Mom really likes it here at Christian Extended Care & Rehab. She and her roommate get along great, and she loves participating in the Activities. I am sent an Activities calendar every month and I’m able to check to see which ones she’s been participating in. It keeps her social, and it makes her happy. What a great way to know that a loved one is having a good experience!

If you knew Aunt Jessie, you wouldn’t be surprised to learn she is now friends with all the staff, and she treats some of them like they are her adoptive family and children! But it’s not just her – they give individual attention to all of the residents. They treat her with lots of love, kindness and compassion. It’s very comforting to know she is living in a place with that much love.

Staying. Safer. Together.

At Christian Extended Care & Rehabilitation—like every Bethesda community—our highest priority is your health and safety. That’s why we were monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak months before others, and were among the first to provide vaccines for our residents and staff. After more than 130 years, we’ve learned that being proactive is a healthier choice than being reactive.
