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.

If you’re looking at Ingleside at King Farm in Rockville, you’re looking at a pretty well-organized facility. It’s located right in the King Farm neighborhood, and with a Walk Score of 73, it’s actually walkable; a rare and appreciated feature for a facility like this. Plus, it’s less than a mile and a half from Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center, which is a major comfort factor if health needs shift suddenly.
The facility itself is a 45-bed building managed by the Westminster Ingleside King Farm team. They handle everything from nursing and assisted living to memory care and independent living, which is helpful because you don’t have to move if your care needs change. Their occupancy is at 92.2%, and the average stay is 139 days, suggesting they balance short-term rehab with long-term residents.
Most telling are the care hours: they provide 6 hours and 21 minutes of nursing care per resident every day. That’s a significant amount of attention for a facility this size. Kenya Bryant, the Executive Director, is currently working toward her license as a nursing home administrator, which adds another layer of professional oversight.
Financially, studios start at $3,638 per month, and you can scale up to $5,812 for a two-bedroom unit. They offer one-bedroom and one-bedroom-plus-den options in between, with units reaching up to 1,799 square feet. They accept both Medicare and private pay.
They have a heated indoor pool, a fitness center, and a cultural arts center. There’s an art studio, a library, and a dedicated meditation space. You’ll also find a coffee shop, a wellness center with an on-site doctor, and a courtyard with water features and a fire pit. It’s a pet-friendly community, and they even provide transportation and have a Social Day Program, which makes the whole living experience feel much more connected.
What really stands out, though, are the certifications. They have CARF accreditation, SageCare Platinum, and specific LGBTQ+ Long-Term Care Equality recognition. They’ve also landed on the “Great Place to Work” and “Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Aging Services” lists. If you’re prioritizing a place that has a full care continuum, keeps a dense amenity schedule, and has verified, institutional commitments to inclusive care, Ingleside is one of the more credible options in the Rockville area.
