The Bethesda Experience

"The Gardens on Barry Road is an amazing senior living facility. I moved my Aunt first and then when it came to my father in law 6 months later it was hands down going to be The Gardens on Barry Rd. The facility is amazing, the layout, but the staff I must say you will not find a group of kinder people. I did reach out and tour many places before choosing his senior living and no facility was like The Gardens on Barry Road."

Suzette Jarvis , Family Member

"The environment is beautiful. From the way the apartments are arranged and the central floorplan being user friendly to the tasteful decor makes this place peaceful and feel home like. The staff are personable and go out of their way to be helpful and kind. The admission process was swift and smooth. Housekeeping kept this place sparkling. Medications are administered in a timely manner. The food was super good just because they had so many accommodations to what you might be in the mood to eat. Quality live entertainment was provided as an option as well. The entire staff made this a already good place to a great place to be. The front desk staff always had a positive greeting. Our whole family felt like this was moms home."

Sheri Kerns, Family Member

"It's difficult to put into words how helpful and accommodating the staff was in helping us navigate the path to getting our dad admitted here. They were very thorough, patient and above all, kind. The facility itself really reminds of a nice mid-level hotel, a lot like a Hampton Inn. The facility is EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, well lit, with nice furnishings and very friendly staff. We are very early in our journey here, but if the rest of the journey is anything like the beginning, we'll be very happy. More importantly, dad will be happy."

Matthew Denney, Family Member

"The intake process for both of my parents has been nothing short of pleasant. It has been such a relief to be able to move her to a facility who truly cares about their residents. After talking to several other residents in the last couple of weeks, they all seem very content and happy. My parents as well as other residents have raved about how good the food is! Many of them have come from other facilities where they have expressed their gratefulness to The Gardens at Barry Road. The staff also seem to feel very appreciated. Such a welcoming place. The other staff I have met with have been very kind."

Crystal Tanner , Family Member

"We are so grateful for everything about The Gardens at Barry Road. The place is very beautiful and extremely clean. Our loved one was treated so wonderfully. The staff was so pleasant and they went out of their way to make our loved one feel special. He was dreading moving into assisted living but then didn't want to leave when he had to move on to a long term care facility. I would highly recommend The Gardens at Barry Road. We feel blessed that they had an opening when we needed it. They are AMAZING!"

Christine Upp, Family Member

"Our family was very pleased with the care our mother received during her stay in Memory Care. The hardworking staff ensured that her needs were exceedingly through the ever changing circumstances of dementia. Additionally, using their experience with this disease, they were able to help the rest of our family navigate through this time and kept us well prepared through all phases and my mother’s eventual passing. When searching for facilities like this, it is heart wrenching to hear about the horror stories of what can happen, but we never had to worry about that at The Gardens."
