Came in early and sat to see what was going on. Residents were active and interacting with each other.

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 meals are complained about quite often, the apartment housekeeping leaves much to be desired, the nursing staff is excellent, the kitchen staff remember special dietary needs.

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.

Friendly management

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.
