Big on Everything — Especially Individual Care.

Bethesda Dilworth has the distinction of being the largest skilled nursing community in St. Louis. But that’s hardly its only distinction. Ask anyone who lives here—or their family—and you’ll discover that each person here feels like the care they receive has been created just for them.

And that’s just the way we planned it.

Whether your loved one is living in our memory support neighborhood, receiving tender skilled nursing care, or here for our highly-effective short-term rehab & recovery, she or he is certain to feel comfortable, safe and secure.

And with daily therapy sessions—including respiratory therapy seven days a week—that focus on the critical needs of orthopedic, post-surgical and stroke recovery, patients at Bethesda Dilworth rehab faster and find their way home sooner.

It’s all a reflection of Bethesda’s commitment to choice and trust, which runs through everything we do—from our comfortable private rooms and beautiful but safe outdoor spaces to chef-prepared meals and cutting-edge therapy. And you’ll be inspired by the staff and medical professionals at Bethesda Dilworth, who take expertise and compassion to another level.

If you’re starting to envision your loved one at Bethesda Dilworth, this video will make it even easier.

Not Just Big, but Big on Comfort and Compassion.

In addition to the unparalleled care your loved one will receive at Bethesda Dilworth is the impressive quality of life. The private rooms are bright, spacious and equipped with all the modern comforts of home. There’s a beautiful courtyard perfect for visiting with loved ones and relaxing. The community spaces, including the living rooms and family lounge, are inviting, modern and comfortable. And the list of amenities—like a beauty salon, library and boutique—offers the perfect combo of convenience and easy living.

Also, thanks to “It’s Never 2 Late,” (iN2L), a computer-based program that provides unique, meaningful experiences to stay connected, our 24/7 skilled nursing (and memory support) staffs have more time to provide the personal care that’s so essential to staying active, engaged and flourishing.
