This is such a wonderful facility. A treasure for those Pickerington Senior seniors in need of assisted living accommodations. Artisha and Shaena along with their entire team are so caring and compassionate.

They take the time to communicate clearly and help our family understand her needs. The facility is very clean and smells so good. I have stopped in at all different times and have been very impressed with the staff. They go to great links to make sure the resident’s needs are met. I am greatly impressed with Abbington of Arlington. I would recommend this facility to families looking for compassionate care.

I’m rating 5 stars because I have no experience with the actual care of Abbington, which seems good based on the reviews, but I do have a community concern. As someone who lives beside Abbington, there is someone (I assume an employee) who sits in their car in the parking lot and BLARES music for over an hour in the middle of the night. It wakes up my family and the bass is actually so loud that I can feel it in my walls. Please tell whichever employee this is to turn down their music or at least cut the bass.
