Eagle Mountain Assisted Living

Eagle Mountain Assisted Living sits in Batesville, Arkansas, serving seniors who want to live as independently as they can, as well as those who have more special needs like dementia or require diabetic, non-ambulatory, and incontinence care, and there are also assisted living services for those who need help with things like bathing, dressing, or taking their medication. There are 46 one- and two-bedroom suites, with apartments available across a few different counties, and some have features like gazebos, nearby lakes, rivers, or senior centers, plus washer and dryer hookups with the landlord's approval, and the apartments have vision and hearing-impaired access, walk-in showers, or wheelchair accessibility, and each comes with a stove, fridge, smoke detector, fire extinguisher, water and trash pick-up, a storm door, emergency call switches, and separate heating and cooling. The all-electric apartments are licensed for people 62 and up who qualify under the income guidelines, and staff, including an administrator named Shelia Gates, help with everything from answering questions to providing information and referrals, doing building and grounds maintenance, and managing services like salon visits, personal laundry, weekly housekeeping, and flat linen laundry, plus scheduled local transportation for outings or appointments and daily planned activities so residents can stay connected and active. Residents get three chef-prepared meals each day, and special tray or guest meals and catering are also available. There are five common areas, each with a fireplace, indoor gathering spots, on-site and off-site activities, plus a community room in the main office building, and some apartments have cable, internet, air conditioning, separate heating, and newspaper delivery options. There's an on-site manager, an emergency call system, sprinkler and smoke detector systems, and common laundry in the central building, and the facility welcomes pets under its policy. The facility's healthcare services include help with special medical needs, and the level of care and associated fees depend on what each person needs, which the staff figures out through assessments before and after move-in, and then at least every three months. The White River Area Agency on Aging developed and manages Eagle Mountain Assisted Living, as well as several other HUD low-income senior housing locations, and the community's mission focuses on helping seniors live well with dignity, promoting a home-like setting, comfort, privacy, and engagement with a special attention to connecting residents and families with needed resources while encouraging staff teamwork and a passion for quality care in a nurturing, supportive place.
