Bethesda Senior Living Communities

eliminated - not what we are looking for

Very clean and hospitable. Shannon [removed] was very kind and a great help.

I've met some wonderful people here; friends and management. It's a lot different than being in my mobile home. I like to do puzzles here. I like the different programs. i really liked the drummer. I like to play cards here, too.

The caregivers are very helpful and the response time is great! I really like the food and the alternative menu has lots of choices.

We are very pleased with this community.My relative has adjusted well to the community, and seems happy here. Everything is going very well, and the care givers are very sweet. The staff is very good at what they do, they have been very helpful and welcoming. They offer great activities at this community, she has gone on some good outing trips. She likes the food, and I've seen the menu and meals look good. I would recommend this community, they have very good rates.

This community worked out very well for us I do feel they are doing a good job of caring for my mother. We had one issue with the cleaning, but they did quickly resolve it. The staff is friendly and welling to listen to your concerns. There are good activities like travel trips work out classes so they keep the residents busy. I would say the food is good. It is a little expensive, but I would recommend it this is a nice community.

Things are going good. Right now she is saying it's a temporary thing, but hopefully she will start viewing it as permanent. The only thing she complains about is the food. Everything is going pretty good.

It's going very well here. If we have a problem or a request, the staff makes sure they take care of it. The building is a little older, but they keep it very clean, and the place has a nice homey feel.

So far, everything is going well. We like it there. The staff is great, the facility is great and we don't have any complaints.

Autumn View Gardens is a good place. Everything is fine here. Mom doesn't participate in any activities there. I have no complaints. The experience has been just fine.

It's only been two weeks since my mother moved in and there are things to be ironed out yet.

We toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The Gardens was a very nice looking assisted living community! The facility itself was clean and well kept, and the staff we met all seemed friendly. They are definitely worth a look if you're searching for options in the area!

Friend came here and is really happy. Everyone is so friendly, staff and residents.

This is a community that is like family. The residents go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. You know it's scary moving somewhere when you don't know anyone. My mom made 5-10 friends by the time she moved in and that was important to her and me! They are remodeling, which iam not sure why cause it sure looks nice now, but guess will even be better!

very clean. seemed pricey. not a big complex. no physician on staff , not able to have them take u on errands. have to eat at scheduled meal times. staff friendly, residents appeared happy. small rooms. staff ratio is 15-1

Nice, clean facility. Activity director gave me a tour and answered all questions. I like the ratio of care directors to staff. There are options at each meal, activities, on and off premises. Priced well within the range I am seeking.

Placement occurred 2 weeks ago, so not a lot to report. The Community is very clean and does not smell. Still trying to work out some kinks as staff gets to know husband. Food could be better. Did report problem with food one day to Director. They seem to care about the individuals & try to accommodate. This is just a very tough job. I looked at several communities and choose this one because of private room & bath and cleaniness. I am still doubting my decision for placement, but I understand this is normal for spouse. This is a memory care facility & I feel my husband is not on same level (not a progressed with disease) . Wondering if I should have waited on placement. Maybe I should have visited several more times, I did visit 3 times at different times of day, but you need to see activities and meal time.

perfect location.....one-bedroom unit available on ground level...Peter likes it because it is located near his friends

It's not the type of assisted living that would be appropriate for my dad. It's a really nice place but they have to be able to get around on their own there. They will help with medicines and stuff like that but they don't bathe them or do extra thing that that there. When we were first looking my father was more able and we had about decided that's where we were going to go. Then he fell and broke his leg and that changed the whole scenario.

(Activities Not Rated) The community had a couple of selling points but once we moved in and signed the contact those selling points were not longer pushed. One of those points was that they had an RN on staff but we found out the RN wasn't really certified. They weren't coming in to clean up our loved ones room. When we brought up concerns and request they would address them but we had to bring them up. There was recently a big turn over of the staff from the CEO to the maintenance staff and things have been getting better. They now have a certified RN on the staff. The food has improved along with several other parts of the community. It seems like the new staff genuinely care about the residents and really want to provide them with the best care. The one problem that is still around is that the elevator is not dependable; one of the times we were there they had to take meals up to the residents before the elevator was not functioning. Overall it is a pretty good community that has only been getting better with the new staffing.
