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.

As a family member with a long term resident at Villagio, I find it saddening that people put such tacky reviews to their experience at Villagio. I have seen first hand the way some family members treat and talk to the staff and I can assure you that if I had any job where I was treated and disrespected that badly, then I would quit also. I applaud the staff and management at Villagio of Carrollton and would recommend them to any friend or loved one. If I felt that my loved one was living somewhere that was as bad as some of these reviews claim, I can assure you that I would not let them continue living there, especially for 5 years.

This community has nice, welcoming staff. It is kept clean all around the place. There are activities but my dad has not stayed long enough to be interested. My dad enjoys the food. I would recommend this community to any one who needs assistance.

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!

There was a prompt response to my online request and I appreciated the follow up. Though was a little much all at once and feels overwhelming while going through it. I just wanted to look and read up and check out reviews of places before making decisions and I felt slightly pressured to act immediately. Other than that, I appreciate the resource

The room she is in is part of a suite. The main door opens into a kitchenette, with a large closet on the opposite side, then ends in a large, shared bathroom. Each bedroom has it's own locking door. She has the better of the 2 as she has a door out to a small private deck, and a large window. It is a warm space and she really likes it. The staff are wonderful. They really care. I returned her to the facility from Rehab yesterday and the first question from the nurse in duty to her was, "are you hungry? Can I get you a snack?" We went thru the important stuff eventually, but she was wanting to know how she felt, first. Says a lot. She says the food is very good, she actually really likes her PT & OT therapists, and looks forward to working with them. It shows. The only down was her suite mate. For the first 6 weeks or so she did not have one so she had time to adjust to her new spot. Then Janet came. She was not, as it turned out, supposed to be in this level of a facility. In addition to needing much heavier care, she was also a kleptomaniac. My aunt had to keep her door locked at ALL times, even while she used the bathroom. I did not know until yesterday that she was doing it to all the other residents as well. They were almost gleeful when they stopped to tell us she was gone. The staff said she was simply beyond their level of care, and apologized to my aunt for putting her in that suite. As I said before, they CARE.

I moved into to The Gardens the end of September. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Moving in or out anywhere is a very trying situation so i am very grateful for the friendliness of the community. Moving is a big adjustment but with all the activities you get to meet a little of people who are willing to help if needed. I believe my decision to move to The Gardens was the best one at the time for me.

Bethesda gardens is a good place for the price level. Love the woman, [name removed], who manages the front ( sign in ) desk. [name removed] the activities director and [name removed] are also great. We also appreciate [name removed]( first name) In nursing department as well. Seems like the maintenance department is quick to respond and thorough too. We like how Bethesda Gardens orders , refills, and dispenses all of mom's meds several times daily as well. We really love the fact that all ( most?) Bethesda Gardens rooms have a front door which leads to indoor hallway AND a back door with a wooden door and a security all-glass door that leads to either a sm porch or the courtyard filled with sidewalks , trees, flowers, ... we LOVE the back door! It makes a place much more like a home. She can open her wooden back door and allow the light and view in through the glass door. They are allowed to have pets there and Mom's cat , Trixie, loves looking out the door. Some rooms overlook a field filled with little bunnies hopping around at dusk and dawn.

There is always room for improvement. Overall, it has been a great environment for Dean's mom. The apartment sizes are great. She seems to like the food. The staff that we have interacted with are wonderful. The only other feedback for improvement would be to have some communication about outside services that we get billed for. I'm talking about the podiatrist, it would be helpful to have some kind of confirmation of service so we know that the billing is valid.

My mother in law enjoyed the staff and activities. The food was ok. I thought their meals were a little high in carbs and sugar for people with memory issues, but they did make clear that they did not provide a therapeutic diet so that was to be expected.

My Mom really liked it there. Her studio had a balcony and she really liked that. It does need to be upgraded in certain areas, but all in all she really enjoyed it there
