Elder Independence was founded in 1999 in Bryant, Arkansas in response to a growing need for quality in-home care for the elderly. We realize that most people want to live at home for as long as possible and many are not sure who to call or where to turn. Feedback was given from physicians, social workers, case managers and family members about the need to have an organization that they could trust to refer to their patients and relatives, and that would provide the needed services to allow them to continue to live at home. Elder Independence was founded to meet this need. We have developed a reputation among the healthcare community as a caring and dependable organization that will provide the highest quality care possible.

Our Mission: To improve the lives of seniors and help them live at home and maintain the independence and quality of life that they enjoy.

Our Belief: Elder Independence was founded based on Christian values and the belief that every life is valuable and should be treated with dignity and respect.
