Our Mother, Mary Franks , was a resident in Arlington Care Center, for 20 days of Rehab. She was treated Absolutely Amazing, by all the staff here. She Loved going to her Therapy sessions & working with the therapists. She truly Loved the Nurse’s & Nursing assistants. They all treated her with care & respect. She told the staff every single day how much she loved being here & that the Kitchen staff was Amazing & served her Excellent food everyday. She states she is going to miss everyone when she goes home on 6/3/26. Our family is pleased with the care & attention she received. We will Absolutely bring her back here if she ever needs to be in a rehab/ care facility. We will Absolutely tell all of our friends about our Excellent Experience & Amazing Care she received & refer them to your facility.<br>Thank You ,<br>The Franks/ White/ Hines Family

My mother (92) was at Arlington for a little over a year. The care that the staff gave her was outstanding!

Absolutely terrible place please don’t send your loved ones here. The callings are caving in from water damage, they are severely understaffed leading to poor resident care. Nobody has a sense of urgency. My grandma has open sores all down her back and butt from aides neglecting her. It’s just a disgusting place.
