Bethesda Senior Living Communities

We toured this place recently and we were very happy with everything we saw. It was clean and had a very warm, friendly, comfortable atmosphere. It's very homey feeling in the best way and all the residents and staff we saw looked happy and healthy. We met with Krystal and she was lovely; very helpful and very sweet. She seemed to know all the residents by name and they all looked happy to see her.

My dad stayed at The Gardens (not to be confused with Village Gardens just down the street) for a week in their respite furnished room while I was away on a trip. Most important to my dad is the friendliness of the staff and the entire crew was absolutely outstanding with everyone seeming to know my dad (and he knew them) by the end of his short stay. This facility will be on our list if/when we choose a permanent facility for him. I rated activities five stars because there was not an option to opt out. I don't believe he participated in those, however. One final note - he was not impressed with the food. I believe it was acceptable but just not great. Food will be an important consideration for him. Overall, great place and great people (both residents and staff).

“Autumn View Gardens Ellisville” - Third time’s not a charm; Third time is more like a Diamond: Since being diagnosed with Parkin Sonism traits some five years ago, I have been a resident at three different health-care facilities. First, because of frequent falls & other related problems my Primary-care Physician & a neurologist referred me to a facility with both assisted living & 24/7 nursing care, as my condition progressed. I had to move to their own property full health-care facility. During this time, I then was referred to a 2nd facility that had a more extensive physical therapy unit. I was almost 100% dependent on either a wheel-chair or powered chair. However because I was being given a lot of physical therapy in walking with a roll-aider or walker I began to strengthen my legs & with extensive daily therapy slowly strengthened my walking abilities. During the time I was at the second health facility I was truly blessed by being accepted to a program at Washington University School of medicine & Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, I was referred to their program under the care of, a neurologist & specialist in neurological-muscular disease. Because of his cutting- edge new treating technology – he literally got me out of the wheel-chair & yes walking again with-in 48 hours. Yes after 5 years in a wheel-Chair he gave me my life back again! After the second day of treatment, I could walk even better & perform other tasks. I both cried & laughed at the same time, even he shed a tear along with a huge smile. Needless to say he is my hero & I have both the utmost respect & admiration one human-being could have for another. With him & because of him I am now happy to say I was able to move to “Autumn View Gardens Assistant Living”. This is my third facility. And it was the best decision I made, with the assistance of my truly beloved cousin, Sue Ackky & her immediate family & the tremendous medical attention from Dr. Verharda Hac Hary at Barnes Hospital & Washington University – I am now a much happier 67 year old “young” man. Yes, “Autumn View Gardens Assisted Living” has been my third I hope last stop to continue my health-challenged life. In this case only my third, time is not a “charm”, my third time is a “diamond”. From the top administrators & Business office to the caring & professional director of nursing, and her staff of assistant nurses & medical techs. The med-techs play a very important role here. They make sure your medicines are given to you correctly & in a timely fashion. This is an extremely important responsibility & it is done more efficient here than anywhere I have been or heard about. The top maintenance staff here makes sure that at all times things that could go wrong electronically or physically are working properly at all times. The housekeeping staff visits your room daily & makes sure all your needs or met & you have a clean, safe environment. They are also usually good for a good joke or laugh as well. The dining area is a relaxing restaurant type environment. The quality of food here at Autumn View Gardens is better by far than any other place I’ve been or visited. Breakfast includes any type eggs desired – (omelettes, scrambled, side up or down). Bacon, sausage & fried potatoes with begel & cream cheese are my favorite, and by the way I am on the food committee where we meet regularly for suggestions, menu changes or problems. My first meeting I told them I loved Bagels cream cheese, two days later they were served! Lunches & dinner include various pastas, beef pork & of course the famous St. ouis “Toasted Raoali” various salads , vegetables, & fruit plates are always available desserts are too varied to mention – but if you don’t like ice cream strawberry short cake apple & peach pie. Come here and just loosen your belt. I’ve saved perhaps the best for last. The attractive & fun – loving director of activities & her staff regularly put together such a full schedule of activities there is something to do; something to play; something to make & somewhere to go every day & night of the month. There is both a weekly calendar & monthly calendar. We visit a variety of restaurants for outside dinning & various field trips to places like farms; animal farms; state parks and many others. This week we toured the choc/chaos & received free samples. This is not a retirement home – this is a “get-up & go” home. Sometimes I cannot at 67 keep up with some of our 70 & 80 year olds. One couple here are my favorite friends I eat dinner with them regularly, they are both 93 years young – married 67 years (to each other). They love music; dancing; baseball & we discuss politics, comedy movies & worldly affairs. Being a musician in my past-playing the drums. I really enjoy the music we have country music “oldie but goodies” live key board & sax and a lot of singers & various entertainment. Activities include of course Bingo, but unlike others places where that is about all they did we have many other games such as “Wi-Bowl” & “Wi – Baseball”. Finally not only do we have transportation to activities but Autumn View Gardens also provides transportation to your Doctor Dentist & shopping centers, we have our own mini-bus here. When I needed to be transported to my doctor for an appointment I expected to be driven by our friendly professional driver in the mini-bus. But to my surprise up comes a handsome silver Lincoln- Continental! It made me feel very special. And that’s what “Autumn View Gardens” is all about. They bend over backwards to make every resident feel very special”. I’ve made many new friends here; from all kinds of backgrounds & all age groups. This is truly a village of friends with staff & residents. That’s why “Atumn View Gardens” – my third choice – is not just a “charm”- It is a “Diamond”! And one last old time saying – “you have to see it – to believe it”. For your mom or dad; brother or sister; a friend or yourself – visit us. Try us – you’ll like us. Bye & Sincereley, Bob F.

