West Shores

2607 Albert Pike in Hot Springs is the street address for West Shores, a community that offers both assisted living and independent living across 17 acres of landscaped grounds. A walking path on the property overlooks Lake Hamilton, and the community sits in Garland County just off U.S. 270.

Independent living residents keep a private apartment and a personal schedule, with meals, housekeeping and building maintenance handled by staff. Assisted living adds daily support such as bathing, dressing and medication reminders, with trained staff available around the clock. Studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are offered across both levels of care. A written plan spells out what is included at each stage and how it can change over time.

The activity calendar includes group exercise classes such as yoga, tai chi and stretching, plus the Dakim brain fitness program. Residents also gather at a prayer garden with a fountain and fire pit, an activity center with billiards and card tables, a library and a salon on site.

Sonida Senior Living operates West Shores. Anyone touring should ask how the two levels of care differ day to day, what activities fill a typical week, and what triggers a move from independent living into assisted living. The Request Information form on this page is the way to schedule a visit and see the apartments and grounds firsthand. Anyone planning a visit can also ask about current apartment availability and how long a typical move-in takes to arrange.
