This care home is outstanding. From their warm, attentive staff to the pristine and welcoming environment, every detail reflects their dedication to resident wellbeing. Families feel supported and confident, knowing their loved ones are cared for with professionalism and heart. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking excellence in care.

I went to visit and the place is under staffed and the workers look so overwhelmed! I would never leave my family in this place. Clearly Auxiliary House doesn't care about their staff!! I wouldn't Recommend this place to ANYONE!!!!

I cannot express enough my gratitude for this place existing. My dear father receives the best possible care from a staff of warm, capable and committed healthcare workers. Apart from their stellar care for patients, the community at Auxiliary House is small and so I know each patient is getting the attention they need. The environment is warm and inviting. Location is also great, in a nice Bethesda neighborhood where my father and I can take walks. Cannot recommend enough.

It's been a big adjustment for all of us, but Ruthie, Jennese, Omie and the rest of the staff have been very supportive of us as well as mom. Very caring and patient caregivers. When we have a concern, we can contact someone and they'll get back to us right away. Very happy we picked Auxiliary House!
