Five Core Members and two Live-in Assistants
call Bethesda House home. Core Members go out to work each
day or attend a day program. The Core Members have all lived
in our home for very long time, ranging from 14 to 31 years.
The practice of living and sharing life with each other for
so long has given them wisdom and generosity that is a privilege
to share. Many Assistants have returned to Bethesda over the
years to live and share life with their friends. As Core Members
age some are experiencing mobility challenges and welcome
the prospect of our new accessible home, we will miss this
old house on the hill.
Elegant Bethesda House has impressive stonework foundations
and a huge stained glass window. Perched on a hill, it looks
out toward the distant sea.
"We are committed to being a home where relationships
are as important as the high-quality care that is given. For
us to succeed as a home, without becoming just another facility,
we have to come together as a family." |
