Since 1961,
Methodist Village Senior Living
has been proud to serve as Fort Smith’s
only local, faith-based, non-profit organization dedicated solely to enhancing
quality of care and life for our elder population in the River Valley.
Our Life Plan Community merges active senior
living and planning for the future. It
is an environment that offers senior adults a lifestyle with amenities and
living options based on their life needs, in a continuum of care ranging from
independent to assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing care.
Methodist Village Senior Living’s mission is to provide wonderful life experiences that enable our residents and their families to lead full and enriching lives.
Our
vision is to exceed the expectations of our residents and families while inspiring hearts and minds.
Our Care Center provides 24-hour nursing care in a home-like
environment for long-term residents that can no longer live independently. We also provide health and rehabilitation
programs for long and short-term occupational, physical and speech therapies,
post-surgical and post-hospital care.
Methodist Village Senior Living’s Independent
Living offers freedom of an active independent lifestyle with the security of a
supportive environment. We are
conveniently located near restaurants, grocery, shopping, and medical
care. We offer transportation for weekly
grocery shopping and our staff is available from 8am-4pm and security
12am-8pm. Our one-bedroom apartments are
596 square feet with full kitchens, and free on-site laundry facilities. Our social activities include game day, Bible
study, exercise programs, and group outings.
Methodist
Village Senior Living will open our Assisted Living in spring 2019. Our Assisted Living will be a level 2
community. We will provide services that
directly help a resident with certain routines, activities of daily living, and
assistance with medications. We will
offer an array of apartment styles – studio, small one bedroom, medium one
bedroom, large one bedroom, and two-bedroom.
Our amenities will include a multi-treatment center (General
Practitioner, Dentist, Optometrist, and Podiatrist), restaurant style dining
with three wholesome and balanced meals, free laundry facilities, barber/beauty
shop, Razorback game room, exercise club, chapel/theater room with large
screen, grand piano, social activities, outdoor courtyards, and much more.
In 2016 Methodist Village Senior Living announced the $50
million redevelopment of our campus to become a “Life Plan Community". A Life Plan Community merges active senior
living and planning for the future. It
is an environment that offers senior adults a lifestyle with amenities and
living options based on their life needs, in a continuum of care ranging from
independent to assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing care. The new community will be constructed in
phases on our existing thirty-acre beautiful location in the heart of Fort
Smith, Arkansas.
Phase I – A 26-residence Assisted Living Center and a
19-residence Memory Care Center (Certified Alzheimer’s Special Care Unit), with
a wide range of amenities, including a chapel, gathering and social spaces,
multi-use medical treatment center, restaurant-style dining options and a
wellness center.
Phase II – Exterior renovations of our current Care Center, which
has not been updated since 1962, and the construction of a new stand-alone,
short-term rehabilitation center with a projected 30-bed capacity.
Phase III – Independent Living Cottages, featuring a variety
of accommodations, opportunities and size.
Groundbreaking for Phase I of our Life Plan Community was
held in November 2017 and expected to be completed in early 2019. In December of 2018 we completed a
significant milestone in fundraising efforts by having raised $4.130 million,
including achievement of a challenge grant from the J.E. and L.E. Mabee
Foundation. The total raised came from
over 100 individual, corporate and foundation donors.
We are currently moving into planning and fundraising for
Phase II.
