Now: Prototype Phase

SLS Community is currently engaging in several initiatives in preparation for scaled operations in the South Cato Springs development, aligned with “live, work, play” themes.

Current Residential Prototype

STEWART PLACE HOME AND FARM

Located in West Fayetteville, Stewart Place is a micro-concept of larger projects. It is a residential model for a small number of neurodiverse residents that offers behavioral direct support services through Applied Behavioral Analysis and best practices in clinical management. These services emphasize nutrition and exercise as part of a broader focus on whole health, as well as life skills development. These residential treatment practices are in preparation for scaling to serve a much wider number of clients in South Cato Springs.

We seek to incrementally increase our capacity for neurodiverse residents prior to South Cato Springs. We do not current have any availabilities.

Certification
SLS Community is in the process of certification as a Medicaid waiver provider to provide home and community based services (HCBS) for neurodiverse adults as a necessary step for expansion.
The Council on Quality and Leadership awarded SLS the Quality Assurances certification in April 2024. The attainment of this national accreditation demonstrates alignment with internationally renowned standards in the human services field for responsive, person-centered supports and services. This accreditation is a pre-requisite and important milestone in our process of scaling through certification as a Medicaid waiver home and community-based service provider.
In June 2024, SLS became Arkansas’ newest Community Support System Provider. As a CSSP, we are certified to provide home and community-based services for Medicaid beneficiaries with behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) service needs. CSSPs are certified to deliver both outpatient behavioral health and Community and Employment Support (CES) Waiver services that are person-centered.
As we continue to build towards our vision of a live, work, play community in the future Cato Springs development, these certifications are important milestones in our process of scaling as a provider.
