The Gardens at Collinwood Assisted Living and Memory Care

The Gardens at Collinwood Assisted Living and Memory Care sits near shops, fine dining, and churches, and it offers views of the nearby mountains so you get that mountain lodge feeling with a bit of fresh air since the grounds are spacious and tended nicely, though the building itself has been described as older but still holding up well. The community offers both assisted living and memory care services, with a secured memory care unit and a full-service approach that includes individualized plans for comfort and security, plus there's the BLOOM by Bethesda memory care program that uses five Wellness Petals to focus on well-being and personal attention, alongside a general focus on daily routines, social ties, and ongoing support for both mental and physical health. Residents can choose from apartment sizes, from studio and one-bedroom apartments up to companion suites and two-bedrooms, and each comes with individual heating and air conditioning and built-in emergency systems for peace of mind, while offering both private and semi-private options to balance privacy with chances to connect with neighbors, and gardens out back help keep things feeling cozy and inviting. Being part of Bethesda Senior Living Community, and set up as a faith-based, non-profit group, staff keeps a focus on service and meeting each person where they are, attending to physical, emotional, and spiritual needs with care, which has earned them praise for handling daily caregiving as well as their response to COVID-19. There's scheduled transportation for errands or outings, activity programs to help keep people mentally sharp and physically fit, chances to join in local events, educational offerings, and fitness programs, and some folks come for a short-term or respite stay while others settle in for the long term. Staff keep up a variety of meal options, handle maintenance chores, and stay committed to quality care, wanting folks to feel at home and able to live as full a life as they like with comfort and the right amount of freedom, all in a setting that values social, spiritual, and physical health.
