Bartholomew House is quietly situated on stately River Road - just on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. in Bethesda. Residents enjoy a spacious living area with a vaulted ceiling, a fishpond - and a prime location on the campus St. Bartholomew Church.
At Bartholomew House, we encourage our residents to enjoy an independent lifestyle while we provide all the conveniences of home, from delicious home-made meals to housekeeping services. Therefore, our residents have more time to socialize, participate in recreational activities, or just read a favorite novel. Our residents also enjoy peace of mind, knowing that when supportive services are needed, our caring staff members are there to assist them at no additional charge.
