Review for Bethesda Gardens Arlington
The staff is friendly and helpful, but the room layout is awkward and the bathroom is very small for someone using a walker. Mom feels she can't go to the activities because they are in the other half of the building, which involves going down one slope (she goes too fast) and up another slope (she can't do it.) She does like the food! The cleanliness is also good!

Bethesda Gardens has been. Perfect place for my mother -in-law. It's clean and comfortable and they take good care of her. They allow her to do what she can on her own and step in when needed. The staff at Bethesda Gardens has gone the extra mile to be sure our family member feels loved and cared for. While she was in a skilled nursing facility, the staff nurse, Barbara went to visit with her. She assured her that she was missed and they were anxious to have her home.

The lowest point is the food. Most of the residents are not too happy with their meals. The administrator, head nurse and housekeeper are excellent. Very knowledgeable and address all concerns quickly. The activities are good but lately they have not been consistent

Our experience was not a positive one. I would rate it a 1 overall. The room was super small shared by 2 people. Mom's side had no windows and the other room mate had to go through mom's side every time they entered the space. The food that was served was mostly cold sandwi hes, hot dogs, chips, and cookies so hard they could be used as hockey pucks. They often left mom in her wheelchair in the dining room long after dinner was finished and dining g hall cleaned. I found her multiple times sitting alone in dining hall long after meal time was over.?? i had a camera in mom's room so I could communicate with her and check on her while I was working. Multiple times I witnessed the morning caregiver coming in kicking the bed and saying "get up" if mom didn't she would leave and mom would not get morning meds or breakfast. I tried to get assistance from the on sight nurse and the director. Neither were helpful or even interested. Met with the nurse who was over the caregivers and she actually called the caregivers into meeting and yelled at them in front of me. I felt that was inappropriate and unprofessional. Mom was only there 6 weeks before we had experienced all we could handle. Mom deserved better, as did all the other residents. One positive was a one sweet caregiver named [name removed]. She had been there for years and truly tried hard to do her best to love the residents. I appreciated her care for my mom. The facility itself is very cute and could be such a great home for our seniors but just didn't have the leadership needed to make it a safe place for seniors. The emergency pendant system was useless as there was usually no one near the front desk at night to hear the pendant alarm if someone pushed theirs often resulting in a lengthy response time. So sad. Should have been able to receive alarms on the cell phone so they could recieve and respond to alarms from wherever they were in the building. I could go on forever. It was a long hard 6 weeks for mom and my family. Mom is at [community removed] and thriving. We are so glad we got her away from bethesda gardens!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Texas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Texas regulations for Assisted Living.
