One of the newest and most innovative assisted living/memory support communities in the area 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. Bethesda Dilworth's homelike setting fosters a unique sense of independence where residents are inspired to develop their own interests. Charming living rooms and welcoming dining rooms accommodate friends and family so that residents can enjoy treasured time with their loved ones.

THE SENIOR SUPPORT SERVICES YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED THEM. At the core of every Bethesda experience lie our unwavering commitments: Trust and Choice. This holds particularly true with Bethesda support services. Each individual has unique motivations for opting to maintain independence, resulting in their own distinct requirements. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all approach (which, in truth, isn't a solution), we tailor our senior support services precisely to address your specific needs, preferences, schedule, and financial considerations.

Amenities
While amenities are delightful, nothing quite compares to the human touch that enriches each day, making encounters more pleasant and activities more enjoyable. For individuals coping with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, our dedicated Memory Care unit provides supervised access to a secure outdoor garden, inviting common areas with scenic views, and specialized activities tailored to enhance their quality of life. Additionally, within the Bethesda Dilworth campus, you'll discover The Oaks at Bethesda, a community of villa homes ranked among St. Louis' premier retirement options, and Bethesda Hawthorne Place, an innovative assisted living and memory support community, among the newest in the area. 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.
