Sunshine Manor Retirement Homes, Inc.
Sunshine Manor Retirement Homes, Inc., is a 96-bed residential care facility at 3001 Linwood Drive in Paragould, Arkansas, in Greene County. Family-owned and operated since 1983, the facility administered by Mike Edwards with Lana Edwards as primary contact has served the elderly of Paragould and Greene County longer than nearly any comparable community in the area.

The BBB assigns an A+ rating based on complaint history and business practices.
Staff work 24/7 from a personalized approach: no two care plans are alike to provide the level of support each resident exactly needs while preserving independence and dignity. The facility’s operating philosophy centers on individualized care that meets each resident where they are, without requiring relocation as needs change. Services are bundled into a single daily rate, covering three balanced meals per day plus snacks, housekeeping and laundry, medication supervision, and hands-on assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and other activities of daily living. Transportation to local doctor’s appointments, beauty and barber services, daily activities, and wireless internet are also included. There is respite care for short-term stays. Residents live in private studio rooms or two-room suites, each with a bathroom. The community’s home-like atmosphere and consistent staff recognition contribute to strong family satisfaction: A Place For Mom rates Sunshine Manor 4.8 out of 5 across five reviews, with a proprietary score of 8.5 out of 10 based on recent submissions, with residents noting that staff know everyone’s name. Reviews highlight food quality, a meaningful daily activities program, and a sense that the owners invest in both residents and employees. At 2.38 miles from Arkansas Methodist Medical Center and with a walk score of 69, the Linwood Drive location offers reasonable access to both everyday services and acute care.
Sunshine Manor Retirement Homes, Inc., fits seniors in the Paragould area seeking a long-established, family-run residential setting with an all-inclusive pricing model, consistent staffing, and a track record built over four decades of community service.
