About The Green House Cottages of Homewood

+
Nestled in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains, The Green House Cottages of Homewood offers a refreshing alternative to traditional skilled nursing care in Mena, Arkansas. Rather than a large institutional facility, this community is built around the nationally recognized Green House model — small, household-style cottages designed to feel like real homes, where residents live alongside a consistent team of caregivers in a warm, dignified environment. Located at 215 Homewood Circle, the cottages sit within easy reach of everything Mena has to offer. Families visiting loved ones can take in the breathtaking scenery of the Talimena Scenic Drive, one of Arkansas's most celebrated byways, or spend an afternoon at Queen Wilhelmina State Park atop Rich Mountain — just a short drive away. The charming downtown Mena square, with its local shops and eateries, gives the surrounding community a genuine small-town character that residents and families alike appreciate. For medical coordination and peace of mind, Mena Regional Health System is the area's primary hospital, providing acute care services close to home. This proximity is especially valuable for skilled nursing residents who may require specialist visits or hospital-level coordination as part of their ongoing care plans. At The Green House Cottages of Homewood, skilled nursing services are delivered with clinical excellence and deep personal attention. Residents receive 24-hour nursing care, rehabilitation support, and assistance with daily activities — all within a household of ten or fewer elders, so staff truly know each person as an individual. Shared meals are cooked in an open kitchen, residents set their own daily routines, and meaningful relationships form naturally in this close-knit setting. Managed by Southern Administrative Services, the community benefits from an experienced operations team committed to quality outcomes and resident-centered care across their Arkansas portfolio. Southern Administrative Services brings proven administrative infrastructure while supporting the Green House philosophy that every elder deserves to live a full and meaningful life.
