The director was super nice and seemed to genuinely care about the residents. The facility is a little dated but the room size was nice.

Review for Brookdale Fort Smith
It was hard to get a hold of the nursing staff and nurse director. It was hard to reach anyone other than the director by phone. I could reach the nurse director by email. I could never get a hold of anyone at the front desk there. The director was great and good at communicating with me. Dad really liked the food.

The staff are great with Mom and keep us updated. But trying to navigate the financial portion has been a nightmare and still is. I would not recommend anyone to this facility until they fix the finance department. To pay $[removed]a month and have trouble getting reimbursed is not something I want anyone else to experience.

Overall, I am pleased with this facility and would recommend it. The staff are friendly and try really hard. Given the nature of the situations with which they deal, it is just difficult. There have been times of confusion and things I thought might have been better handled, but then I wasn't there in the moment and my mother can be uncooperative. I do feel that the housekeeping could be improved in the apartment/room, but the overall facility is kept up nicely. The food quality is probably acceptable, but not outstanding. Some of the trays I have seen sent to the room just didn't look very appealing, but the only major complaint my mother has ever made is about the taste of the eggs. The staff tries to organize special activities for the residents and they do a good job of communication.

Everyone working there seems to be happy to work there and they are caring and thoughtful. The move in process was very smooth and Mom made friends right away. There's a genuine sense of community with staff and residents and we all felt welcome immediately. Food quality and variety are important to the staff and it's easy to offer suggestions and they want feedback. We definitely recommend Brookdale.

Would recommend.
[name removed] is the guy who visited with us when we first went to explore the facility. He was really helpful in the entire process. The food has been really good and my mom really likes the size of the rooms. My only hesitation or difficulty has been in the filing of her long-term care insurance. But I think we are close to getting that resolved.

I think this is a great place for a loved one to live. The community appears to be very safe place. The staff are very friendly. The communication with the family has been really good and they keep us in the loop on any changes of our loved one. There are three meals a day served and the residents have choices to choose from.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Arkansas’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Arkansas’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Fort Smith 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
