I was Pleasantly impressed with the Facility. Met with the Director Chloe. Very Encouraging about the staff and Life style for the Residents at Arlington. The Facility is warm and felt like Home. I believe my Mom would be very Happy there and I know that in this vulnerable time of her Life she would be taken care of and secure. Highly would recommend

A couple years ago, I had posted a one star review of Arlington Place detailing a very horrible time and experience we had with a family member under their care. This morning, I deleted that review after touring and seeing all of the positive changes they have made. Starting with new management, staff and training. I have always said the community of Red Oak deserves a beautiful safe place for people to live when they need assistance. Although it was only a tour, I feel Arlington Place is working towards that. The entire demeanor of the residents has changed, when we toured many were out in the dining room playing games and visiting with company. There was laughter and fun. The activities rooms were bright and cheery. I only gave four stars because we have not had a family member live there, so I can't score all of their services, but it didn't feel right to leave a negative review in place when they have worked so hard over the last couple of years to make positive changes.

My interactions with the staff at Arlington Place at Red Oak is always a pleasant experience. I have witness the staff interacting with the residents and they are caring and patient. They have plenty of activities to do for the residents, if they choose. It feels homey when you are in the building.
