We’re grateful to an anonymous donor for the generous gift of this beautiful grand piano to Bethesda StoneRidge!

We also want to thank another anonymous donor who, through the Bethesda Foundation, covered the cost of moving the piano, adding a piano dolly so it can easily be moved throughout StoneRidge, and reupholstering the bench.

Gifts like these, made through the Bethesda Foundation, help add those special touches that make a difference for our residents. The piano is already getting plenty of use, and our residents couldn’t be happier to have it!

Thank you to both donors for your generosity!

Talk about a llama-zing visit! 💛🦙

Park View Village had some pretty special visitors last week—Moe, Marley and Anabelle the llamas! These furry friends brought plenty of smiles, laughs and a little extra joy to everyone’s day. 🥰

Some visitors are just a little more unforgettable, and we’re so glad these three stopped by! 🦙💕

This summer, we’ve had the privilege of celebrating the retirements of three very special members of our Bethesda team — Pastor Mary Hovland, Chaplain; Wanda Mehr, Assistant Director of Recreation; and Helen Pusillo, LPN.

Together, these three women have given nearly 65 years of service to Bethesda!
That’s decades of caring for others, building relationships, sharing their gifts, and making a difference in the lives of our residents, families and fellow team members.
We are incredibly grateful for Pastor Mary, Wanda and Helen and all they have given to Bethesda over the years. Please join us in congratulating them and wishing them much happiness as they begin this well-deserved next chapter!

Thank you for being such an important part of the Bethesda family!

And with that, our Summer at StoneRidge series is complete!

Last week, we had a wonderful time welcoming community members and StoneRidge residents for our StoneRidge State Fair! The day included a resident talent show, our Bethesda Hall of Industry, and a showcase of the many talents within our StoneRidge community—from baked goods and photography to paintings, quilts, stained glass and more.

We wrapped up the day with Black Cherry BBQ and fair favorites prepared by our StoneRidge culinary team.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this summer. We loved sharing StoneRidge with you!

More than just a name, it's a reminder of faith, hope, encouragement, and caring for one another. We love that it reflects our mission to inspire kindness, encourage faith, and share God's love in everyday ways. 💙

Come explore the latest gifts, décor, books, and treasures at Current Trends Gift Shop at Bethesda Grand, located next to Brother's Café + Bistro.

Think you could recognize a scam?

With today's AI technology, scammers can clone voices and create convincing phone calls that sound like someone you love.

Chief Deputy Kent Bauman shares why it's more important than ever to pause, verify, and talk to someone you trust before sending money or sharing personal information.
