Bethesda Terrace was so welcoming when I first arrived and they still are! I enjoy the Happy Hours, Bingo's, Food Clubs and more! The Dining Room is wonderful, and the staff is all so kind. I am thankful for the Tuesday Shuttle Trips and Outings. Since I no longer drive, this is a blessing. My Housekeeper is amazing and is always cleaning. Overall, I am extremely happy to be here.

I am so thankful I was able to bring my two cats with me! Peter and Paul are my fur babies. Being a Pet Friendly Community is what really sold me on moving here. The employees are all friendly and helpful. I feel like I can ask anyone a question and get an honest answer!

I am so glad I made Bethesda Terrace my home. I can go on the grocery shuttle every Tuesday. I no longer have to worry about driving myself for Dr. Appointments as Bethesda has a Van that can take us to and from our doctor appointments. Everyone here is so kind and I have made many new friends! The Happy Hours on Fridays are my favorite events to go to! When the weather is nice, I enjoy sitting out back and hearing our beautiful waterfall!
