If I could move my relative to Texas, I would. We get to see multiple, daily reports of them neglecting him and the lack of care he receives. No one seems to care, ever. I would tell you to run a different direction.

Good nursing staff but watch out for housekeeping. They removed my mom's things less than 72 hours after she passed.

I just spent a month there, recovering from MRSA, Sepsis and Pneumoinia. The nurses were spot on with me. I got all my meds and they were incredibly friendly. The PT and OT were great. They recognized my needs and worked me appropriatley. I highly recommend Bethany.

I have just spent a stay at Bethany Rehab. I would love to say that their O.T/ P.T. and Speech therapists are second to none. You learn your basics and how to build upon each one.
