No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 27% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 5 findings, above the AR average of 4.3. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
The Blossoms at Fort Smith receives polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the compassionate, attentive staff and effective admissions process. However, significant concerns exist regarding facility maintenance, persistent odors, and reports of neglect or slow response times during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts
“The Director of Admissions, Trish, was quick to respond and follow up with me on everything that was needed for admissions. The process was seamless.”
“If you show up after 5 pm then the entire nursing staff will be outside smoking and they will make you wait an hour while they finish.”
“One staff member left my moms roommate in her own pee for 30 mins after she said she would be back and my gf who’s is a CNA had to change this random lady herself.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
