The nurses, aids and physical therapist were absolutely amazing. In late June/early July 2026, our mother, with memory loss, stayed for 2 weeks post hospitalization for physical and occupational therapy to regain strength and walk again. Before selecting the facility, family toured the facility noting it was clean, smelled good, freshly remodeled, and basic modern room. We called the nurses and received daily updates. Family and PACE team visited anytime without issues. The nurses kept an eye on her so she wouldn’t hurt herself/fall. The team dealt with her repeated questions, demands and anxiety with love. Nurses would say that’s just illness, she’s okay. She really wanted attention and didn’t want to be alone and they accommodated her. They took care of her like she was their family. She returned home able to walk better than before she went to the hospital. So her daily physical and occupational therapy was successful. I think the food was okay, it might not be 5 star dining but she ate it all and sometimes had seconds. There were daily activities which she participated a few times. The team quickly eased our fears about an assisted living. My friend always said a good facility: clean, people care, free to visit anytime, how do the current resident like the place, do other family members visit, etc. This place checked all the boxes. We pray about everything and God delivered us to the right facility for our needs. The Springs at Barrow was great for our needs. We would feel comfortable using it again. She’s on PACE program so price was covered. We preferred The Barrow location over other facility in Little Rock plus it was closer to family to easily visit. In March 2026 prior to hospitalization, we a few several assisted living in Little Rock and it’s not many especially for memory care / accepts Medicaid, or affordable out of pocket. Places ranged 5K - 8K for low tier private double bed assisted living. There were negative reviews about The Springs at Barrow so we didn’t tour this facility. We are glad we checked it out for ourselves. If you’re looking for place for your elder it’s worth giving it a look.

My family and I have had an excellent experience at The Springs of John Barrow. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. The staff truly treats residents and families like their own. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and respectful, and it is clear that resident dignity and comfort are a priority. The facility is well organized and offers engaging daily activities for residents, including options that accommodate those with mobility limitations. I was especially impressed with the leadership. The Executive Administrator and Director were incredibly welcoming, supportive, and hands-on. They went out of their way to make my family feel comfortable and valued, and they welcomed my daughters as volunteers with open arms, treating them like family as well. The environment is clean, positive, and supportive, making it an excellent choice for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. I would highly recommend The Springs of John Barrow to any family seeking a facility that combines quality care with compassion and professionalism. Thank you to the entire team for the outstanding care and kindness you show every day. 💛

I was admitted here with ESRD in March 2025. They allowed me to develop a pressure ulcer on my foot and then lied to me about how it was doing. When a family member finally saw it I was rushed to the ER with gangrene against their wishes. This lead to an eventual foot amputation, and unfortunately it turned into calciphylaxis, which has literally killed me. I am writing this from hospice, in June 2025. Please don't go there, don't send a loved one there.

I have visited a few times. The home is always clean. The associates and nurses are always friendly. What I particularly liked about last night was when I entered tonight. I came in as a few visitors were leaving. The young lady noticed that and asked me very kindly about a couple of questions as a protection measure. I usually come in with a code. It made me feel the residents had an extra layer of protection. ❤️
