Bella Vista Village

Bella Vista Village sits in Arkansas and gives seniors a place to live that's more like a small town than a regular retirement home, with lots of things to do and see, including the scenic Tanyard Creek Waterfall Trail and the historic Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel, plus the Bella Vista Historical Museum, and right there next to it are seven lakes for fishing or quiet afternoons, and seven golf courses, like the Highlands, Berksdale, Scotsdale, Dogwood Hills, and the Bella Vista Country Club with its bent grass greens and gently rolling hills along Little Sugar Creek, which you can play on even without a private membership if you're a Bella Vista Property Owners Association guest, and they really keep the club running with the help of a PGA professional on site. The Bella Vista POA still manages the amenities and common services, so you see nice things like clean walking trails, tennis courts, parks, swimming pools, a clubhouse on Clubhouse Drive, an RV park, and campgrounds, and they handle water service and community common areas too, which keeps everything safe and tidy for everyone. People living at Bella Vista Village can choose assisted living or memory care, and they get help with things like medicines, bathing, dressing, transfers, plus daily activities are planned, and if folks need non-ambulatory care, there are services for that, with 24-hour supervision and an Emergency Alert System ready in case something goes wrong. The rooms come furnished and have their own bathrooms, with extras like Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, a phone, a kitchenette, and high-speed internet, and in the community spaces, you'll find a library, arts and crafts room, fitness room, a spa, a wellness room, a movie theater, activity rooms, game rooms, plus outdoor walking paths and common spaces where neighbors meet for events or just share good company. Residents have access to meals all day, including allergy-friendly and diabetes-friendly meal choices, with both breakfast and restaurant-style dining, and they get services for laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and help to move in, plus transportation and parking is available if folks need to get around or visitors come by. There are also important funds and support programs, with names like the Animal Welfare Fund, Beneficiary Voices Fund, Veterans & Military Assistance Fund, End Homelessness Fund, and Climate Change Fund, showing that they give back to the wider world while helping people on site. The Bella Vista Animal Shelter (BVAS) works as part of the community too, caring for more than 500 pets each year, finding homes, and teaching about responsible pet ownership. The Village calls itself a continuing care retirement community because residents can get different kinds of help as they need more or less care, and the Bella Vista Village-CC and Bella Vista Country Club-Country Club Course stand out as part of the whole experience, and with so much space for walking or mountain biking, nearly 100 miles of singletrack trails, plus the 40-mile Back 40 Trails and new paths being added, outdoor people find plenty to do. All in all, Bella Vista Village runs like a cross between a town and a retirement community, with its many programs and social groups, a full range of indoor and outdoor activities, and helpful services designed to give seniors a safe, active, and enjoyable place to call home.
