I was visiting my mother this afternoon.i had an employee approach me to tell me I was not aloud to take a picture. I did not realize I was not allowed. The employee who approached was very rude and insisted I delete the photo. What’s wrong with being professional about it and not approaching me with an attitude. Whoever this woman is that approached me is very unprofessional!!!! Very disappointing!!!!!!

If you or someone you know is in need of a skilled nursing facility, this is DEFINITELY the place.<br><br>We couldn't ask for a more amazing facility. Everyone on the staff was kind, caring, attentive, and ALWAYS smiling. I've dealt with many nursing facilities and this is, by FAR, the best.<br><br>My dad was here for about 3 weeks, and actually enjoyed his stay. The medical staff was very thorough, answered every question we had, no matter how simple it was. Therapy was a huge help, and have him on the road to a better lifestyle. Dietary has a great menu that he was even pleased with, especially since he needed the diabetic menu (he's the most picky eater), and housekeeping kept the entire building spotless, fresh, and smelling great. The activity department ALWAYS had something fun going on.<br><br>Please know how appreciated every single one of you are at Bethlen. Thank you all for your hard work. I hope we don't have to come back, but if we do, we're completely at ease & wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Absolute worst facility in our area. people think its great because its a nice place but you can have the most beautiful facility run by clowns and it will be the worst. People don't get the care they need, staff speaks negativity about patients. HIPA law is probably broken atleast 10 times a day. I can not blame the nurses, its the people in charge.
