We moved my Mom to Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living after a very disappointing experience at another local Assisted Living, and we have been so impressed and happy with the positive difference of this experience. From our very first of 3 tours with Brandy, our pre-admission assessment with Brandy and the nurse, Chenwe, to the exceptional follow through with all the staff we have encountered, we feel like Bethesda Gardens has gone above and beyond in providing quality care and a warm, inviting home environment. My Mom's apartment was nicely updated/renovated before her move. It is, bright and spacious and has a lovely patio that opens into a nice courtyard. She LOVES her patio and the glass storm door that allows her to look outside when she doesn't feel like going outside. Access to her own patio and to the outside courtyard through her own back door give her a sense of independence that was lacking at her previous Assisted Living. The staff is friendly and attentive, and she likes the food. There are a variety of enrichment activities offered each day. She has chosen not to participate yet, but it is comforting to know there are those opportunities available. I have been impressed with all aspects of our experience including the "behind the scenes" administration and business office, as well as the in-house Rehab Services. Every weekday that I visit, I am warmly greeted by the helpful receptionist, Lexi, and her beautiful, kind smile. The most important thing is that my Mom says she is "happy" here, and that is invaluable. The bonus is that Bethesda Gardens actually costs less than her previous Assisted Living for the same amenities and level of care (plus the patio!). Moving is never easy, but this move was definitely worth it!
