Lisner Louise Dickson Hurthome

Lisner Louise Dickson Hurthome stands as a pillar of compassionate senior care in Washington, DC's vibrant Friendship Heights neighborhood, situated along Western Avenue NW at the city's northern boundary with Maryland. This nonprofit skilled nursing facility carries a proud legacy of service, offering residents expert medical care within one of the District's most convenient and welcoming communities. The community provides comprehensive skilled nursing services, including 24-hour registered nurse supervision, short-term post-acute rehabilitation, long-term care, and specialized clinical programs tailored to each resident's unique medical history. Interdisciplinary care teams—comprising nurses, therapists, social workers, and physicians—collaborate to deliver individualized plans that prioritize recovery, dignity, and comfort. Friendship Heights is ideally suited for seniors and their families. The neighborhood's walkable core offers the Chevy Chase Pavilion and Mazza Gallerie shopping centers, an array of dining options from Maggiano's Little Italy to local cafés, and the Friendship Heights Metro station (Red Line) right at its heart—making family visits easy from anywhere in the DC metro region. Whole Foods Market, CVS, and specialty retailers ensure that everyday needs are always within reach. Medically, the location is exceptional. Sibley Memorial Hospital, a Johns Hopkins Medicine affiliate, is just two miles away along Massachusetts Avenue. Suburban Hospital in Bethesda is minutes across the state line, and the National Institutes of Health campus provides access to world-class specialty care. Rock Creek Park, one of the nation's largest urban parks, lies nearby and offers trails, picnic areas, and nature programming that enrich quality of life for residents and visiting families. As a nonprofit corporation, Lisner Louise Dickson Hurthome is deeply committed to its founding mission: providing high-quality, ethical care to older adults with respect and compassion. Every staffing and programming decision reflects that mission-driven approach.
