My mother-in-law has moved into Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care, Fort Worth. They were very helpful on the phone. I toured the facility, and they showed me all the different options, and then they worked directly with the rehab center that she was already in to go and assess her and figure out her care needs. It was kind of a seamless transition from one location over to there. The staff has been very helpful and great with my mother-in-law.
For the amount of money that these senior facilities or assisted living facilities are charging nowadays, we had to end up going with the companion suite. I wish that she had her own room, but the facility is very clean and smells nice. The rooms are clean and well taken care of. There weren't any issues at all with the facility.
I saw the menu, and it looked really good. I didn't try any of the food, but my mother-in-law said that she's been enjoying all the meals. There was an art class that was going on when I visited, and then they provided the calendar of events that has several outings, bingo, and different activities throughout the day. It looks like a pretty robust schedule, and a lot of different things to do. They are just so overpriced. I struggle still with how they're charging seniors so much for care.

Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care Fort Worth gave a proper tour. The lady showed me around and told me everything that I was curious about. It was a decent home. It was clean and the people were friendly. I also met some of the residents and everybody seemed to be what I expected.

This is a great place, I found it meeting to make a transition due to lack of care at another facility. Kristee, the director is a wonderful person who will take care of you, your needs and your family member or loved one. Most recently, I have met Phe Phe who is an amazing caregiver on site who works closely with my dad. I am grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to anyone who may need care in the Fort Worth area.

My dad was ready to move into Bethesda Gardens, but he wasn’t quite ready to make a commitment. Bethesda Gardens, in my opinion, would have been an excellent fit for him. They have a very good staff. When you walk in, the place smelled clean. It was a very, very nice place. The room that he would have gone into and the services would have been a big improvement for him, but as I said, he had some personal reasons for not wanting to move in.

Bethesda Gardens had good specialist training for the staff in the memory care unit and a good staff-to-resident ratio. They had a piano there that the residents could use. The staff turnover was also pretty impressive because they had people who had been there for six, nine, and 15 years.

My visiting experience at Bethesda Gardens was pretty negative. I told them that my mom was a fall risk, and they told me that they never leave their patients on the ground longer than an hour. That doesn't sound like a fall risk medication plan to me. Their rooms were nice, and they had an activities calendar. The dining area looked like a normal cafeteria.

We ate dinner at Bethesda Gardens and showed my mother three different rooms that were all nicely done. They were not as updated, but they were clean. It was very busy and felt more like a nursing home than what I wanted. I want her to be able to have her own little apartment and cook if she wants to. They had 200 people, and it was overwhelming to my mother. I would want her to be in a smaller community.

I wasn't impressed with Bethesda Gardens. When we walked in, we smelled dog urine, which put us off. They need to be able to take care of the odor of animal urine that was prevalent in the hallway. However, we were impressed with the fact that they said they had a chef that prepares the meals and the staff was very accommodating. They appeared to care about the individuals that were living in the facility.

I called a Place for Mom. They suggested several facilities within our area. We looked at several. Bethesda Gardens gave us a full tour but we're the only ones that spoke to my mother like a person not a patient. They asked her questions- it wasn't this is what we offer but what would you like us to do to make this comfortable for your new home. They offer several interactive activities and field trips with no pressure and invite families to attend.

Bethesda Gardens was the one we visited. They had a lot of good features, and they had good access like for a wheelchair, but the prices prohibited it right at the moment, and there was no apartment available. They had an excellent dining area.
I liked the accessibility and their programs. While we were there, they had an Elvis impersonator and a show for a bunch of them. They had 3 meals a day which were very good.

Bethesda Gardens is an excellent home; it is clean, beautiful, very modern, and very bright, and the appearance of it is great. The apartments have one bedroom, one living room, and a small kitchen. The staff is wonderful. They have numerous activities, and they have entertainment. The dining area is excellent.

Bethesda Gardens is an attractive and well maintained facility. They keep the property updated and clean at all times. They have high turnover in staff from medication aides all the way up to the director. As a result many things get lost in the cracks. Medications are not kept up with when prescriptions run out, the food went downhill with the last chef change and apparently budget cuts, emergency button pulls are not answered promptly, and there are often mix ups with laundry for which no one takes ownership. Meetings with the director will often affirm that "This is not acceptable" but still it continues. They do have ample activities for residents and bring in a variety of entertainment which is always welcomed.

We visited the Bethesda Gardens assisted living facility while searching for a place for my brother's friend to live in Texas.
The outside of the building was very nicely maintained, with well manicured greenery and many places to enjoy.
The foyer was fresh and bright with very nice decorations and furniture. All of the indoor rooms had plenty of fresh air and light. Each room was beautifully decorated and furnished. The colors throughout the building were soothing and comfortable.
The private rooms featured plenty of space in nicely decorated surroundings with lots of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture.
The seniors can easily socialize, make crafts, play games, watch TV and films and participate in many stimulating activities. The facility can accommodate all levels of ambulation. Communal activity rooms were spacious, with comfortable furniture.
Seniors can use the exercise room at any time and also go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered. The also have a full service salon for the residents.
The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them.
The residents go on trips to visit the many art galleries and museums, eat at casual and fine restaurants and enjoy the many cultural events offered in the area.
The residents here were well cared for by kind and considerate staff and appeared to content. b

Bethesda Gardens is providing a good home for my mother-in-law. They told us there would be a rough patch when she made the move, which was true but less so than might be imagined. We have found that there is less interaction between the residents than we might expect, but some folks are attracted to some activities and some others. A big hit for her is about the simplest you can imagine. They simply schedule a time to take interested residents on a random driving tour of the area. Literally random: they don't know where the ride will take them until the van is rolling. Given that most of the residents have lived in this area for much of their lives, the tour is a good way for them to see what has changes and what has not. The weaker aspect of the facility is that some of the caregivers seem to be less than enthusiastic. They come when there is a problem, but somewhat on cruise control. But they get the job done. Oh, then there is the food. All the residents say the previous chef was good and the new one is a bozo. It sounds like much of the vitriol is about attempts to reduce wasted food, but nonetheless everyone now is lining up prior to the start of meal time to have a chance to get anything on the menu. I guess I'd wish my mother-in-law could enjoy her golden years without Pavlovian mealtime behavior.
