I came to Bethany not knowing what to expect. I have been happily surprised at every turn. From Mel on the nursing staff, and Erin, and so many helpful RNs and CNAs, to Rita and Zach on the therapy crew, I always was respected as a human being, and I was kept hard at it. I think you guys should have a new motto: We do miracles, one step at a time! I thank you for getting me back on my feet! Eric S. Bailey.

Cecily and Chris paid such thoughtful attention to my mother while she attended the Adult Day Services. They were incredibly compassionate throughout the entire process and took the time to get to know my mother to provide individualized care. I knew that when I dropped her off, she was going to be treated with respect and kindness, which gave me peace of mind each day. Thank you to everyone at the Adult Day Services for their hard work and dedication.

My experience with Bethany is limited to my mom recovering there after an accident, but from that view, it is an excellent care facility for seniors. The staff were very friendly and attentive.
