Meet Our Caregivers: Well Beyond Ordinary
At Encore at West Little Rock, our caregivers are more than just expert medical professionals who deliver skilled healthcare at every touchpoint. They are the backbone of our care community, leading with their hearts and healing with their hands.

Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or endless jokes, our caregivers each bring their unique personality to the community, offering residents a well-rounded human experience. They’re dedicated to learning about each resident and building a trusted relationship to better understand their daily and long-term wants and needs. This practice of personalized care makes it easier to reach the goals our residents set for themselves.

With over two decades of work experience in healthcare, Jeff McMillan continues to make a positive impact in the lives of our residents. Propelled by a passion for always making sure residents’ needs are top priority, part of Jeff’s daily mission is to provide the necessary information and support to family members as they transition loved ones into long-term care.

As a very dedicated and driven admissions coordinator, Jeff will continually seek the right solutions for issues that may occur with the admissions and referral process, and will always go out of his way to make sure residents and their families are satisfied.
