New name. New logo. Same quality service.

Christian Extended Care & Rehabilitation - Bethesda | BJC HealthCare

The portion of the community in which independent seniors live in their own private apartments will continue to be called Village North Retirement Community.

“We realized that the double use of the ‘Village North’ name could be causing confusion with those looking for either independent living or skilled nursing for their loved ones or themselves,” says Roger Byrne, Executive Vice President & CFO of Bethesda Health Group and the 2018 President of the Village North Board of Directors. “We also realized the advantages of aligning with Christian Hospital and its reputation for quality, conscientious care for residents of North County and their families.”

Currently rated as a five-star community by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the area of Quality Services, the skilled nursing and long-term care services at Christian Extended Care & Rehabilitation are provided by the experienced professionals from Bethesda, which owns the community along with BJC HealthCare.

In addition, Bethesda provides rehabilitation and therapy services at all of its skilled nursing communities, Christian Extended Care & Rehabilitation included.
