Wellington Woods Memory Care sits at 2201 Wellington Village Rd in Little Rock, designed for people over 55 with memory care needs, especially those with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory issues, and the place keeps things easy to get around with single-story halls and secure areas that help folks avoid getting lost or confused, and there's a smaller setting with only 20 beds and 16 memory care units, offering privacy for residents and a calm and homey atmosphere. Residents can choose from studio, single, or two-bedroom apartments and private or semi-private rooms, with the memory care studios running between $4,500 and $7,000 a month, and the place has a focus on safety with handicap accessible features, sprinkler systems, and a call system in each room, along with cable, internet, and phones at no extra cost, plus guest parking when family wants to visit. Staff trained in memory care is always there-day and night-to help with daily needs, like bathing, dressing, medication, walking, or getting in and out of wheelchairs, and they're careful with emotional support too, understanding exactly what residents with cognitive loss might need, and all those important chores like housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance get taken care of, so everyone can relax.
The nurses, therapists, and aides can handle incontinence, non-ambulatory care, wounds, and more complex situations, and there's a medical director on site, plus regular visits by podiatrists, dentists, optometrists, and hospice if that becomes necessary; folks who need occupational or physical therapy, or those who need speech help, can get that on a regular basis, right within the community. The meals are cooked onsite and served three times a day in a common dining area, with snacks and drinks available, and there are special diet choices for those who can't have much fat or salt. Activities run throughout the day, so residents can take part in memory games, group talks, arts and crafts, story time, and musical groups, or just join in for game nights in one of the activity rooms-there's also a gym, a salon and barbershop, outdoor patios and gardens, and a safe space for pets, with certain policies.
Wellington Woods makes each care plan specific to the person, adjusting as needs change, and there are therapies for the mind and the body, including music and art, group exercise, and one-on-one time, with staff trying to encourage independence and dignity while making sure folks feel part of this small community, not lost or overlooked, and encouraging visits from guests. There's religious services for those who want them, transportation to appointments, Wi-Fi for families to video call, and even home health workers who come in for extra support, and everything feels built for comfort and peace-no rushing, no loud crowds, and always someone ready to help. The whole place is licensed by the state, and insurance or check payments are accepted, and folks can get on the waitlist if they think this fits their needs. Wellington Woods Memory Care focuses on steady support, honest care, and a safe, engaging place to live for seniors facing the hard challenges that come with memory loss.
