These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
Bethesda Dilworth has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include highly effective physical and occupational therapy teams. Some reviewers note concerns about chronic understaffing leading to slow response times for call buttons (mentioned by 7 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Bethesda Dilworth receives highly polarized feedback, with experiences ranging from excellent rehab care to reports of severe neglect. While many families praise the therapy teams and the cleanliness of the facility, a significant number of reviewers report issues with understaffing, poor communication, and inadequate hygiene care. Prospective families should be aware that experiences appear inconsistent and may depend heavily on the specific unit or staff members assigned.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff responsible for the care of the residents/patients dangerously and disgustingly lack organization, professionalism, compassion and attentiveness.”
“My mom has been at the Dilworth for close to a month rehabbing after a seizure and I have gotten zero information from the rehab staff or the social worker.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
