Why Bethesda Families Choose Brookeville House
The Boutique Difference
Large assisted living facilities in the Bethesda area house 50, 80, even 100+ residents. Staff turnover is high. Your parent becomes a room number.
At Brookeville House, we do things differently:
Intimate Home Environment Each of our three residences is an actual home—not a converted hotel or medical building. Residents live in a warm, B&B-style setting with private and semi-private rooms, home-cooked meals, and staff who know every resident by name, preference, and personality.
Exceptional Staffing Ratios Our 1:4 caregiver-to-resident ratio means your loved one receives four times more direct attention than the industry average. Certified staff provide 24/7 care, medication management, and assistance with daily activities.
All-Inclusive Care Packages No hidden fees or surprise charges. Our transparent pricing includes room, board, meals, activities, personal care assistance, and medical coordination—designed to work with any budget.
Just 20 Minutes from Bethesda Close enough for easy visits, far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of Montgomery County’s countryside. Our Brookeville location offers the serenity your loved one deserves while keeping you connected.
