My father needed a place for rehab. This was the second facility within a few months. He was VERY happy there with the staff and the FOOD!! Believe it or not, food is so important. Especially when they lose their appetite. Living in Florida makes it difficult to make sure he is receiving proper care. I talked with him every day and he never had one complaint about the staff or the food. He received excellent care and physical therapy. I had an upright walker delivered there and the physical therapist worked with him using the walker before his release. Our plan for the future is for him to return to Bethlehem Woods when that time comes. Thank you sooo much for taking such excellent care of my father!! It's EXTREMELY important to me as I continue to keep honoring his wishes to stay home as long as he can with home health care. We will be coming for a visit when I return in July. Thank you again!!!<br><br>Update 10/8/2025<br><br>My father is currently undergoing his third stay at Bethlehem Woods. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the consistently exceptional care and support provided by the entire team. Specifically, I am deeply grateful for Ms. Val's kindness and welcoming demeanor, the attentive staff at the nurses' station, the physical therapy team and the effective leadership of the management team. Their dedication has significantly contributed to my father's well-being, and I am truly thankful for their commitment to his care.
