Bethany Living sits on a quiet street in Gaithersburg, Maryland, in a cozy ranch-style house with only five assisted living units, and you'll find a relaxed place with private and shared rooms, gathering spots like a living room and a TV room, a garden and deck out back, wheelchair accessible showers, and lots of windows for natural light, and folks here can choose between studios, one-bedroom, and shared rooms, some with kitchenettes, and everyone gets 24-hour supervision by staff who know how to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and getting around safely. Bethany Living's got services for people who need help with things like Parkinson's disease and feeding, and they can also assist with transfers, including if you need a mechanical lift or standby help, and they're set up to keep residents safe if they're at risk for wandering, using bracelets with alarms and a computer system that keeps an eye on the doors, and the memory care area's got extra security and a setup for people with dementia who might have behaviors that are hard to manage.
Staff's got awake caregivers day and night, with nurses-RNs and LPNs-on hand, a nurse practitioner as the medical director, and a doctor available on call, and a team that can handle insulin shots, help with special diets like diabetes or allergies, and coordinate visits with physical, occupational, or speech therapists, and there's housekeeping, laundry, trash removal, coordination with outside care, and transportation options. There's a beauty and barber shop, in-house pharmacy, on-site parking, community café, a snack shop, and fresh food from a culinary chef so everyone can get meals made to order, whether kosher, vegetarian, or just ordinary home-style cooking, with all-day dining, scheduled meals, and a private dining room for special events, and folks who need help can get assistance during meals too.
Residents get custom care plans, care for memory problems or advanced needs, and can stay through different stages since Bethany Living provides assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing care, adult care home, respite, home care, hospice care, and even help for those with behavior or cognitive trouble. The community helps with move-in planning, gives out advice and referrals, and has different floor plans with payment options on request. Social activities happen both inside and outside, like arts and crafts, games, gardening, movie nights, and walks on the garden's path, and the whole place stays tidy and calm, with a steady staff known for being sincere and helpful. Bethany Living has another place over in Frederick, and their reviews land an 8.7 out of 10, mostly for their clean and quiet spots, fresh meals, and positive feedback on how staff treat residents like people. The setup lets most people stay put as their care needs change, and people with Alzheimer's or dementia are kept secure and supported, while others can enjoy an independent routine with help as needed, so Bethany Living does its best to support folks through all kinds of changes in later life, always aiming for comfort, safety, and a little bit of homelike charm.
