What we really like about The Bungalows at Fayetteville is the friendliness of the staff and the strong focus of team work they have. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would definitely recommend this community to other families.
Village on the Park Bentonville was the absolute Best Place for My Mom. We visited every assisted living place in Rogers and Bentonville . Village on the Park was heads above every place else. We first visited places unannounced to get the Real picture. Village on the Park was clean, had professional and caring people, excellent and nutritious meals and a nice assortment of programs and social activities . They even make sure my mom and now my dad get to their doctors appointments in their wheelchair accessible bus. Village on the Park Bentonville has an outstanding staff that truly care about their residents. My mom has been there for 3 months and my dad 1 month. After caring for them for 18 months it gives my heart such peace to see them getting their emotional , physical, spiritual and social needs met by the amazing team at Village On the Park who work in unison from the top down to create a wonderful place to live.
My loved one is a resident at Cedar Springs and most everything has been great. However, it's always hard to get someone from the office on the phone. I feel like calls need to route to someone even if no one is physically at the office.
