Bethesda Senior Living Communities

Very nice facility, rooms were spacious and very clean.

It's a transition for all of us to go through, residents and families alike. But the staff are really nice. And as long as you can find a place with nice staff, you can work through anything else. The number one thing is we all want our parents to be happy and be in a place where they can feel special, appreciated, and loved. And that is the case for my loved one here at Bethesda Gardens.

It came down to a tie between Autumn View Gardens and another facility for us. We chose the other facility just due to the locaiton of it. We really liked Autumn View and thought it looked like a great place to have a loved one.

It is a comfortable and clean encouraging family atmosphere. The staff are always helpful and receptive when I call with any questions or concerns. They offer a variety of foods during meal times that my loved one enjoys. They offer a lot of activities including movies, etc.

They could work to improve on their meal service, and the consistency of their house keeping. Overall we have had quite a lot of positive things happen and the administrator as been good to work with.

We had a good tour experience with Autumn View Gardens. One thing I thought was really cool was they did animal therapy so they had smaller animals they brought in for the residents. It was a bigger facility that was more crowded and looked a little more institutional to us which is the reason we did not go with them.

No kitchen manager, a lot of foods are cold meals served on paper plates. The staff that is there are good. They do the best they can. They are short staffed currently. We have reached out for more information as the prices will be raised as of this month.

This is a good place to go. The staff and director make this a good place. Some of the activities available for the residents include Holiday themes, games, music, singalongs, and more for the residents to stay engaged.

I was not impressed with the set up of this community and the way that the residents were housed. It looked like a nursing home and I wanted different for my loved one.

We were not able to go inside to tour since it was during covid. The communication with the staff was nice and they do still keep in touch. The outside of the facility looks old.

As far as cleanliness, that's all there. The staff is friendly and polite. I think they might be able to provide a little more guidance to the residents. Yes, they give them a schedule. But my loved one is forgetful, and I don't think he realizes there are so many opportunities for things to do. I'd like to see them remind him a little bit more about activities and things. We are having some issues with personal hygiene. My loved one is uncomfortable undressing and showering in front of the female caregivers. So we've asked for a male nurse, and that hasn't happened yet. The food is kind of bland as well, but I understand why.

Bethesda Gardens was a nice facility, but it was just too large. It has tons of floor and hallways and I thought my mom would get lost here. The memory care unit alone has 60 residents.

Our loved one is very happy with the meals and dining service. Our first impression was that the staff were very friendly and it seemed like a smaller community, it seemed like a tight-nit atmosphere.

Autumn View Gardens was the first one we took her to and she really liked the people and felt they were very friendly. The apartment size was also big enough for what she was wanting. She didn't want to look anywhere else so it has all worked out great, she is happy here. I would tell others to make sure that you have specific doctors orders and keep an eye and make sure that they follow it and stay on them.

We did a virtual tour with Bethesda Gardens and it was very informative. It was not the right fit because of the visual impairs my loved one has, so we decided to move him into another facility.

Our family had an in person tour before the restrictions and our experience was great. We had a good feeling about the place, but we did not put our loved one there because at the time they did not have a memory care unit, they were just starting the process to open up a memory care unit.

We chose Bethesda because it was a one story building, a smaller community, and a faith based community. It has truly been a life saver for us. Both my loved ones moved in, and my father passed away shortly thereafter. The staff have been extremely caring towards my mother and check on her frequently They've been understanding of all the things that have been going on with her, and are very supportive and willing to help. The care has been excellent. They have taken care of all of her meds, and I no longer have to try to keep up with refills or anything like that . They have been very careful about making sure they're on top of everything. Any time she's pushed her call button, someone has come by in just a matter of minutes. I've been very pleased with the way they interact with her.

Very personable. Virtual tour was very informative! We came with a lot of questions and [name removed] was able to answer all of them!

I chose this facility because I liked the size of the community and the rooms here are larger than any others that we had seen and had more privacy. The food could use some improvement, but it is good. The best part about the community so far has been getting involved with the other residents, they are all very friendly. The staff is also very helpful, friendly, and they are very approachable. I would recommend to others.
