Exciting news from GoodLife as we embark on a journey to offer services in Arkansas!

This month, we’ve achieved several milestones in our journey to make a meaningful difference for individuals with disabilities and barriers to independence in Arkansas: we received our state license, met with the DHS Division of Disability Services (DDS), and began preparing our innovative Shared Living and Neighborhood Network models for the Arkansas market.

Our goal in expanding services is to bring the next generation of care to Arkansas by making affordable and inclusive supports accessible to everyone. We’re committed to building a strong caregiving workforce and finding new, better ways to deliver care in smaller, more inclusive living settings. It’s all about advancing the vision of CMS’s final rule and ensuring everyone gets the support they deserve. 

Looking ahead, we anticipate being under contract with two PASSEs (Provider-Led Arkansas Shared Savings Entities) and opening our waiting lists. PASSEs are a unique model in Arkansas that coordinates care for Medicaid clients, ensuring they receive comprehensive and person-centered services.

Stay tuned for more updates next month!
