Notes

Arkansas's Level I and Level II assisted living rules (A.C.A. § 20-10-1703 et seq.) require a full-time administrator and, for Level II, an RN; no medical director role appears in the personnel, administration or quality requirements. This applies to standalone assisted living facilities. Separately licensed nursing facilities remain subject to the federal medical director requirement in 42 C.F.R. § 483.75(i) if Medicare or Medicaid certified.
