The Choice for Senior Living

The transition to an assisted living or memory care community is no easy decision—for seniors or their families. For seniors, we understand the concerns of giving up your home and the fear of losing autonomy.

It means residents thrive in the company of others—while still having the privacy of their cozy apartments and autonomy to come and go as they are able.

We are very pleased with the quality of care that is provided at Bethesda Gardens. The facility and everyone working there is amazing. A bright and clean facility, great dining and recreational areas and apartment hallways are very wide and accommodating for residents using wheelchairs or walkers.<br>The living accommodations are great, Dad has a 1 bedroom that was completely re-done before he moved in and it is very spacious and even has a patio area of his own.<br>We are very happy we found Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living and know Dad will make friends and enjoy his new apartment.

We met with Cristina Cook, Sales and Marketing Director, to gather information about the facility while exploring the possibility of moving a family member in. Our experience was very positive. Cristina was warm, understanding, and compassionate, and she took the time to address our questions and concerns thoroughly.

We recently moved our Dad to BG Assisted Living in 2026. We have been very pleased with the extra help by the staff with this move! The Caregivers and Activities Director have been amazing — and helping Dad meet new people. He likes the 3 meals/day too!

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
