About

About The Caring Place

​

  • The Caring Place of Hot Springs is a ministry of First United Methodist Church and a group of interfaith volunteers in Hot Springs, Arkansas. 

  • We began in 1992 in the basement rooms of the church with six participants, one paid staff member, and a handful of volunteers for four hours a day once a week.  Things have changed quite a bit.  We are now licensed for up to fifty daily  participants, four days a week, six hours a day.  

  • We have our own facility, complete with a large activity room, kitchen and dining rooms, library/resource room, a sick room, chapel, quiet room, offices and a wonderful fenced outdoor patio area.  The facility is secure to ensure our participant's safety.  

  • We are licensed and regulated by the State of Arkansas and registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.  

  • We have a trained professional staff and a large group of hands-on volunteers who receive on-going training and certification throughout the year.
