Loving Management
I recently came to West Shores to move my mom in as she was being discharged and needed more care. The Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director were both very nice and helpful with the transition. Unfortunately, mom had to go back to rehab to get her strength, and we are looking forward to having mom a permanent resident at the community. The staff were nothing but nice, sweet and helpful.

Excellent pace to call home!
Where your loved ones are our loved ones! West Shores is not only an excellent place to call home but also an amazing place to work, our residents become an extension of our own families, and my heart grows along with every member that we add to our community. The activities here at West Shores range from a variety of games, trips and social activities you won't find anywhere else in Hot Springs. We take regular shopping trips to Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree so that any hygiene or snack needs can be met, also, pick a place that you would like to eat and the Activity Director will put it on the Calander for a lunch trip away with the neighbors. Come see us and ask for [name removed] to show you around our beautiful facility.

I enjoy West Shores.
I moved here with my husband and a few short months later he passed away. I decided to remain at West Shores because I did not want to be alone and to be with the people I call family now. West Shores is truly a place to call home. I am thankful for all the staff and residents.

Very nice place
I have enjoyed living at West Shores. The residents and staff have been very pleasant. I enjoy the many activities throughout the month. There is always something to get involved in. The garden here makes me feel at home and the area out front makes for opportunities to talk with residents in a nice space. My only concerns are the lack of provisions for people with special dietary needs (Ex. low sodium) and I have had some confusions with getting my medications.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Arkansas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Arkansas regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about West Shores

West Shores offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored West Shores 9.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
