Bethesda Senior Living Communities

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

My father had to move into an assisted living residence quite unexpectedly. And we're we fortunate. I couldn't be happier with the facilities nd staff. He gets specialized personal care round the clock. The staff is so friendly and caring. They are always close by with their personal assistance. The activities are varied and frequent. They have worked with us to accommodate Dad with the best rooms available for his needs. What I appreciate is that we aren't nickel and dimed for every service they perform. The monthly price includes everything! No additional or hidden charges! They even take care of his medications so that aren't monthly trips to a pharmacy. They have one in-house! We couldn't be more happy with Autumn View Gardens! We would recommend it to anyone looking for a place where they know their loved ones will be taken good care of!

My experience has been good. The staff seems to care and take good care of dad. They've addressed anything that I've needed and the food seems good so our experience overall has been a wonderful experience

I liked having a receptionist and sign in/out. Layout of the gardens from entry to dining area is very inviting, clean, food wasn't bad, liked being able to "run a tab" so we could eat w/mom. Didn't like the pharmacy used-take advantage of convenience of delivery etc and prices were crazy. Mom enjoy daily excercise class and staff was pleasant. I loved being able to ring the dog for visits too! Other residents enjoyed as well!!

Overall this is a very nice community - clean, spacious, attractive, with a beautiful dining room, attractive private or shared rooms, and staff that really seem to care about your loved ones' health and wellbeing. And The Gardens at Broadmoor Court is noticeably cheaper than our last facility. My only desire is that perhaps they hire a few more administrative staff. This place is understandably popular and seems to be hopping most of the time, so the staff sometimes seem like they're rushing to keep up. Still they do a great job with what they have and I'm very happy we moved my grandmother here, even if she says the food is just "okay". I've tried it several times and think it's actually pretty good.

Some of the staff are very nice and have been working there for a very long time. But others come and go. They are supposed to have someone awake and on duty in the assisted living area 24/7 but at least once the overnight attendant was found sleeping on a sofa and not responding to calls. They did go through a period when many of the residents and staff were ill, but no one was tested for Covid and no notices went out. Also they are supposed to let you know if your family member or person you serve as POA for has a change in medication or a health complaint of any kind. I've never received such notice and there have been new medications prescribed for my friend. Also, I have sent emails to the executive director three times and called once, but never heard back from her. She was really nice when I first met her and when I went in to sign the lease agreement, etc. but now just does not respond. My emails were not nasty or complaints -- just requests for info re long-term care funded by the state. Just no response at all.

I give the health in the food quality is poor. Other than that it is good. I loved it until I found out the food was making us sicker. I would rate it a 4 star or less until I can get the food nutrition quality improved. I am working on that. So a 3 or 4 because the food is not the quality it was advertised to be and it wasn't straight forward . I pray for changes soon.

They are excellent, with a couple of minor glitches. Almost 5! Everyone, from nursing to dining staff to maintenance is so very caring, and will troubleshoot with you about solutions to problems. Activities are great. The most like "home" of anyplace we visited.

I have had no negative interactions and observed no negligent actions to date. Everyone I have encountered has been courteous and committed to the residents. They contact me often with care needs and medical concerns of my father. I have no major complaints.

The option to be all inclusive is my favorite as well as the area and all the grass. The administrative staff can be rude when you go in to ask a question or get information. They don't greet when you walk in and are short with answering questions. I avoid going in there. [name removed] is the only one who isn't initially rude.

My mom is happy here. The staff is wonderful, especially her aide, [name removed]. Right now they don't have an activity director, and she misses exercise classes. They are hiring a replacement. [name removed] at the front desk is amazing. The food (which is such an important part of daily activity) doesn't have a lot of variety. Overall, thought, it's a great value and we are satisfied.
