Bethesda Senior Living Communities

We used them for a respite stay and she liked it and was happy, we decided to let her stay. They keep everything clean, and the staff is really friendly. They have a little Salon. When I went to Autumn View, I thought that it fit her the best. I spoke to one of the residents, and she said that she liked it a lot. She kept telling me how good the food is, and after a year and half, she didn't have any complaints. They don't have a dementia floor. There have been a few little issues, but they aren't anything that can't be worked out. She loves the dining room, and the ladies that she sits with, she likes the food here. There is a little two seater and an extra chair, and that's how she meets people. I can see the changes in mom. They are very good with the church stuff too, they have something on a few different nights a week, and that's just for the Catholic services, they have other ones too!

They're doing a great job at Autumn View Gardens, we're very pleased with their service! I feel like they really care for the residents here, they aren't just numbers to them. The staff are all very friendly and caring, and take great care of everyone. They even do a great job with the food! We had a meal here for Father's Day and everything was delicious!

Autumn View is perfect for my Aunt!! She is 102yrs of age and with macular degeneration an yet is still able to somewhat function on her own. When looking for a place I began with A Place For Mom. I was given 2 choices that met 100% with our qualifications. The min. I walked into Autumn View Gardens I knew it was the place for her. She loves her room, her patio, and the beautiful dining room. She has been there over a year now and still continues to mention how happy she is there. The staff is very friendly and informative and it is just a pleasant place to be. We are very happy with our choice and would NEVER hesitate to call on A PLACE FOR MOM when and if we need a reference for a skilled nursing facility.

Mom is at the Ellisville location. We moved her there from Kentucky so that she could be close to us. I have found the staff to be friendly, courteous, and attentive to details. The rooms are well laid out and priced appropriately for their services. The food is excellent. Autumn View has a nurse on staff 24/7. Their record keeping for medications has been great, and they work closely with Mom's doctors to stay on top of medication changes. When she has a doctor's appointment, I call to let the staff know the day before, and they have her current medication lists ready for the doctor when I come to pick her up for the appointment. When Mom visits us for a weekend, I let them know in advance, and they prepare her medication in packets with the dates and times she is to take them. I never have to be concerned about what to do in terms of her medication. Mom has fallen a couple of times (she is 88 and not as steady as she used to be), and I always get a call letting me know the circumstances and any corrective actions we can take. We have added a night light by her bed and a portable call button to wear around her neck so that she can get immediate assistance should she fall again. Mom is at an age where she doesn't care to get involved in activities, even though there are a number to choose from. Their website has a monthly calendar that lists what they do. Religious services of various kinds are also on-site and regularly scheduled. I am very pleased with the way the facility is run.

My loved one hasn't been here long, and is having a difficult time settling in, but I think the staff of Bethesda Gardens are doing the best they can with the situation. The staff are all very caring, patient, and professional, and they've been very accommodating. The maintenance staff in particular have been quick to resolve any issues we bring up.

My loved one has only been here a short while, but we are very impressed and happy here! For one thing, they don't nickle-and-dime you for everything. They are very accomodating with their care plans. Here, I'm saving about $1,100/month compared to other places. The memort care unit is new, so there aren't that many residents. They really honor your wishes and make sure you're happy - even if that means staying in your room for some peace and quiet. They are accomodating and not over stimulating. Also, being that the building is a little older, the rooms are much bigger! We are real happy here!

Everything has been excellent. I think their pricing is very good. They are quick to take care of any needs and concerns. They have weekly and daily activities. On weekends the parking can be a little difficult, because this is when everyone is visiting. The food is great, we really don't have any complaints.

My Mom really likes Autumn View and I do too. It's safe and clean and the food is good and the staff is friendly. They have a lot of nice activities and a wide variety of food is available.

Our loved one seems to like this place a lot, and we've been very pleased with the service so far! The staff have all been very friendly, and the food has been good overall as well. We haven't had any issues with security, we feel like our loved one is safe here. The other residents in the community are very friendly and seem very sociable.

I am very happy with the people there. She is now on hospice, but she is allowed to stay at Hickory and she is using the hospice care that they recommended. We moved her in in August and she just got out of a 3 week stint in the hospital. Even after this, the staff has already bonded with her. They called right away when they noticed that something was wrong. Hickory is a smaller facility, probably only about 50 units. When I first walked it, it reminded me of the atmosphere of embassy suites. There were skylights and an open atria in the front. There is no hospital smell. If my mom would have had to go on Medicaid, she could have stayed in her same room.

We were looking for an assisted living facility for my Dad who we were relocating from Florida. The staff were friendly, and very helpful.

My experience with Autumn View Gardens has been wonderful. We moved my mother in two weeks ago Monday, and what made it stand out [removed] it was in my price range; the size was appropriate; and the people were very accommodating. It just fit. I highly recommend it - it's been a very smooth transition for my mother. Everything was just perfect. Nothing was out of place. We've had no problems whatsoever. My husband's aunt has been commenting on how much nicer my mother's new apartment is than her old one, and it's a smaller apartment than her last one! There's always 3 nurses in the office at a time - I don't know if they're RN's or CNA's, but everytime I see them, they're working. No one's sitting around. The activities have been lacking lately because the activities director is just getting back from medical leave, so now they're picking back up again.

We chose this community because the staff really pays attention is and is very helpful to their residents and any visitors. My mother used to have a lot of panic attacks and tries to leave the community and the staff is so attentive that she has not become comfortable being there. Deciding on this community was almost like hiring a private nurse. The food is excellent, the care is excellent, and the doctor is wonderful everything is just excellent. I can't say enough good things about Bethesda Gardens. The staff calls me by name every time I am visiting. They really know what they are doing and go beyond to make it better. I literally looked and research at every assisted living community in the Arlington area and Bethesda Gardens really outshined the rest. I am a very particular customer when it comes to my mothers care and I am very pleased and could not be happier. I enjoy this community so much that when the time comes I would love to move myself in. I would highly recommend this community to my closed friends and family.

The grounds are beautiful and the food smells good. The people are friendly and speak to everyone and they make it a point to know their names. They use the same caregiver staff so everything is consistent. They also keep everyone’s medication looked up in each person room to reduce the chances of medication mix up. Plus my father has plenty of intellectual stimulation; some of the residents are former pastors and preachers, which is right up my dad’s alley.

I toured Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living in Ft. Worth, Texas. I was very impressed. They handle everything for you. The food was good, the facility was beautifully furnished and comfortable. Lots of activities, beauty shop, personal bank. They send an aide with your loved one to the doctor and furnish transportation. She loves her new apt. and cannot believe everything is done for her. Consequently, she is doing way better than her original assessment by the hospital! That's what happens when people thrive and are happy. Glad I listened to my senior advisor, who encouraged me and explained things to me. I could not have placed my Mom without her.

Love, love, love this facility. Their concept is wonderful.

Toured the facility on 7/14. It's a wonderful place.

Liked very much but it is more than I can afford.

have visited and am looking further at the costs. very impressed with the facility.

I really liked this place and the way things are arranged and decorated. The pricing is very good.
