A great retirement home
The facilities are great, the staff efficient and friendly and the food usually good. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. We visited several facilities before choosing West Shores and we have never regretted our choice. From the beginning it has truly been our home.

Wounderful Place!
I have toured this community, and it is beautiful. I really liked the garden and the activities that were going on. The dining room was very nice with tons to offer. When I came, I watched the residents decorate sugar cookies and loved how involved everyone was. I would recommend West Shores to anyone not just for the amenities but for the fun activities I witnessed.

If you cant live at home this is where you should be. My wife and I moved here on [date removed] she needed assisted care. The DON at the time helped a lot to get on long term insurance and assisted living accomplished. All of the employees are really good and have not seen anyone even act like they dont want to help when you ask them to do something.

My husband and I moved in here 7 years ago and we love to call West Shores home. We are allowed to feel independent while still getting the assistance that we need. I love leaving meals and playing the piano for our neighbors and guest as well as playing the piano for our church services on Sundays. If your looking for a good place to call home then this is it.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Arkansas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Arkansas regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about West Shores

West Shores offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored West Shores 9.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
