The term Biblical values covers a lot of scope, and often that scope ranges according to doctrine and belief. But there are some values that most Christians can agree on, and at Bethesda Senior Living Communities, we try to live out those values in meaningful, organic ways. And that's true for each of our faith-based assisted living communities. Here are just some ways you can see Biblical values being demonstrated in our assisted living communities...
At Bethesda Senior Living Communities, one of our goals is to ensure that every resident in our communities has what they need to enjoy life. Moving into an assisted living community isn't about winding down and stopping. It's about finding a new path for an active, vibrant lifestyle that includes what you want it to. Whether that's games, time with friends, enjoyable meals, walks outdoors, learning new hobbies or quiet time with God, we've got you covered.
For seniors of faith, inspirational books and movies can do more than entertain for several hours. They can be heartwarming supports for your own faith journey, spark interesting spiritual conversations with others and even help you grow in your own faith. But it's easy to overlook many of these books and movies, and you might have passed them up over the years. Perhaps you didn't have time to read or watch a lot of things on television.

Bethesda Senior Living Communities aim to make the transition into assisted living as smooth as possible, but we also understand this change can be challenging for some.

Jesus holds our hearts through challenging times, and moving into an assisted living...
Many adults struggle with the aging process, but growing older has numerous benefits. Each day, you wake up with more knowledge than you had yesterday. Your wisdom helps you connect with fellow seniors, but it also makes you an inspiration for younger generations.
Retirement comes with a lot of potential perks. One of them is that you can take a break from making many decisions. From what to wear to the office to deciding whether you should talk to someone at work about an issue, you're off the hook from many of these types of details.

Every April, the Stress Management Society supports Stress Awareness Month. The goal is to make people more aware of stress and the dangers it can bring as well as to provide some education about healthy ways to deal with stress. Unfortunately, stress isn't something that goes away when you retire. Even if you make the move into an assisted living community, thus reducing many of the daily stressors that can take up your time (and your money), you aren't 100% free of stress.
With coronavirus headlines proliferating the news cycle, seniors and their family members have probably heard about the importance of good hand washing. But this seemingly easy task can be difficult to remember to do correctly, especially when you aren't used to incorporating it frequently during your day. And many people — of all ages — don't wash their hands long enough or correctly.
Many seniors living in faith-based assisted living communities are well-versed in Scripture and the stories of the Gospels. But many others are just learning some of these stories for the first time or have forgotten some of the stories over the years. No matter what your familiarity with the Bible is, Easter provides an amazing story that you can learn and relearn every year with new wonder.
