The 8 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Little Rock, AR

Little Rock is the gem of the Deep South, and the city has made efforts over the years to be as senior-friendly as possible. Over 13% of Little Rock's 198,000 residents are seniors aged 65 and over, and many of the city's most prestigious medical centers, such as CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, have nationally recognized senior health centers to treat them. Little Rock is also a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, which means that the community's elected leadership has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city, county or state a great place to live for people of all ages.

Seniors in Little Rock have many public spaces to enjoy on their own or as part of a senior community. River Market, for example, features vintage film and book festivals, many of which offer senior discounts. Discount admission is also offered by several of the public facilities in MacArthur Park, including the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History.

Assisted living in Little Rock costs seniors an average of $3,975 a month, according to the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. This is significantly more than the $3,037 seniors pay as an average in the rest of Arkansas, though both prices are lower than the national average of $4,000.
