PositiveI am/was a resident of this facility
After my hip replacement, I wasn't sure I'd be able to get back to living independently, but the therapy team here gave me so much confidence. They challenged me every day while making sure I felt safe. The nursing staff was attentive, my room and the facility was always clean, and everyone, from housekeeping to dietary, treated me with kindness. I left stronger than I expected, and I'm so grateful for the care I received.

Our loved one reported a physical assault by a roommate. This facility did not notify us, nor did they provide accurate information when questioned about it. Continuity of care is lacking.

We tried our best to keep him there, but it got to the point that my dad needed to go into a nursing home. Due to the increase of Covid cases in December, most nursing homes closed their doors to new patients. Our only option was this place. My fathers first day was traumatic. Another patient, his roommate, got up in his fac…

I DO NOT recommend this facility. In my experience, the medical staff does not work as a “team.” Medications are changed without consultation of each other or with outside consultation of patients’ providers. Or with the knowledge and consent of the patient or their proxy. Patients’ belongings never get received when family brings it to them. Nor returned when they are discharged. My family member was fearful of the nursing staff and often felt their reports or complaints will be followed by retaliation. The nurses…

Bethesda Health and Rehab has made some personnel changes that are going to make the admissions process much smoother. Some people were upset with the way their process worked before but it has now added more people to enhance its quality of care.
