Accommodating Staff, Great Facility

It's a great place to be. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. They don't do light housekeeping like I was told when I moved my mother in. Other than that...that is my only "gripe" with the facility. Pricing was the main reason we chose this facility. There is not an upcharge depending on the level of care.

Review for Bethesda Gardens Arlington

They were nice, the staff were sweet and helpful. Unfortunately, the residents were a different story. They were constantly harassing my mom, they didn't like her and excluded her from everything, they talked about her behind her back and even to us. They constantly told me to take her to a place for "her kind of people" not knowing what they meant. So it just wasn't a good fit for her.

It's a terrible place to live! Food is horrible, helpers are rude. I want out! This is an honest and true feedback.

Would not recommend.

If 0 was an option I would have given 0. It was a nightmare from hell. We moved mom within 6 weeks out of fear for her well being. So very sad for the poor people left there.

Inconsistent care

We took her out after about 6 weeks. Inconsistent care. She fell one night and no one responded to her buzzer. Medications administered at random times. Since some medication needed to be given 30 minutes before a meal and medication was given late, she missed some meals. Those are just a couple of things. I live in California and had to fly out to Texas to take her out of the place.

Subpar

After only 2 months we moved our mom out because the assurance we were promised never happened. She was helped to shower once while living there. She could hardly eat the food because it was too hard to chew. Her meds were not given consistently and even got the wrong medicine once. Very disappointed.

Not the right fit.

My LO has dementia, and although the staff were all good to her, the residents were not. They were very cognizant, mentally able, while my LO was not. She seemed to be more of a bother to the other residents. They yelled at her, told her she wasn't welcomed, told her to go live at a place with "her own people". She cried daily, knowing that they didn't want her around. While the staff were nice, they didn't help in getting the others to include her.

Our Bethesda Gardens Arlington experience

There are activities, they were just not Moms thing. Mom prefers a different kind of structure to her daily life than what happens at Bethesda. Bethesda has outstanding food, they do great with personal laundry, it's pretty laid back about activities so things are happening-- she just didn't always know what, where, or when. We had some medication issues. Overall it's a good value but as with anywhere, keep an eye on what's happening with medications.

Would not recommend

We left because medications were supposed to be administered by their staff. Timing of medication was irregular. Since some medications had to be taken a prescribed amount of time prior to eating, this also disrupted eating schedules. Laundry , if done at all, wasn't on schedule . Once when my mom fell, no one came when she pressed her buzzer. She was near the door, so she slid over and opened the door. Someone walking down the hall saw her and got help. We only put her in assisted living because her balance and moving around was getting harder. She was totally capable of medicating herself and doing laundry etc at home. When she moved into Bethesda, many of the things that she could do by herself were turned over to other people, so she lost control of many of the things she could do , and the people tasked with doing those things were not reliable. The falling situation was the final straw. Bethesda came highly recommended and the tour we got was great. The quality of the care was not what was advertised.

Experience at Bethesda Gardens Arlington

My loved one is currently a resident at Bethesda Gardens Arlington. Overall, most everything has been good for her at this facility so far. The staff are very friendly and responsive, though they are a little over worked and understaffed. The staff is also compassionate and caring, I just wish there were more of them. The meals are very very basic, not well balanced, and really need nutritional guidance. They contain way way too many carbs. The food looks like high school cafeteria food from the 1970s.

A Good Fit

My loved one is currently a resident at Bethesda Gardens Arlington and overall it has been a very good experience. The staff have long tenures and seem happy with their employment. They have all been pleasant to my mom. They are responsive to all of our questions and calls. We have only had one poor experience so far and it was remedied once escalated. The meals are generally tasty and nutritious, but there are no significant options to the main offering. I would recommend Bethesda Gardens Arlington to others.

Feels like home

The facility/staff at Bethesda Gardens Arlington are amazing! They really take the time to care for the residents and make the building feel like a home. I do think that they could have more variety on the food menu.

Friendly Staff

It's a transition for all of us to go through, residents and families alike. But the staff are really nice. And as long as you can find a place with nice staff, you can work through anything else. The number one thing is we all want our parents to be happy and be in a place where they can feel special, appreciated, and loved. And that is the case for my loved one here at Bethesda Gardens.

Great Option for your aging family member.

I recommend; however make sure you check medication distribution and go there often.

Need Pending Issues Resolved

No kitchen manager, a lot of foods are cold meals served on paper plates. The staff that is there are good. They do the best they can. They are short staffed currently. We have reached out for more information as the prices will be raised as of this month.

Tour of Bethesda Gardens

We did a virtual tour with Bethesda Gardens and it was very informative. It was not the right fit because of the visual impairs my loved one has, so we decided to move him into another facility.

Great place to live

This is a great small community that is very professionally run by a very caring staff. My mother was well cared for and it always appeared that the staff was genuinely interested in the well being of the residents.
