River Oaks Village Assisted Living, also known as Providence Assisted Living of Searcy, sits at 3014 E Moore Ave in Searcy, Arkansas, where you'll find independent living, assisted living, and memory care services all in one place, which is helpful for folks who want some choices about the kind of support they get as they get older or if their needs change over time, and the place has about 40 rooms with safety and disabled-friendly features, emergency call systems, and on-call maintenance, and they can be fully furnished if someone doesn't want to bring much with them, or folks can use their own things if they'd rather, though the rooms have all been renovated and look near new. River Oaks lets seniors keep living with their pets, either cats or dogs, and their staff say they treat every resident like family, which means they keep the place homelike and calm, aiming for everyone to feel at home and safe, and there's an enclosed courtyard where people can get fresh air without worry, plus garden areas, a spa, a steam room, and common indoor spaces for sitting together with other residents or for relaxation and games.
They've got an activity director full time who plans music therapy, tabletop games, movie nights, outdoor relaxation, trips out and field trips, and there's always social events or devotionals happening either onsite or through outings, which helps people stay active and a little more connected, and for those who want to exercise or need a hand with physical wellness, daily fitness programs are common, too, along with a book room and recreation areas for creative or quiet time. People who want independent living find River Oaks offers a more hassle-free way to have social time and group meals without the regular worry about house chores, since the staff help with meals, cleaning, transportation, and planning social calendars, and if someone needs more care or help-like with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, getting to appointments, or moving safely from a bed to a wheelchair-the assisted living staff can do all that, and they're around day and night.
Memory care is an option at River Oaks for people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, and those wings are set up to reduce confusion and keep wandering to a minimum, with staff who know how to help when memory gets hard, and skilled nursing covers pain management, diabetic care, and incontinence support if that's needed. They work with each resident about insulin shots or transfers from bed to wheelchair, as well as care for folks who need more help to stay comfortable, though the best way to know exactly what's possible is to ask the management. Meals come prepared three times a day, and those who need special diets-like lower-salt for high blood pressure or adjusted for diabetes-get their needs met by in-house chefs who focus on taste and nutrition, and everyone can enjoy guest meals when family wants to stop by.
Residents get transportation and parking help, speedy Wi-Fi, a beauty salon with a barber and stylist, landscaped grounds, and on-staff nurses, so the basics are covered, and staff are around 24 hours a day for emergencies or just a little extra help. Programs and community services focus on health and mental well-being, with staff focused on friendly, patient care that treats everyone with respect, so folks can choose between staying active and social or relaxing in quieter spaces, always with help nearby when it's needed. River Oaks aims to build a close-knit community where people feel like they belong, whether someone's living independently and just wants a convenient life without housework, or needs daily medical and personal support, and the smaller size keeps it feeling more like a family atmosphere than a big, busy place.
