What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Reviews of Arlington Gardens are sharply mixed, with significantly more negative than positive feedback. Several family members and former residents describe the facility as dirty, poorly maintained, and unsafe, citing cockroaches, flies, scabies, unpleasant odors, discarded diapers, and inadequate cleaning. One reviewer reported that a resident lost more than 60 pounds, became malnourished, developed serious foot sores, and experienced delayed treatment for scabies. Other allegations include insufficient nighttime staffing, residents not being changed promptly, fights, unwanted attempts to enter rooms, theft, and suspected financial or Medicaid fraud. Some reviewers felt the facility housed residents needing nursing-home or mental-health care rather than assisted living. Food was repeatedly criticized as inadequate or unappetizing, with claims that portions were insufficient and that meals sometimes consisted of poor-quality items such as bologna sandwiches. Rooms and furnishings were described as basic, and one reviewer considered the monthly fee of approximately $4,500 overpriced. Front-office and management interactions were frequently characterized as rude, dismissive, or unprofessional, although some reviewers praised the general caregiving staff as hardworking and medically attentive. A few positive reviews describe clean rooms, pleasant front-desk interactions, friendly staff, good food, activities, a courtyard, security improvements, renovations, and convenient proximity to shopping and a hospital. Some families reported positive experiences and highly recommended the facility, particularly for the care their relatives received. Overall, the reviews present an inconsistent picture: some residents appear well cared for, while others report serious concerns involving sanitation, nutrition, staffing, resident safety, management responsiveness, and value. Prospective residents and families should tour the facility, inspect accommodations and meal service, ask about staffing and health inspections, and verify allegations independently.
