Bethesda Health Care Center

at age 54,, i would have never guessed that i would be admitted to a SNF for assistance after a major cervical fusion surgery. I have nothing but praise for all the staff and the therapists. it was a God send to me and a blessing to be there for 2 weeks of my recovery.

My Mother was a patient there for over a year until she passed away this year.She had end stage COPD and CHF.The staff there is wonderful,they took great care of her and treated her like she was there mother or Grandmother.The Nsg Home is clean and i never once smelled any of the normal oders that Nsg Homes have.The staff attended to all of my Mother's needs and she could be demanding at times. The Recreational Department was outstanding it took a while but they were able to get her out to play Bigo and cards..I want to thank the staff for all they did. James Evans

My mother is in Bethesda, which has 24/7 life and medical care. Right now, she probaly doesn’t need all the medical care, but this is the best for her because when she is no longer on private pay, she can stay in the same place and go on to Medicaid. They have the same activities and things like that as other communities. They have activity rooms, a dining room, and a living room. For activities, they have something going on every morning and every afternoon. Usually, they have someone come and get my mother to take her to the dining room for meals, and have someone to come and get her and take her for activities or to get her hair done, then take her back to her room. She can go outside and sit and someone will take her outside. Family can take her outside to eat if the weather’s permitting. It is very nice. I don’t have complaints about it whatsoever.

My mom was in Bethesda nursing care one time before, and that was very nice. I didn't have any problem with them. It was a little larger facility. The care, the comfort, the cleanliness, the food, and everything was just awesome. The security was awesome because they had locked doors, and you had to have passcode. They had the care for therapy and rehabilitation. They had activities like sewing, singing, arts & crafts, movies, and popcorn nights.
