15% Male Residents — State Benchmarked 15% of residents are male, compared to the Maryland average of 31%. This facility caters to a majority female resident pool (85% female), consistent with the broader assisted living trend where women significantly outnumber men. |

95% White Residents — State Benchmarked 95% of residents are reported as White, compared to the Maryland average of 81%. A higher White share than is typical for assisted living in Maryland in this dataset — compare with peer facilities for local context. |

2% Residents Age 65–74 — State Benchmarked 2% of residents are 65–74, compared to the Maryland average of 13%. Fewer younger seniors suggests the resident population skews older, likely requiring higher acuity care and more hands-on support. |
8% Residents Age 75–84 — State Benchmarked 8% of residents are 75–84, compared to the Maryland average of 31%. Below the state norm — the resident mix may skew either younger or older than this typical middle bracket. |
65% Residents Age 85–94 — State Benchmarked 65% of residents are 85–94, compared to the Maryland average of 44%. A high concentration of very elderly residents signals a higher-acuity facility with experience caring for advanced age-related needs. |
26% Residents Age 95+ — State Benchmarked 26% of residents are 95 or older, compared to the Maryland average of 16%. A high proportion of the oldest-old suggests strong end-of-life care experience and very-high-acuity capabilities. |

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.
Live a vibrant retirement life with Bedford Court, a blissful senior living community in the serene and beautiful neighborhood of Silver Spring, MD, that strives to provide a welcoming environment filled with warmth and outgoing residents. Here, residents are offered with an active independent living and assisted living lifestyle, as well as skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for those who require assistance in their recovery process. The community provides an array of convenient services, including assistance with daily living activities, medication management, personal care support, and more.
Various conveniences, such as housekeeping, maintenance and concierge services are offered for a maintenance-free living experience. Residents can prepare their own meals or enjoy the community’s restaurant-style dining experience with a great selection of delicately prepared meals served in an elegant dining area. A multitude of hotel-like amenities, such as fitness center, spa, gazebo, activity rooms, a bistro, salon, sun room, and beautiful outdoor spaces are offered to make residents’ living experience more enjoyable.
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.
