  I'd like to share my experience with The Blossoms of Fort Smith. This nursing care facility was originally going to be just a short stop for my husband after months in Mercy following a bike accident. The Blossoms accepted our insurance and my husband was scheduled for a two week stay to work on PT, OT, Speech Therapy, etc. It turned out that he was still suffering from catastrophic symptoms of his brain injury plus other physical disorders brought on by the accident. He was again back and forth to Mercy and now he has begun hospice. The gals at The Blossoms have been there to help answer questions, care for my husband and help calm me with explanations. They helped me get a fast track to Medicaid so my hubby wasn't tossed on the street. The nurses are caring and the administration compassionate. People go put of their way to help each time I call or come by. My only concern is a cosmetic one. The facility is getting old and faded, and looks rather depressing inside with the 1970s cinder block walls and linoleum floors. I realize that this nursing hospital has been owned and operated by several other corporations over the years, and that the rooms and hallways may not be considered important in the larger scheme of caring for sick people. Id rather have funds directed at a patient's quality of life than a new paint job:). I can recommend this nursing establishment with my heart and head. My husband digs his nurses and they have taken the time to develop a rapport with him. I am kept in the loop with phone calls and visits, and am asked my opinion regarding his treatment. It is a very well run and structured permanent home for an infirm family member or a place for good short term rehab.
