The Green House Cottages of Southern Hills

Nestled in the heart of Rison, Arkansas, The Green House Cottages of Southern Hills offers a revolutionary approach to skilled nursing care — one built on dignity, privacy, and the warmth of home. Unlike traditional nursing facilities, the Green House model organizes care into small, residential-style cottages where elders live in close-knit communities of ten or fewer residents, each with their own private room and bathroom. This design fosters genuine relationships between residents and their dedicated care team, known as Shahbazim, who provide hands-on support while preserving each resident's sense of autonomy. Located along South Main Street in Rison — the seat of Cleveland County — the cottages sit within easy reach of the area's essential services and quiet natural surroundings. Cleveland County Medical Center, just minutes away, provides residents and families peace of mind knowing that acute care is readily accessible. For more specialized medical services, Jefferson Regional Medical Center in Pine Bluff is approximately 40 miles north via US-63, offering a full spectrum of hospital services for the region. Rison's small-town character is a genuine asset for seniors who value a slower pace and a tight community. The Cleveland County Courthouse and surrounding historic downtown provide a familiar, rooted sense of place. The Saline River corridor and the broader Ouachita region offer beautiful natural scenery, and outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the proximity to Moro Bay State Park and the many lakes and forests that define south-central Arkansas. Families visiting loved ones will find local dining options in Rison and a welcoming community atmosphere that makes every visit feel unhurried. The Green House Cottages of Southern Hills is managed by Southern Administrative Services, a management company committed to upholding the person-directed care philosophy at the core of the Green House Project. Their leadership ensures clinical excellence is never at odds with compassionate, individualized care. For families seeking skilled nursing support that feels nothing like an institution, The Green House Cottages of Southern Hills represents a meaningful alternative in Cleveland County.
