Brookdale Fort Smith offers three levels of residence—Assisted Living, Independent Living and Memory Care—so residents can remain in the same community even as needs change. On-site medical services include diabetic monitoring, medication management, wound care, ambulatory care, occupational therapy, physical therapy, hospice coordination and respite or short-term stays. A licensed nurse is available, and the team is experienced in managing diabetes and moderate dementia conditions, helping residents maintain stability and continuity of care without the need for frequent outside appointments.
Daily support extends to full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and staff members are trained to provide standby, walker or wheelchair transfers as required. An RN or LPN is on staff, and personnel are on site around the clock to address concerns and to provide 24-hour security. The community’s design and staffing model allow residents with varying cognitive or mobility challenges to receive individualized attention in a secure environment.
Accommodations range from studio and efficiency apartments to units with full kitchens, balconies or private patios. Some residences feature bath tubs, in-unit washer and dryer sets, central air conditioning and flat-screen TVs, while others offer basic layouts to simplify daily living; not every apartment includes every feature. Outdoor walking paths, gardens, decks and courtyards give residents choices for fresh air, and uncovered resident parking is available for those who keep a vehicle.
Meals follow a set menu that can be modified for specific diets. Trained staff handle meal preparation and service, ensuring consistency for residents managing diabetes or other health conditions. Full dining support is available for individuals who need hands-on assistance with eating, and the kitchen coordinates with nursing staff to align nutritional plans with overall care goals.
Residents and their guests have access to practical and leisure conveniences such as resident parking, a barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a fireside living room, piano, community room for events or rentals, a private dining room for family gatherings, a game room, a bank kiosk and flat-screen TVs in common areas.
