Bethesda Senior Living Communities

This is a good community. I would recommend to make sure you tour the dining room. The food was delivered on paper plates, and they were delivered on time. The community could use some additional staff dining room. Autumn View Gardens was always clean when I visited. The grounds are well kept.

We do think the staff team really do try their best but we have had a couple issues here and there - for instance it takes a lot of different steps to get things done. Our loved one has not fully participated in the activities but from what we have seen they seem fine. The value is reasonable and we would recommend this community to other families.

Good community. It was too far from family.

The community had made promises and we haven't seen a lot of delivery of these promises. There is one staff member who responds immediately to the family's questions via text or calls and will even give us suggestions. Then other staff that won't respond to the family to assist us or our loved one with questions or concerns.

Mom really likes it there. A good thing about it that others might like as well is it's small. There are no elevators and no stairs. It's built in a square, so if she leaves her room and keeps going, eventually she'll end up back at her room, which is perfect for her because she likes to walk around but does get lost. So it's perfect for someone like that. All of the caretakers are very good to her. It's one of the more reasonably priced places we looked into. The food could be improved a little. But I like that the residents get a choice if they don't like what's on the main menu - they can always ask for something else, and the staff do a good job of accommodating requests. The dining staff themselves do a good job, it's just that the food could be better. But overall, I think we made a very good choice.

They do their best with what they have. Somedays the food is good, and sometimes it's not. The breakfast is good. The value for the money is pretty good. I picked this community, because It's close to my home.

So far, we're happy with Collinwood Assisted Living and Memory Care.

My mom is doing just great here; she seems to be enjoying it, considering it's assisted living and not her home. They seem very nice and so far I have no huge complaints. It's a laid-back, casual atmosphere. It's not regimented and I think that's good. There aren't a lot of rules, it's quiet, and it's good for my mom.

The best thing is they are friendly. I picked this place because of the location and they seemed to be good when we met. Also, the price was good, and I was happy about that.

Lovely community very well kept and seemed to have very friendly and caring staff.

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.
