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!
