Bethesda Senior Living Communities

Both my parents now live here. They are both doing well and have settled in easily. They enjoy the activities, the people, and the food. There have been a few miscommunications on my dad's meds and how they would be handled. This includes the meds my dad had prescribed before he moved in and the new meds he's been prescribed since he moved in. There needs to be better communication on what is expected from the resident and what is provided by the staff. There was also some misunderstanding when my mom moved in. Somehow, the staff thought she was coming from a rehab facility instead of coming from her home - fully independent. They kept wanting her to do further physical therapy. We're not sure where this false info came from. Also, my mom ended up with an ADA compatible apartment in which all of the counters are lower and there is less drawer space. My mom is 5'9" so the shorter counters don't work so well and we had to purchase/provide additional furniture with drawers. We were not informed prior to move in that it was an ADA compatible unit. We were just told that it was similar to my dad's which is not ADA compatible.

Our tour of Broadmoor Court was most informative and enjoyable. The ladies who conducted the tour were knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating as were others on the staff including food service personnel and custodial. We were very impressed with the facility and the atmosphere. The residents seemed interested and congenial.

The marketing agent was super---attentive, sensitive, quickly adapting her "spiel" to the information we needed. We would move in tomorrow if these places for independent living didn't cost so much. Maybe some day! When we're ready, Viewpointe would be our first choice.

He is in the memory care side of this community. The morning staff is fantastic with him. They even take the time out to call me if i need to know anything or if he is running low on something so I don't have to make multiple trips. I'm not sure what's wrong with the afternoon staff I guess I just don't know them. It is clean and kept up. They have a secured patio he can go out on if he wants. I would recommend this community.

I liked Collinwood from the moment I walked through the front door, with the large fireplace and comfy chairs and engaged folks chatting with one another as they waited for the activities bus to take them on an excursion. The staff is extremely attententive, kind and quick to serve. We especially want to thank [Removed] for making the choice easy for us and the transition smooth for my mom. We especially like the fact that mom has a wonderful Physician's Assistant in house along with P.T.

Everything is going very well for my mother at this community so far. The staff have all been attentive to her needs and have made sure that they she is receiving great quality of care. She has had no complaints about the food and has enjoyed participating in activities from time to time. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone interested.

My father is doing really well, he is adjusting and the staff has been very helpful. The facility is clean and organized. What we liked most about this place while choosing was the availability and price. Also, we liked the fact that it is all on one floor, so we don't have to worry about stairs.

The entire staff at this community are easy to get along with and seem to like their job. They have a low turnover rate. The caregivers are encouraging. The food is great and they do a great job with activities. This is one of the cleanest communities I have seen. This is a not for profit community. Any profit they may receive is used towards mission trips overseas.

The community is a great place and has fantastic staff who provide care for the residents. Although it cost greatly, it has been worth it. I like how excellent and friendly every staff has been with grasping Alzheimer, we liked the community for my mom. She was cared for very well and she loved it.

Since my mother has made the move into this community she has made a lot of improvements including her social skills. She has involved her self with all of the great activities they have to offer throughout the week and really enjoys the company of the other residents. All of the staff make you feel like an extended family. They all know my name and make sure to keep in good contact with me about any updates or concerns of my mom. Overall I am very pleased with her experience so far.

We liked it enough that that is where my friend now resides. It was the fourth facility we toured and it seemed to put more "assist" into the "assisted living" .

I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff is at this community. The community is clean and well taken care of. The food is not that great. They offer a variety of activities to enjoy.

My mother is 90 years old and had reached the point that she needed more care than could be provided in her home. After months of research (A Place for Mom was a tremendous resource!), I chose The Gardens at Barry Road for several reasons. It is very close to all our family, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly and most have been there for many years, which says a lot to me, and during my research I learned of several people I know who had relatives or friends there at one time or another and all of them spoke very highly of The Gardens. There have been a few glitches with scheduling some personal care services, but overall a very positive experience. My mother was not in favor of the move (to be expected), but she has settled in very well, has made friends, and is doing extremely well in her new home.

Our experience with Autumn View Gardens has been a very positive one, overall! It's a very nice looking place, and the people here all seem very friendly and caring. I toured quite a few places in the area and Autumn View really stood out in terms of the level of care and service they provide. Really my only complaint is that I think the evening meals they serve could be a bit better, but other than that I've been very impressed by everything here!

We're very pleased with how things have gone at Bethesda Gardens, I'd give them high marks across the board. It's a nice looking place, and although the move-in was a bit rocky my parents seem to have settled in well. The people here are friendly and professional, and while I do think some of their admin processes leave a little to be desired, overall it is a very nice place.

All the people at Bethesda have been wonderful in helping my mother in law become part of their community. They have answered endless questions from us and my father in law and helped ease our transition.

The staff was very friendly and genuinely cared about my mother. At times responses to her needs were a little slower than we would have liked but this is an assisted living facility not a nursing home. The staff did a nice job of keeping up with her medicine. They were knowledgeable about her activities, eating habits and any concerns I had. They also made her feel welcome and part of the Autumn View community. One very nice feature is each apartment has a patio, so she could go outside easily, which was a big bonus for taking care of her dog, who lived with her there. She had a very smooth transition from her private home to Autumn View. We were very pleased with our experience.

Beautiful building, close to shopping which is important to my mom. Close to I-25, important to me. The staff was very friendly and genuine in their concern for the residents well-being. Like the fact that it is a non-profit.

Bethesda Gardens is a bright and homey living option. We enjoy the personal service, the maintenance, and the convenience of the building layout. The halls are warm and bright,and the apartments have much natural light with lovely natural views.

nice and clean, 3 wonderful meals included daily, apartment cleaning and laundry included weekly, activities and "field trips" daily, expanded package cable TV included - phone is the only thing not included but the price is very reasonable compared to other places
