The Hall's original Victorian house, with its wraparound porch and blue salvia along the front walk

Memory care in Fort Smith since 1958

Three generations of women have kept this house.

Rosalind Hall opened as a home for older women in 1958 and has cared only for people living with dementia since 1996. It is still family-owned, and still on the same shady corner in Belle Grove.

A house with a long memory

My grandmother believed a home should feel like a home.

Rosalind Delacroix opened the Hall in a brick house on this corner with six rooms and a piano. My mother added the two wings in the seventies, and in 1996, after my grandmother developed Alzheimer's herself, we turned the whole Hall into memory care so women and men like her would have somewhere gentle to live.

We still use her rules. Supper is served on real plates. Every resident is called by the name they prefer. And nobody, staff or family, is ever too busy to sit down for five minutes and listen.

— Patricia Delacroix Moore, owner and administrator

Each caregiver completes a 16-hour dementia course before working alone, and refreshes it every year.

Letters from our families

My grandmother lived at the Hall in 1975, and now my mother does. The roses are the same. So is the kindness.
Ellen B.Daughter of a resident
Mama set her own hair every morning for sixty years. They noticed she was fretting about it and started doing it for her at seven sharp.
Carla W.Daughter of a resident
When my husband got agitated, a caregiver asked him to help her fix a squeaky gate. He was an engineer at the Whirlpool plant. He was calm the rest of the day.
Barbara S.Wife of a resident
Patricia called me herself after Dad's fall. Not a form letter, not a voicemail. She'd already talked to his doctor.
Ron T.Son of a resident
I visit every afternoon at three for tea. Some days Mother knows me and some days she doesn't. Either way she pours my cup.
Juanita R.Daughter of a resident
