I would like to express my utmost gratitude and satisfaction with the outstanding care provided by…read morethe Bethesda Gardens for my Mom. We found Bethesda Gardens when we were looking for respite care for my Mom while we were out of town. A few months later, she requested that she go live there full time, due to the friends she met, the activities and the great food. Post COVID, my wife and I had to go back into the office and she was missing the companionship. We started her out in assisted living and she was very independent; but as her needs progressed, Bethesda had options, including the all-inclusive apartments that made the her care affordable. Once her memory declined, we were able to move her to Memory Care within the same community. My Mom enjoyed the activities, especially bingo. Once she moved to Memory Care, the activities aligned with dementia and gave them structure throughout the day. The staff members, including the directors, nurses, med-techs and caregivers, displayed an unmatched level of compassion and dedication. It was evident that they genuinely care for the residents and prioritize their well-being. They establish genuine relationships and strive to meet the unique needs of each individual. The caregivers go above and beyond to ensure that my Mom receives personalized attention, support, and a sense of belonging. They not only assist in daily activities, but also provide emotional support and companionship. It is evident that they genuinely care for the residents as if they were their own family members. Furthermore, the level of communication and transparency between the staff and families is exemplary. This fosters trust and reassurance for families, knowing that their loved ones are in capable hands. They were with us to the very end and gave comfort to my Mom as she transitioned to Heaven. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this assisted living facility to anyone seeking a supportive and comfortable home for their loved ones. It has provided my Mom with a sense of independence, while also ensuring her safety and well-being. Thank you to the entire team for making my mom's golden years truly golden.

Mother went into Memory Care there in late June, she wasn't there four days until she fell. She…read morewas hospitalized for around 10 days got back and then fell again two weeks later and broke her hip, then was in Rehab for around three weeks. The only thing they do there is to feed them, and the food was not great. At times we found her nails to be dirty as if they had not bathed her, then she got lice. She never had lice in her entire 90 years. On top of that she just passed away a few days ago. I found her in the dining room slumped over in her wheelchair with snot coming out of her nose and they were not even paying attention. Two days before that she was fine. I had to bring it to the med tech's attention and asked her to get the nurse. The nurse came about 10 minutes later and acted like her condition was of no concern. When the hospice nurse came to check on her, she was running a fever and appeared to have an infection. Four days later she died. Had they paid closer attention to her condition we might have been able to save her. Additionally, since she was only there half the month, they have figured out a way to keep most of her fees for the month instead of refunding them as they should. Don't place your loved one there or you could end up with the same story we had.
