their care requirements to evolve over time.

Does Arkansas Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Arkansas Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Arkansas?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered.
