Chenal Pines Retirement Resort in Little Rock, Arkansas, operates as an independent living community for older adults who can perform most daily tasks on their own but want a supportive environment close at hand. Residents live in private apartments and retain control over their schedules, choosing services on an as-needed basis rather than relying on around-the-clock personal care.
The community’s on-site medication management program covers prescription ordering, secure storage, reminders, and administration according to each resident’s physician orders. Trained staff are available 24/7 for wellness checks, urgent assistance, and coordination with outside home health or therapy providers. Scheduled transportation to medical appointments further supports residents who wish to remain independent while staying on top of their healthcare needs.
Apartments at this assisted-living facility vary in size and layout; some include wheelchair-accessible showers, balconies or patios, in-unit Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV hookups, and access to a central fireplace or outdoor deck. The property is pet-friendly, parking is available, and select units are fully handicap accessible from entry to bathroom. Outdoor areas provide space to walk a pet or enjoy fresh air. Because floor plans differ, not every residence includes every feature listed, so it is important to verify specific amenities during a tour.
Dining is offered three times daily in a restaurant-style venue under the supervision of a professional chef. Residents can choose vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, or other physician-directed options, and guest meals are available for visiting family members. An all-day dining program means residents can eat outside standard meal periods without sacrificing variety or nutritional balance.
The activity calendar features an activity center, library and computer lounge, yoga and chair yoga classes, fitness programs, happy hours, live music, dances, birthday celebrations, intergenerational events, and regular social outings. Outdoor spaces are open to residents who prefer fresh air between programs. Together, these services provide structured opportunities for exercise, learning, and social connection while allowing residents to choose how to spend their time.
