Heartis Arlington

My mother has been living at Heartis, Arlington for nearly a year. She is living in the Memory Car Unit and suffers from Alzheimer's. It has taken her some time to settle in, but the staff has worked with her very patiently, and more and more we have noticed signs that she is feeling comfortable and at home. She is seen by her primary care physician and nurse practitioner on a weekly basis, and they have carefully adjusted her medication. We appreciate the many activities available to her, particularly the regular worship services. The community is clean and very well kept, and all the staff are friendly and patient with Mom and our family. We appreciate this community very much.

Heartis Arlington is immaculate. It's beautiful. The grounds and the rooms are beautiful, the amenities are very nice, and the people are very friendly. If ever mom needs more and more care, she can stay at the same facility. When she completely totally needs 100% memory care, they have a wing specifically for that and if she needs more assistance, they have another wing for that. It's close to her church and some of the people that she used to go to church with are there. The staff is wonderful, very polite, very attentive, and seems to be very happy. It's a relatively small facility. They have four or five things going every day. They had bingo when I was there, they have a big screen TV where they watch football, and they take them shopping once or twice a week. They've done anything I've asked them to do, and they've been very attentive to her needs. I've eaten there once and the food was delicious. It's pretty expensive.

I have been very pleased with Heartis Arlington. We've had some issues with them getting to know my mom and her getting to know them. The staff has been very receptive to feedback and I appreciate that. They have some music activities, Bingo, jewelry making, arts and crafts, and other entertainment. The great grandchildren went and played Bingo with her last week, so that was fun for her.
