The biggest selling point 15 months ago was the great chef, who cooked from scratch meals each day, and never served the same meal over 3 months. He left around 6 months ago and the quality of food has really gone down. They do offer very good care, and do not charge for every little thing. Staff does get to know the residents and are very friendly. They appear to be having trouble retaining and attracting staff (particularly ones that can give additional help to residents that need it), and they also seem to be cutting costs (now serving things like corny dogs and other junk food regularly rather than good home cooked meals), while increasing the monthly rent. I probably said more on the negatives than I should have. The key thing is that whenever my mom needed anything, they were very good at helping her immediately without charging more. We did recommend them to a friend who needed to find a place for their mother, and I am very glad to have my mom there.

Our family had an in person tour with Bethesda Gardens Frisco and we thought the experience was great and really liked the community, but the apartment and room our loved one would of had was just not as big

My mom stayed in Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living, Frisco. It just got worse through the years, and the meals are terrible with no variety. They currently have a lunch special and a dinner special.

My mom stayed in Bethesda Gardens Assisted Living, Frisco. It just got worse through the years, and the meals are terrible with no variety. They currently have a lunch special and a dinner special. And if you don't like the specials, you can have a backup each and every day, each and every week, each and every month. The backup is a peanut butter sandwich, a cheeseburger sandwich, or a chicken salad sandwich. I would die of boredom before a week was up. Her room really stayed the same the whole time she was there. They didn't do any upgrades on the room itself, other than cleaning it weekly, other than getting her a new refrigerator when it quit running, or getting her a new air conditioner when it quit working. They had two different rooms. They had the size of her room, which was the smaller one, and then they had a bigger one. But they basically were the same room, the same layout, just the bigger one. There were a few good medicine techs, two or three girls that had been there quite a while. The rest of the medicine techs didn't seem to be well trained, and they could not keep a nursing director. They were doing good if they kept her for a year, it's just almost a revolving door with the nursing director, much less the people under her. They did trips like shopping trips, and trips to go out and stuff. She just wasn't partaking of them. They had a beauty salon. It wasn't open every day of the week. And I think that the ones that used it the most used it all the time. As far as Mom, she just occasionally gets a haircut. She wasn't too inclined to do that. The nicest thing for Bethesda was they had four different courtyards, so it was easy to get the dog out to do its business. They just remodeled this year, and they spent a lot of time, and I'm sure spent a lot of money. But if they had a decorator doing it, I would never hire that decorator. It was just kind of crazy. They took and laid what appeared to be nice hardwood floors out in the hallway, but one section would be going horizontal, the next section would be going vertical. You don't usually lay wood floors like that.

Staff is employed by Bethesda and not an agency. Lots of tenure. They do weekly housekeeping (included), but charge to make the beds. They have 3-5 activities per day. Best facility so far and they have been at 3 others. Food is not elevated like other places, but they offer lots of options and are willing to customize if requested. Facility is older but going through renovations. Skeleton crew on weekends which seems to be when things go wrong.

Good community. It was too far from family.

Bethesda Gardens Frisco is an absolutely amazing establishment. The executive team is committed to providing the residents with a wonderful experience. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed] went above and beyond to ensure my father's needs were met. The caregivers and med techs treat the residents like family. My father passed in late November and the care and support provided to him was unbelievable. I would recommend Bethesda to anyone looking to place their loved one in a safe and loving space.
