Bethesda Gardens
Bethesda Gardens is a licensed assisted living and memory care community in Arlington, Texas, serving older adults in a faith-centered residential setting. Operated by the Bethesda Foundation, the community holds a Type A license in Tarrant County and focuses on supporting residents’ physical well-being, emotional health, and spiritual life through personalized care and meaningful engagement. With a 75-bed community, its moderate size allows for a balance between individualized attention and access to shared amenities, activities, and social opportunities.
During the most recent inspection conducted by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission on August 21, 2024, one Health Code citation was identified involving medication storage practices, which was corrected by September 5, 2024. No Life Safety Code deficiencies or enforcement actions were reported, and the community’s citation total remains well below the Texas average. For the past three years, no federal civil monetary penalties have been issued, reflecting a comparatively positive compliance history.
Care services include both assisted living and specialized memory care, supported by Alzheimer’s certification for residents living with dementia or related cognitive conditions. Studio layouts to spacious two-bedroom accommodations are available, providing more variety than many communities of similar size. The community is pet-friendly and offers an active schedule of recreational, social, and wellness programming. Its faith-based mission also creates a distinct environment for residents and families who value spiritual support as part of daily living.
Focusing on personalized resident relationships and a compassionate, values-driven atmosphere, Bethesda Gardens is well-suited for older adults who need assistance with daily activities or memory care services in a spiritually focused community in the Arlington area.
