Bethesda Gardens provides an environment that is designed as a community for living instead of merely existing. Our philosophy emphasizes person-centered supports and individual autonomy to the greatest extent possible. We strive to encourage a sense of community between individuals and collaborative organizational decision making and responsibility. We arrange each apartment around a special neighborhood environment instead of hallways and isolation. Our residents are redefining their lives by participating in a number of social programs which include everything from card games (Bridge, Rummy, poker, etc.), special interest groups (crafts, gardening, golf, book reviews etc.), lecture series (topics include: politics, education, science, cooking, religion/spirituality etc.)and an extensive health and fitness program that includes Senior Yoga and Senior Tai Chi.
