Review for Bethany Residence

The staff at Bethany are always nice very attentive to everyone's needs. The facility is always clean and smells good not like a nursing home or other facilities I have visited. My dad lives his room and I love that he doesn't have to share a room. This was very important to my family and very rare to find.

I am currently a resident at Bethany Residence and so far my experience here has been great. The staff and the other residents are great. It's great to communicate with nice people. Also, [Name removed] is a great guy to have around! I would recommend this facility to others.

I would recommend

Bethany Residence is very family oriented, very cozy but just not as flashy which is why the cleanliness got 3 stars - it is just older and worn. They do have in house activities.

It is family

We chose Bethany Residence because of the value for the money as well as the fact it was a smaller facility which is what she needed. The room sizes here are on the smaller side. It is a very friendly place and it is like one big family, there are only 11 residents and it just feels very homey. I would recommend them to others looking.

Critical

Definitely Wouldn't Recommend To Anyone

I would recommend you try somewhere else. The owner all she wants money, and then accuses people of not paying the monthly fees. I tried to get my loved one out of the community and they didn't let my loved one know that I was coming and this made it difficult to have my loved one leave.
