Bethesda Gardens Arlington Assisted Living

This is the rudest staff I’ve ever encountered . Whoever is in charge of working dinner at the east side entry was beyond disrespectful addressing me and proceeded to try to embarrass me in front of the residents as I was lost trying to deliver packages. I do not appreciate the way I was treated as I was also just trying to do my job. I wish I could have got the ladies name cause she definitely does not have the right attitude or spirit to be working with the elderly and assisting people .

Most facilities only know your loved one by what’s written in their chart, and many don’t take the time to truly connect during the move-in process. It’s rare to find nurses who go above and beyond—who genuinely get to know each resident, interact with them, and treat them as individuals. Choosing the right place for your parent isn’t easy, but when you find the right one, it’s truly a blessing. Nurse Barbara is one of those blessings. She consistently goes the extra mile, showing patience, compassion, and genuine love for the residents. Her dedication and hard work never go unnoticed.

An awesome place to be! Very homey and the staff are awesome. Accepts long term care insurance and Medicaid.

I recently visited Bethesda Gardens in consideration for my Mom and met with Bonnie and Denisse. Both ladies were very friendly and informative. I felt very comfortable with Bethesda Gardens as a place for my Mom. It was very clean, had a pleasant smell and the staff seemed to be very kind to their residents. When Mom is ready, I'll be ready to secure a space for her here.

I live in Oregon and my mother has been at Bethesda since May 2023. An unfortunate chain of events in 2024 caused by outside sources caused an interruption and inconvenience with my mother's care. November is when I became aware of what was happening. This was not the fault of Bethesda, but it was with care and understanding from the management staff at the facility and the district administrator, that all was worked out and my mother's care continued. Recently My mother was hospitalized and had to go to a rehab facility. The staff at Bethesda continued to check on her status and assure mother was doing well. I stay in touch with the staff, as I am 2400 miles away. They are never too busy not speak with me and always have mother's best interest at heart. Their care is excellent. Their communication is excellent. Thank you for being there for our family and especially my mother. 06/19/2025 As I stated in my previous review, my mother had taken ill and was hospitalized. After a lengthy rehab mother was able to return to Bethesda. Bonnie and Barbara were in constant contact with me about mother's recovery. The facility looked after my mother as if she was their family. Mother was 94 years young with a lot of fight and Bonnie and Barbara knew this about her and were with every day possible. Mother did become ill again and she decided, as she always wanted to make her own decisions, to join my dad in forever peace. The staff at Bethesda, and mean the entire staff, treated mother as one of their own. In their business they see people come and go for many reasons, but when one who is part of their family leaves life for peace, the staff feels loss just as any family member would. This includes empathy for the surviving family of the loved one. They make the transition and wrap up of business seamless and painless. Anyone looking for a new dwelling for a loved one cannot go wrong with Bethesda and their staff. Take time to visit with Bonnie and Barbara you will find they are the best to work with because of their experience but most of all because they care. Thank you all for taking care of mother.
