Overview of 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. Now 43 years operating, it is licensed by the Arkansas Department of Human Services as a Residential Care Facility, a state designation covering assisted living and independent living services without the skilled nursing classification of a certified SNF.

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. It is a strong fit for individuals who want personalized daily support, with or without significant medical needs, in a stable, home-like environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Arkansas

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Arkansas?

Assisted living in Arkansas supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Arkansas?

Assisted living in Arkansas is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Arkansas Medicaid cover assisted living?

Arkansas Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Arkansas) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 55 assisted living facilities in Arkansas. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Arkansas?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Arkansas, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Arkansas?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
