Why Bethesda?

Moving into a retirement residence is more than a change of address - it's a whole lifestyle change. One that requires trust and the promise of many tomorrows. Hiring an aid or home health nurse and inviting them into your home requires faith in knowing you are receiving the best care when and where you need it most.

Moments like these require the experience and solid reputation of an institution like Bethesda Health Group. Many third-party organizations have given their stamp of approval to Bethesda. For example:

Bethesda Health Group has been named to the region's "Top 50," a designation awarded by the Regional Chamber and Growth Association. Bethesda and the other winners were selected based on their significant contributions to the St. Louis region and how they have positively affected the future of our business community.

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations has awarded its Gold Seal of ApprovalŠ to each of Bethesda's skilled nursing residences, Bethesda Dilworth, Bethesda Southgate and Bethesda Meadow. The Joint Commission is dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of the nation's health care through voluntary accreditation. Each of Bethesda's skilled nursing residences received Joint Commission accreditation after on-site reviews which found Bethesda had demonstrated compliance with the Joint Commission's national standards for long term care.

Bethesda Health Group is an active member of Missouri Association of Homes for the Aging (MoAHA), the association of non-profit care providers. As a member, Bethesda has adopted MoAHA's three-part commitment to providing long-term care:

1. A holistic approach to care. Working toward the goal of meeting the total physical, social, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs of the individuals we serve.
2. Community outreach and involvement by and within our facilities in an effort to enhance the quality of life of Missouri's elderly residents. This is achieved through working with volunteer trustees, community leaders, family members and volunteers.
3. Continuum of Care . Building on the established role of not-for-profit homes and services for the aging by identifying, developing and offering a full range of affordable long-term housing and health care services in and around our communities.
