The Meadows Assisted Living, Inc.

Overview of The Meadows Assisted Living, INC.

The Meadows Assisted Living, Inc., is an 81-bed independent and assisted living community administered by Ann Standley operating as a corporation under the Bathk Investments ownership entity at 2300 SE 28th Street in the Downtown Bentonville neighborhood of Bentonville, Benton County, Arkansas. The facility has served Northwest Arkansas seniors for 18 years and holds both Medicaid Waiver certification and an IPCed® Certification from the Institute for Professional Care Education, a distinction that reflects a formal commitment to advanced caregiver training. It’s a Gold Winner of the Best of NWA 2020 award and carries an A+ BBB rating. Minimum age for residency is 55. No buy-in or entry fee is required, and deposits are fully refundable with 30 days’ notice.

The IPCed® certification is the facility’s most distinctive differentiator. Its approach uses an interactive and dynamic training mode, one proven to be more effective than traditional training, extending to the heart and mind to build a caregiving team committed to the best care possible. This investment in staff development, beyond the baseline Arkansas licensing requirements, is a meaningful signal for families evaluating care culture alongside regulatory compliance. The service model covers both independent and assisted living, with the ability to add services as resident needs evolve. All residents receive 24/7 licensed nursing staff, three meals daily, weekly housekeeping and linen service, washers and dryers on each floor, a wearable emergency call system, daily activities led by a full-time Enrichment Coordinator, all utilities including basic satellite TV, transportation coordination, and monthly wellness checks covering blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and weight. Assisted living residents can add medication administration, daily personal hygiene and dressing assistance, whirlpool bathing support, continence management, health maintenance monitoring, and personal laundry service. A financial management arrangement through Arvest Bank is also available. The amenity package is extensive for a Northwest Arkansas assisted living community of this size: free Wi-Fi throughout, security cameras at all entrances and hallways, common fireplace areas on two floors, a library, beauty salon, billiard room, snack room, therapeutic whirlpool baths, home-style laundry rooms, an activity and craft room with a family kitchen, and a spacious chapel with an adjacent multipurpose center. Fitness, culinary, and wellness activities are likewise woven into the daily programming. Pets are welcome with a $500 non-refundable deposit, provided the resident can fully care for the animal. Dining is described by residents as outstanding. The 28th Street location places the facility 0.8 miles from downtown Bentonville and is close to Northwest Medical Center and Mercy Hospital, giving families reassurance about access to acute care when needed. The Bentonville market, part of the high-growth NW Arkansas corridor, makes The Meadows Assisted Living, Inc., one of the larger independently operated assisted living communities in the region.
.
Best for Benton County seniors aged 55 and older, the facility is for seekers of a well-established, independently operated community with above-average caregiver training standards, a full amenity set, and the flexibility to scale care services as needs change. Families should request the most recent AR DHS inspection report before placement given the facility is state-regulated.
