Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas announces the retirement of Terry Beck, Caseworker for Baxter and Carroll Counties. Terry has been a valued and dedicated member of our team for more than 14 years and we are deeply grateful for her years of service and commitment to our mission.

Terry began her journey with us as an Administrative Assistant in 2011, quickly demonstrating her commitment to service and excellence. In 2012, she expanded her role to include Caseworker, becoming an Administrative Assistant/Caseworker— a testament to her remarkable versatility and unwavering dedication to both clients and Personal Care Assistants. She began her role as a Program Coordinator in 2015 at the Baxter House-Adult Day Care program. She returned in 2016 as an Administrative Assistant/Caseworker and, in 2018, transitioned fully into the Caseworker role, continuing to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those she serves. Terry concluded her career by serving clients and Personal Care Assistants in Baxter and Carroll Counties, where her dedication has left a lasting legacy. Her work has touched countless lives and her presence will be deeply missed by coworkers, clients and Personal Care Assistants.

Terry and her husband, Tim reside in Mtn. Home. They have been married for 45 years this June. Terry enjoys spending time with her two daughters, their spouses and four amazing grandchildren that range from 12 to 17. Terry also enjoys attending the grandkids’ school activities, traveling, hiking, kayaking and genealogy research.

Please join us in celebrating Terry Beck’s incredible career and wishing her all the best in her well-earned retirement.
Thank you, Terry.

📣 October is Residents’ Rights Month! 📣

This year’s national theme is “Stand With Me” — a powerful reminder that no resident should ever have to stand alone when it comes to dignity, respect, and choice.

I’m Marissa Gilcrease, your Long-Term Care Ombudsman for Region 1 with the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas. My role is to stand alongside residents in nursing homes, assisted living, and other long-term care settings — to listen, advocate, and ensure their rights and voices are protected every single day.

💜 Together, we can make a difference:
✔️ Supporting residents as they speak up about their care.
✔️ Protecting their right to make choices about their lives.
✔️ Making sure every voice is heard and every concern is addressed.

📞 If you or someone you love lives in a long-term care facility, you’re not alone. I’m here to stand with you.
