The Meadows Independent & Assisted Living Community

The Meadows is an independent and assisted living community in Bentonville, Arkansas, offering both levels of care in a single-story, family-owned facility. Founded in 2007 by Dr. Warren Bathke and his wife Gladys, the community houses 64 comfortable apartments and suites for residents 55 and older and is State Licensed Level II Assisted Living.

The community provides assisted living services for residents who need help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, with 24/7 access to care from nursing and housekeeping staff. A registered nurse is on duty around the clock. Staff members are Certified Nursing Assistants rather than simply hired caregivers, and the community emphasizes in-depth training programs developed by the Institute for Professional Care Education.

Residents can participate in a wide range of social, fitness, culinary, and wellness activities designed to enrich life and enhance wellness. The community serves meals on-site, with residents often looking forward to dining there even after time away from the facility.

As a locally family-owned and operated community—not part of a larger corporation—The Meadows prioritizes individual resident needs and preferences. The facility is described as a comfortable, warm atmosphere where residents can enjoy freedom while having access to services and amenities within their own neighborhood, representing a continuum of care as residents age.
