Bethesda Gardens Arlington

This community was nice it just felt like a hotel, it did not meet my loved ones needs and was too high class for us.

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.

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.

It is been good until COVID hit and now I can't in and her doctor can't get in. My loved one needs healthcare which is a real concern right now. The food is terrible. The caregivers are great, friendly, very sweet, and my likes them. We chose this community because is was smaller,my mom liked the room, total cost was all inclusive price, and proximity to my house.

Bethesda Gardens absolutely tries there hardest to help My Mother and Father as residents of there Facility. Having first hand knowledge of other facilities I would recommend Bethesda Gardens for you or your loved ones.

My mother lived here from [dates removed]. The management is awful: my mothers room flooded three times and they moved her bed without telling me and she fell because they did not have her bed at the angle she was accustomed to. When I came to visit no one was at the front desk and I never could get a straight answer about my mothers care. I noticed she declined rapidly after that fall, and that move. The caregivers were always sneaking out the back door to smoke together. I pushed my mothers call button and it took over an hour to have them respond. Someone broke the plug to my mothers hospital bed: they had the head up and the feet up and left her that way for a week! My mother was miserable. The management promised to apply a credit which they never did. I moved her to [removed] in North Arlington.

This place is a high priced institution. They don't let the residents interact with their friends and I am sitting by myself for all meals. I spend most of my time by myself in my room.

Rooms did not have a living room area, and no full kitchen. Nice people, but not a good fit for my parents. Bathrooms are being remodeled and were the best bathrooms I saw of all the facilities.

We did a walk in tour and were impressed with the friendly,caring attitude of everyone we met as well as the pricing and cleanliness of the facility. It did not have much outdoor space, which is very important to my mom.

My dad has recently made the move into this community and so far we are pleased with how things are going for him. The staff are attentive to his needs to the best of there ability but I have noticed that they seem to be short handed at times. Every time I have visited the property always seems to be clean and have a fresh scent throughout the building. My dad is comfortable and feels safe in his new living environment and that is what is most important to my family and I . I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place for there loved one.

I enjoyed my tour of this community, it is a nice facility. From what I saw everything looked nice, and well maintained. The staff I met was nice, friendly. it was a good experience, but to location wasn't convenient for my mother, and her needs.

My loved one was at the Bethesda for a few weeks and everyone there was nice and professional. We had to move him out because he exceeded the level of care that they were able to provide, but they did what they could while he was there. It was a good experience.

Toured on Feb 11. got a good feeling from this cozy place. Would choose this for mom, but right now we are on hold

I had agreed to a tour and it was a nice visit. The walk through and getting information was fine. The person who gave the tour did fine too. This was just not the place for us.

This was a beautiful facility and the staff was very helpful in providing the information I was looking for. However, this was over our budget therefore was not considered.

The staff during our tour was not very welcoming and just gave average information. When we entered the building I noticed a musky and unpleasant smell throughout the building. When they presented the rooms for us to tour the bathrooms where not clean. I would not want my mother to live there .

Things are fine since moving my mother to Bethesda. Things are going very good. She does participate in some of the activities they have, but she likes to sleep a lot so that gets in the way sometimes. The food is good there. I would refer friends and family to check out this community when they are looking into their options as well.

My mother has been in Bethesda for several years. Staff is friendly and good to her. The downside is the turnover in staffing. The food is marginal at best, especially on the weekends. Activities could be a bit more stimulating. There isn't much flexibility with getting residents on outings. The appearance is good. Always clean and the grounds are nice. It is corporate run and it shows. Lots of cost cutting and fewer opportunities for the residents

They hardly provided care services because she was in assisted living. What they provided they did very well. She has now moved out. She did not participate in any activities because of her health.
