Four Seasons

Who can live at Four Seasons under Arkansas's Level II rules?

As a Level II building, Four Seasons can keep residents whose needs reach nursing home level of care, can have licensed nursing staff give medications, and must have a registered nurse on staff or under contract.

What Level II does not change is the hard limit in the rules: a resident who needs round-the-clock nursing, becomes bedridden or cannot be evacuated with the staff on hand has to move.

How big is Four Seasons compared with other Saline County assisted living?

With 50 licensed beds, Four Seasons is the number 5 of 6 assisted living facilities in Saline County by bed count and holds about 9% of the county's 527 licensed assisted living beds; across the six-county metro it ranks 27 of 31.

Closest to Four Seasons in size across the six counties:

Bed counts are capacity, not current occupancy; the state publishes no occupancy figure for assisted living, so ask Four Seasons how many apartments are filled today.

What history does Arkansas record for Four Seasons?

The state's record for Four Seasons notes: Formerly Four Seasons Residential Care Center; converted from an RCF to ALF Level II October 3, 2013; the book notes a 68-bed permit (file 1433) terminated 12/15/22-1/23/23 and not appealed.

Name changes in the record generally follow sales or management changes. On a visit, ask when the current operator took over and whether rates, staffing or policies changed with it.

It began as a residential care facility and converted to assisted living, which was common in Arkansas after 2007. Ask whether every unit now meets the apartment standards or whether some older rooms remain.

How does Saline County's assisted living supply compare with demand?

Saline County has 527 licensed assisted living and residential care beds against a projected 2031 need of 858, so the state's own planning numbers show a gap of about 331 beds; Four Seasons's 50 beds are part of that supply.

How far is Four Seasons from a hospital?

The Bed Need Book places Four Seasons in Saline County but does not name the town or street, so we do not estimate distances; the county seat is Benton.

DHS's online facility search shows the address of any licensed building; ask the administrator which hospital residents use.

Does Four Seasons take Living Choices?

Possibly: as a Level II building, Four Seasons is the kind of setting where Arkansas's Living Choices Assisted Living waiver can pay for care services for an eligible resident, but only if the building participates, and the waiver never pays rent or meals.

What questions fit Four Seasons specifically?

Bring these to the visit: ask whether Four Seasons has an Alzheimer's special care unit; if it does, Arkansas requires a written disclosure statement describing the unit's care before admission.

• Ask who the registered nurse is, how many hours a week the RN is in the building, and how many aides and licensed nurses work each shift, especially overnight.
• Ask who the current operator is and when it took over.
• Ask to see Four Seasons's most recent Office of Long Term Care survey and plan of correction.
