About Hillwood: Premier Dementia Care in Bethesda, MD
Respect is the cornerstone of who we are and our approach to care at Hillwood. We recognize that our residents are individuals with lifelong experiences. They deserve to be treated with dignity and to maintain their sense of self-worth. Our mission is to create a home-like environment where our residents with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia can feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We believe true dementia care is about an intimate relationship with our residents and a partnership with our families.
We support their right to privacy, their right to choose their daily routine, and their right to retain their existing state of well-being. We meet them where they are, designing a memory care program that builds on their skills and abilities and maximizes their opportunity for success.
While we are near many amenities, our location at the top of our long driveway up a small hill gives Hillwood a sense of privacy within the midst of a busy community. Both our front and backyard bird-feeders are frequented daily by numerous varieties of birds and our residents enjoy the peace and quiet of the natural surroundings.
Our senior living community consists of 8 private rooms with a common kitchen, dining room, living room, and sitting area for residents to enjoy. Our homes are specifically designed to resemble a home that our residents may have once lived in. Creating this aura of familiarity is what brings our residents comfort and a sense of normalcy.
Our Approach to Memory Care in Bethesda, MD
Activities for Cognitive Stimulation
Home-Cooked Meals for Residents
Meals are served in our common dining room to encourage socialization and participation in meal-time. You might find a resident helping staff to set the table, or sitting in the kitchen with the staff while they cook dinner.
Uncovering Personal Journeys: Sharing Unique Life Stories
When a new resident moves into Hillwood, we write a short biography on each individual to highlight their life’s accomplishments and to give us insight into the person they were before their memory loss. We discuss where they grew up, what they spent their lives doing, their families, hobbies, and their greatest achievements.
This “Family Album” provides the basic framework for our activity program. If we have a resident who loves to garden, we make sure to add gardening into our schedule. If a resident was an artist, our Activity Therapist spends time doing art programs with the residents. Our activity program is therefore constantly changing and why we can say it is truly unique.
Compassionate Senior Care Services
We have on-site, awake staff 24/7. Our staff members are well trained to provide personal care services, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication administration, assistance with ambulation and feeding when needed. They can provide care that is personalized since they know not only about the physical needs of each resident but also about their rich and personal history. Knowing this type of information when providing compassionate care is invaluable. Our high staff-to-resident ratio allows our staff to dedicate time to caring for each resident.
In addition to our staff, we have doctors, nurses, therapists, dentists, podiatrists, and other health care professionals who can visit residents at Hillwood. Residents are welcome to continue to see their own health care providers, but we provide internal care options of utilizing our doctors for convenience and more monitored medical oversight.

With a resident capacity of 8 and a staff-to-resident ratio of 1:3 during the day and 1:8 overnight. Our caregivers get to know each resident personally, enabling them to provide individualized care.
