Faith
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the practice of observing Lent started. But there's evidence that it goes back to the early days of the church. There are references to it back in the second and third centuries, but it became a more formalized practice once Christianity was legalized in A.D. 313.
Senior Living Options
The decision of whether or not to move into an assisted living community can be a difficult one. Any move is a big deal, and trying to decide if this is the right time to enter a community like those under the Bethesda Senior Living Communities umbrella is not a decision to be made lightly. There are obviously more than a few things for you to consider when making your decision. Here are a few reasons why the move might just be the right thing for you.
Faith
Faith is often a crucial component of people’s lives. It can help people to get through hard times or find meaning in their lives. For people of faith, maintaining faith practices is often vital to supporting mental health and quality of life.As an organization founded as a faith-based non-profit, Bethesda Senior living Communities understands this well. Part of our mission to serve seniors includes trying to provide ways to nurture and enrich their spiritual health. One of the best ways this can be done is through encouraging Bible study.
Faith
The book of Genesis is more than the beginning of the Bible. It’s more than the account of the creation and the history that follows. It's a wonderful book filled with many life lessons that can help anyone at any age. But that said, there are also some excellent lessons that are beneficial to residents of our Bethesda Senior Living Communities.
Faith

Health & Wellness
Stress is a natural part of life. While it gets a bad rap as a negative force mentally and physically, the National Institute of Mental Health notes that not all stress is bad. It's actually a necessary reaction that helps you deal with dangerous situations and can motivate you to accomplish certain tasks. But abnormal or long-term stress can have significant negative consequences on mental or physical health.
