We love our apartment! We have a third-floor view overlooking the lake, and we watch the deer and the ducks all of the time. We see people walking and fishing. It’s like having a view of Forest Park right outside our window!

A Plan for the Future

When you make the move to a Bethesda independent senior living community, you are creating a life plan for both now and the future. That’s because Bethesda also offers an array of living options to accommodate those whose health is starting to decline, including assisted living, memory support, and 24-hour skilled nursing care. We also offer a program called Senior Support Solutions that can provide you with some assistance yet let you remain in your apartment.

You can take comfort knowing all of these are Bethesda services, and therefore reflect the commitment to quality for which Bethesda is known. Also, it may be comforting to know that our residents get top priority in case any of these are needed.

Staying. Safer. Together.
