Heartis Arlington

My life at Heartis Arlington began December 1, 2018, and part of my life ended February 28, 2019 when my husband died suddenly. To move at that point I could not do. So, I stayed and Heartis became my family. There have been so many good times here, and of course, because of the COVID-19, there have been some bad times. Some of the Heartis family has passed and some have moved away to somewhere else. But, there is a group of us who have stayed...we are the “rough riders.” We stayed through many changes in personal (and believe me that is hard on us). Change is hard. The staff here at Heartis Arlington is wonderful. They are always caring and kind. But, I guess the worst part is the isolation and not being able to be with family. And to the elderly- family is their life. But all this will end in God’s timing and Heartis Arlington will be a happy, wonderful place like it was when I first moved here- I will go forward with gratitude that I stayed at Heartis – MY HOME!

What is Heartis Arlington like?
It's my home away from home.

From the first time I came here in December 2018, the Heartis Arlington personnel reached out to make me feel comfortable and at home. Because the staff was so friendly, they were easy to get to know. Whenever I have a question about something, they eagerly respond to find the answer, or they direct me to the person who has the answer.
Sometimes there is a problem among or between the residents. Usually, a staff member nearby immediately steps in and knows how to handle the situation. This reflects to me how well the staff is trained.
The "Med Techs" are especially sensitive to the needs of the residents. They go out of their way to keep us on our medication schedules.
And finally, everybody's favorite staff person is "LadyBug," who keeps the residents busy with mentally stimulating and fun activities. She brightens our days with her kindness to all and her infectious laughter.
When my husband was in his final days, he talked about how he could not be in a better place at his time than here at Heartis Arlington.

I took my dad for his initial assessment today. The executive director, Alycia is amazing! So loving and compassionate. Marla, the nurse over memory care, was so patient and compassionate while doing the assessment. I am very excited for my dad to have a new home, where he can find purpose and keep his dignity.

My father-in-law was taken very good care of during his stay at Heartis. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful at all times.

Mom has been a resident in both the Assisted Living and the Memory Care sides since Nov 2017. The management and staff continually surpass our expectations. The facility is always clean, properly staffed with lots of activities for the residents. The staff take ownership of any issue brought to their attention and always leave us completely informed. A safe, clean place with a dedicated group of care givers at a reasonable price.
