I lived here for 7 years
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.

Caring and friendly place
West Shores has had some issues with staffing. Their director of nursing left and they have a constant turnover of nurses and CNs. That causes instability of care. Also, their Administrator is not great at followup when issues are addressed. The nurses and CNs that have care for Mom have been wonderful. Very friendly and caring. My only challenge is the turnover and staffing issues. West Shores has a very caring team that helped make the transition from living at home easier. They have really nice rooms, friendly staff, great food and ways to socialize and make friends through lots of activities.

Wonderful Assisted Living Facility
Our two-bedroom apartment is well-designed and spacious. The nurses and other staff are friendly and attentive. Any problem that arises is taken care of quickly and effectively. Meals are usually quite good, and on special days (Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day, etc.) they are exceptional! There is a variety of activities for those who wish to participate. Since my wife and I are still mobile, we especially appreciate the weekly bus trips to eat out and visit museums and special sights such as Petit Jean Mountain, the Grant County Museum, Oaklawn Casino, Bathhouse Row, and others. We have been here for a year and a half, and we hope to be able to spend many more years enjoying the people and facilities at West Shores.

Like coming home
We have lived at West Shores for about a year. Its more like a small town than a senior living center. Every one knows your name and the staff is very friendly. The food is plentiful and tasty (chef is from a major hotel here). There are daily activities and trips several times weekly. The grounds are nice with plenty of white tailed deer and rabbits to watch. Come see for yourself!

West Shores review
I have very little to compare to...however the overall experience, the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff is very good. The quality of care is good as well, and the value for cost overall seems very good. Happy very fortunate we found the place. It was recommended to us by someone else. I made the decision to seek you out in five minutes. It was one of my better decisions. If I were to ask anything, it would be that the caretaker see to it that she walks, a substantial amount every day. She eats the proper foods. She is a type three diabetes and she loves sweets and sugar. She will lie about whether she ate that or not. Also, I would like for her to be forced to go to activities, bingo, cards, games ,whatever.

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.
