The Green House Cottages of Wentworth Place

The Green House Cottages of Wentworth Place bring a fundamentally different approach to skilled nursing care to Magnolia, Arkansas. Located at 26 Warnock Springs Road, this community follows the nationally recognized Green House model—small, residential-scale homes designed to replace the institutional feel of traditional nursing facilities with a genuinely homelike environment. Managed by Southern Administrative Services, the cottages are built around the belief that elders deserve privacy, autonomy, and deep relationships with the care staff who support them. Each cottage houses a small group of residents in a true home setting with a shared kitchen, living areas, and private bedrooms and bathrooms. Certified nursing assistants—called Shahbazim in the Green House model—are cross-trained to handle nearly all aspects of daily care, cooking, and household activities, creating consistent, familiar relationships between caregivers and residents. Magnolia, the seat of Columbia County in southern Arkansas, is a vibrant small city with genuine community character. Southern Arkansas University (SAU) brings cultural life and educational energy to the area, and the beloved annual Magnolia Blossom Festival draws visitors from across the region each spring. Families visiting residents will find the historic Magnolia Square area charming, with local restaurants and shops nearby. Lake Columbia, a popular recreation area just outside the city, offers fishing, boating, and scenic outdoor spaces. For healthcare needs, Magnolia Regional Medical Center serves the community with inpatient and outpatient services, providing families confidence that clinical support is close at hand. Southern Administrative Services' management team brings operational expertise and a commitment to resident dignity that aligns naturally with the Green House model's values. For families who want skilled nursing care that feels nothing like a nursing home, The Green House Cottages of Wentworth Place represent one of the most distinctive care options in all of southern Arkansas.
