Overview of Bedford Court, a CCRC

Bedford Court has been running in Silver Spring, Maryland for 34 years now, and it’s built around a simple idea: one community, several kinds of care. Independent living, assisted living, memory care, hospice, skilled nursing, rehab, it’s all under the same roof at 3701 International Dr.

The place itself has 76 beds spread across studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms in a mid-rise building, and right now it’s sitting at 77% occupancy, 58 beds filled. The average stay runs about 64 days, and the starting price is $3,893 a month.

Most people land here through Medicare, 90% of new admissions, usually for short-term rehab after something like a surgery or a fall. The typical Medicare stay is 27 days, so this is a community that does a lot of short, focused recovery work, not just long-term placement.

On staffing: residents get 32 minutes of RN time a day, 1 hour and 24 minutes from LPNs, and almost 3 hours from nurse aides, adding up to 4 hours and 48 minutes of total nursing care per resident, per day. That’s on top of rehab services, respite care, and round-the-clock staffing.

Day to day, there’s a spa, a dining room, a restaurant, a courtyard, a garden, a patio, billiards, transportation, and housekeeping. People do fitness classes, social events, resident groups. Walk Score is 66, moderately walkable, so a short list of errands can happen on foot without much fuss.

Put together, the numbers describe a community built for quick turnaround rehab care backed by a fuller continuum underneath it, the kind of place where a short stay and a long-term move both fit the same address.

Overview of Riderwood Village

Twenty-three years on Gracefield Road in Silver Spring puts Riderwood Village in a different category than the newer facilities that dominate this region. It is a Continuing Care Retirement Community operated by Erickson Senior Living, with 275 beds spanning nursing home, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Prince George’s County is a car-dependent neighborhood (Walk Score 33), 7 miles out from Silver Spring’s center.

The numbers that matter most here: total nursing coverage is 4 hours and 54 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses accounting for 1 hour and 25 minutes of that. Average length of stay is 79 days, which aligns with the facility’s intake pattern. Medicare and private pay are accepted; 203 of the 275 beds are currently filled.

Memory care has dedicated infrastructure. The Alzheimer’s unit is organized around three clinical levels, from mild through severe, rather than a single undifferentiated placement. Personal care assistance, transportation to medical appointments, chef-prepared meals, walking trails, and a salon and barbershop round out the resident experience. An active Resident Council and Family Council both meet regularly.
