Shady Grove Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation Ranked Among Best in Nation and No. 1 in the Region

By MCS Staff

Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation recently was named among the best inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRF) in the United States, and first in the region, by Newsweek and Statista Inc., a leading global provider of statistics and rankings. Rankings are based on a complex scoring model that includes a center’s reputation, quality of care, service and post hospitalization follow-up, as well as inpatient accommodations and amenities.

“This recognition from Newsweek is a testament to the skill, hard work, and compassionate care provided by our dedicated team of professionals,” says Brent Reitz, President, Adventist HealthCare Post-Acute Care Services. “Adventist HealthCare is proud to lead the region and the nation in providing high-quality care using state-of-the art equipment that allows us to customize treatment to achieve the desired outcome for every patient and get them back to living their best life.”

Two MoCo Restaurants Make Eater DC’s List of “D.C. Area Restaurants That Are Great for Big Groups”

By MCS Staff

Many of us have been in a position where we have to find a restaurant to accommodate a larger group of people for dinner, and as fun as they can be, the task isn’t always easy. Eater DC put together a list of “18 DC Area Restaurants That Are Great For Big Groups” and two MoCo establishments made it on the list. “Large group dinners are fun, but they also require a bit more planning and preparation. When everyone RSVPs “yes” to the invite and suddenly the party has gone into 10-12 person territory, not every restaurant is equipped to meet the demand.”

Summer House Santa Monica in Pike & Rose (11825 Grand Park Ave, North Bethesda, MD 20852): “With a sprawling, light-filled interior, this Bethesda spot is beloved for its brunch and dinner offerings alike. Whether you have a big party or an intimate gathering to plan, the full restaurant can be booked for larger groups; a banquette table in the main dining room is available for smaller parties. Summer House also offers full-service catering for off-site events, with menu choices like taco bars and sushi platters.”

While the new owners have not been revealed, according to a message by the former owners, “We have sold the building, recipes, name and everything that comes with it. We will be sure to teach them every last secret with full hopes that they will successfully continue the Amalfi Legacy.”

That means we are making our exit plan. We are officially announcing that the original Amalfi Family will be here through Sunday November 20th. That means you have three weeks so hurry and reserve your spots.
