My grandma was here for 10 years and was very loved by all of the staff and residents until she passed away this month (not to say she isn't still loved and will be missed whole heartedly). This place took such good care of her the whole time she was there. Now don't get me wrong there were some bumps in the road like all assisted living places do (no one is perfect) but for the most and I do mean most part it was a very great place for people to go when they can't be taken care at home. I will miss the staff and residents so much and I appreciate what this place did for my grandma and family and I thank them for loving and treating my grandma like she was family to them. ❤

My father, who has dementia, was taken here for a day program they have running. It is meant to be a destination for social time and busy work. Even though they would not comply with any plan from my sister and I on how to make his transition work, and of course their plan FAILED in a spectacular fashion, I still view them in a positive light. The program seemed to work for most everyone there. The aides were knowledgeable and kind. The facility was clean and up to date. Generally, I consider those unwilling to accommodate for my father's (even for dementia) oddball way of viewing the world to be their loss. This time I think he lost out too.

This place is awesome! My grandfather was in there for a month for rehab and they were so great to him! The staff was phenomenal! The activity staff always made sure he was included in everything! The nurses made him feel at home an were very compassionate toward his needs! Definitely would recommend!

I just met with the nursing director and educator to plan nursing clinicals and I am blown away. Not what I have seen in other facilities. I spent an hour and a half meeting and touring and didn't hear a single Bell or alarm, unlike other places I have gone. From the moment I walked in until I left the staff and residents were friendly and gracious.

My father was in Bethany Village for a couple of years until he passed recently. Bethany provided a safe, comfortable, caring environment for Dad the whole time he was there. The aides, nurses, therapists, social workers, staff, PA's and doctors all were engaged in their work to help Dad achieve his goals, never losing hope or patience, always with a professional and kind word for him and for us. They really grew to be part of the family as they traveled these final years of Dad's life with us. We couldn't have chosen a better place or a better group of people to take care of Dad when neither he nor the family could. It's an impossibly difficult situation, but Bethany made it endurable, even enjoyable for my father and my family throughout. These people do very important work, and they do it well. My family is eternally grateful, thank you, Bethany Village
