Bethesda Gardens Memory Care Community offers assisted living and memory care for seniors, with a faith-based approach that emphasizes benevolence and personal relationships. The facility has a range of apartment sizes, from studio to two-bedroom suites, including memory care one-bedroom apartments at 480 square feet and private studios at 380 square feet, and assisted living options up to 595 square feet. Each apartment has an emergency call system and individually controlled thermostats, and residents can bring in their own furnishings to make the space feel like home. The community provides home-cooked meals in shared dining rooms, and staff help residents with bathing, grooming, dressing, and bathroom needs, always available around the clock. Trained caregivers and nurses supervise medical needs, manage medications, provide help for residents needing insulin shots or two-person transfers, and follow personalized wellness plans based on nurse assessments.
The building is secure and comfortable, with brightly lit lounges, landscaped grounds, secure outdoor walking paths, and friendly neighborhoods. Residents can use a library, a fitness room, a salon, a parlor, and outdoor spaces like gardens and walking paths. Activities are planned every day, such as music programs, art, group exercise, movie nights, spiritual services, animal therapy, and board games, all designed to support social, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. The community uses the BLOOM by Bethesda program for those with memory impairments and follows the Wellness Petals plan to guide daily care and support. Special activities like cognitive-enhancing games, community-sponsored events, and resident-run activities help residents stay active and engaged.
The staff at Bethesda Gardens Memory Care Community can help with specific nutrition needs, like diets for high blood pressure or diabetes, and provide transportation for important errands, doctor's visits, shopping, and religious services. Memory care programs are personalized for those with dementia or Alzheimer's and include strategies for managing anxiety, wandering, and sundowner syndrome, with training done through Care Partners. The community offers respite care, hospice care, and independent living options, always focusing on comfort and dignity. With support from the Bethesda Foundation and a presence in several states including Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, and Arizona-communities such as The Gardens at Broadmoor Court, The Gardens at Collinwood, and Bethesda Gardens Loveland-families can find locations close to them. Residents live in a home-like atmosphere with gardens and have assistance available at all times, with calendar-based schedules for social, educational, and recreation events. The focus always remains on safety, well-being, and offering a purposeful life to each resident.
