Overview of The Reserve at Strathmore Square

The Reserve at Strathmore Square offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in North Bethesda, Maryland, in the Pooks Hill neighborhood. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with bathing, dressing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident at risk of wandering.

All three care levels are available in one community. That can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since moving to another level of care does not require leaving the community. Respite care is also available for a short stay, which may help a family caregiver who needs time to travel or recover. The community may be a good fit for someone who wants independent living now while having assisted living and memory care available if circumstances change.

Residents can use the pool, fitness and wellness spaces, salon and spa, restaurant, and art studio on site. Rehabilitation services support therapy at the community, while scheduled transportation can help residents attend activities or appointments without arranging every ride themselves. Pets are allowed.

The area has a Walk Score of 38, making it car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride. The Reserve at Strathmore Square is owned by Experience Senior Living LLC.