All the times I have been here it is very clean. They have activities for the residents, my dad has joined a bridge group. I am happy with the care and the community makes good meals for my dad. He is very happy with his room. The staff have been responsive with any questions we have and overall my dad has not complained.

Our loved one's are doing great at the community Bethesda Gardens Fort Worth. They are enjoying the variety of options available to them at meals. They have lots of activities for them to enjoy. The staff are very easy to work with and helpful.

I am very happy with the care from this community. The staff is very helpful and caring. Very clean environment . the staff is very helpful and caring. Food is really good with a nice variety. I would recommend this to other families for good care.

Dad is in the nursing side of Sun Valley and the staff have gone above and beyond to get help and care for my dad. The community is clean and well maintained. They offer daily activities for the residents to enjoy. I would recommend this community.

Fantastic facility!! Great staff and amenities. Beautifully decorated, bright, and cheerful. They truly seem to care about all residents acknowledging them all by name. I would recommend the Park Regency to anyone needing to make this sometimes difficult decision. The value for the money is fantastic, there isn't any nickle and dimming on charges as with some of the other facilities I considered. All inclusive pricing makes life easier for residents and families.

We picked this community for my mom to live. After one day we had to move her to another community, not due to care. The experience we had was a fine one and the community was clean and the staff did a good job while we were there.

I'm glad I moved my mom here. I was nervous about moving my mom anywhere (other than my own house). I toured tons of assisted living homes and eventually chose Villagio Carrollton because I liked the size of it and how close it was to my house. Even after moving my mom in, I wasn't sure about letting her liver here, but every time I came to visit (which was often), the staff and management were friendly and my mom was happy.

My sister in law is doing just great at The Gardens. She likes to participate in music activities. I have tried the food and I think it is outstanding. The community is very clean and a healthy environment. I would recommend this community.

My mother is doing well at this community. They are taking good of her and her needs. The community is very well maintained, and they do a good job keeping her room nice and clean. There are nice activities offered daily. She is pleased with the food, the meals are nice. I have already recommended this community to my friends. I know she is being cared for very well.

I looked at four other places. Linda took me around here and I know exactly what I wanted when she took us to this apartment. All of the workers have been wonderful.

All of the staff are warm and caring! It is a wonderful and safe environment!

Very professional team. Whenever I walk into the building it feels happy and feels like home. The residents always are engaged with staff. We love Shanon!

The ENTIRE staff of View Pointe from delivery - cleaning-maintenance-business office have been and continue to be welcoming, friendly, and supportive to me as I entered this community. As a retired RN I come from a background that is critical on evaluating care of others. I can find absolutely no fault in the attention that has been given to me as well as others!!

My mother has been living in the Memory Care Unity at View Pointe for approximately 14 months and I am incredible pleased with the care and attention she has received. The staff is friendly and passionate about their jobs with a person, a love and dedication to the residents. The food and facilities are both exceptional. I would not hesitate (in fact have recommended this facility to several) to recommend View Pointe to anyone.

My sister in law really loves it here. We are very pleased with everything they have done for us. She is happy here, unlike the community she was at before. She is very interactive with the other residents. They are caring for her well. She helps out the other residents when they need help. The staff is good and very helpful. This would be a community I would recommend.

As a Home Health Care provider in the community, I have found the Park staff very easy to work with. The info I need for my patients tends to be secure and readily available for our practitioners when required. Staff has also been very helpful with scheduling and introducing us to the residents.

Transportation is fantastic! Staff is great. I like my apartment. Meals are pretty good, but always room for improvement.
