Assisted living on Main Street

Moving in shouldn't mean moving out of town.

Most assisted living gets built on a cheap lot by the highway. Then everyone wonders why residents feel cut off. We did the opposite: we bought the old Wingfield Dry Goods building on Main, kept the brick, the tin ceilings and the big windows, and put sixty-four apartments inside.

Residents walk to the farmers market on Saturday, the library on Tuesday and the coffee shop every day. When they need help with a shower, a medication or a bad night, it's down the hall.

Sample family reviews

Residents and families. Out loud.

I didn't want a 'facility.' I wanted an apartment downtown with someone around if I fell. That's exactly what this is.
Margaret T.Resident since 2021
Dad walks to the coffee shop every morning and argues about the Razorbacks with the same three guys. He's happier than he's been in years.
Josh K.Son of a resident
No buy-in. Month to month. Every fee on one page. After touring four places, that alone sold us.
Rhonda S.Daughter of a resident
Beth caught Mom's urinary infection before it turned into a hospital stay. She called me the same afternoon.
Tanya W.Daughter of a resident
The college kids who come on Wednesdays fixed my iPad and taught me to video-call my grandson in Germany.
Walter H.Resident since 2022
My mother was a schoolteacher. Now she runs the book club across the street. She has homework again and loves it.
Celia R.Daughter of a resident
Chef Tamika makes Mom's pimento cheese from Mom's own recipe. Mom told everyone.
Kim B.Daughter of a resident
We moved in as a couple. My wife needs more help than I do, and the care plan is built for each of us separately.
Don and Patsy L.Residents since 2023
I live in Fayetteville. Lauren set up the movers, the furniture and the internet before I got there. I just showed up and hugged my mom.
