Is assisted living near Brookdale Conway in short supply?
Faulkner County has 387 licensed assisted living and residential care beds against a projected 2031 need of 679, so the state's own planning numbers show a gap of about 292 beds; Brookdale Conway's 100 beds are part of that supply.
About 20,667 Faulkner County residents were 65 or older in mid-2025 (15.4% of the population), and 2,136 were 85 or older, by Census Bureau estimates. That works out to roughly 19 assisted living and residential care beds per 1,000 residents 65 and older. Tight supply mostly shows up as waiting lists for the most popular buildings and for Medicaid-participating Level II apartments.
