Bethesda Gardens Arlington

I would recommend. Our families experience

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

Would not recommend

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.

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.
