Thank you for taking the time to tour Bethesda. You are correct in the age of Bethesda. Bethesda dates back to early 60's when it became a retirement community for the Bethesda Baptists. Since that time, it has undergone many transitions and upgrades, however, those will not change the actual age of the building. That being said, the fact that this building has withstood the test of time is a strong testament to those who grace these halls everyday, be it to work or live. You will not find better care or more love and attention than you will at Bethesda on Turkey Creek.

Thank you for your kind words. I would be nothing without my dedicated staff. Everyday they go above and beyond for our residents. I would never be able to do their job and they do it daily with a smile and most of all love. Our residents are blessed and I hope they now realize how blessed they are to be a part of the Bethesda family.
