About Arlington Gardens Care Center
Arlington Gardens Care Center is a six-bed assisted living facility in Riverside, California offering short-term rehabilitation and longer-stay care. The community operates two distinct wings, one for post-hospital rehabilitation and another for extended stays.
Families report starkly divided experiences. Some describe a clean, well-maintained environment with welcoming staff and effective therapy support, particularly praising CNAs as upbeat and attentive. Others highlight serious gaps: inconsistent meal quality (hard meat, inappropriate food for swallowing difficulties), long wait times when calling for assistance, and insufficient staffing to meet residents' needs. One family noted that dietary changes made during care meetings were not consistently followed. A persistent concern across negative reviews involves food preparation and responsiveness to care requests.
The facility carries a 3.7 out of 5 Google rating based on 125 reviews, reflecting this wide variance. Positive stays, often shorter rehabilitation periods, tend to emphasize cleanliness and individual staff kindness. Longer stays and hospice care generated more critical assessments regarding systemic responsiveness and dietary accuracy. Prospective families should visit personally and discuss staffing ratios and meal management if nutrition or frequent assistance is a priority.

I've been here at the Arlington Gardens Care center since October 19th 2025 when I first got here there was a couple quirks but they got worked out I give it a five star rating because the overall care they provide is good. Nurses are friendly; and the physical and occupational therapy worked hard in trying to get me to walk again, however they could only do so much.The administrative employees are awesome in trying to help in anyway they can to handle situations as they arise in very a professional and caring way. I'm still a current resident here at Arlington Gardens Care center. Resident Timothy Barber Timothy Barber
