Arkansas: medical director for a long-term care / assisted living / group home

A detailed 2026 AHCA/NCAL regulatory summary of Arkansas's Level I/II Assisted Living Facility rules (A.C.A. § 20-10-1703 et seq.) shows a required full-time administrator and, for Level II, an RN — no 'medical director' role appears anywhere in personnel, administration, or quality requirements. This is confirmed only for standalone ALFs; Arkansas's separately-licensed nursing facilities were not independently verified this pass and, like every state, remain subject to federal 42 C.F.R. § 483.75(i)'s medical director requirement if Medicare/Medicaid-certified.
