Homestead of Bethany

The care services were good. The food was good. We picked this community because, it was close to our home, and we liked the apperance of the facility. My loved one was here was respite care. They were very friendly. They had a turnover in management. I would recommend to other families, if your loved one isn't very active.

It is so clean, it is the best one that we saw and one of the main reasons we chose them was because of how clean it is. They are remodeling too! There are only about 20 people here so the staff to resident ratio is amazing. The main staff are very friendly. My cousin was not doing anything for herself, but now since moving here she is doing a lot more things by herself. The staff are attentive and answer any questions we have quickly. If she does not like what is on the menu they will fix her something else, they try very hard. The maintenence guy and the main nurse of some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They go above and beyond. The only complaint I have is the rise in the cost of rent, it is going above the inflation rate for the amount of time that our loved one has been here.

I would highly recommend you check this community out. I am happy with it. There is staff turnover which I believe is expected in this line of work. The staff communication with the family is great. They do everything so well and it is fantastic here.

I really like this facility because it is a smaller community and it is very tight knit. I feel like it suits my Aunt very well. When I had questions, the staff addressed all of them. They followed through with everything that they said they were going to do during the tour. I am very pleased with this facility. The staff is very nice and they get all of the residence involved in the activities that are going on that day. This community just feels so bright and vibrant. From what I’ve been told, my Aunt likes the food and has told me they are good sized portions. They serve 3 meals a day with a few different options if you have specific food needs. There are also snacks and desserts throughout the day if you’re hungry between meals. If my Aunt wants to, she can keep food in her room. She has a small kitchenette equipped with a sink, microwave, and a refrigerator so she can heat snacks up. The only thing I have a complaint on is I wish the rooms were just a little bit bigger and cost just a little less. The facility also has a few activities that my Aunt can do. There’s bingo, games, movies, and a bus that can take them out and about. I would recommend this community.

I liked this community when we visited it. The community seemed clean and there was no odor. The person that took us on tour was sweet. This community was a little more expensive than the community we chose.

Things are going well so far. My mother-in-law has Alzheimers but she does her best to join in activities. I have not shared a meal with her but I have been there during meal time and she seems to enjoy the food. I ask a lot of questions while I'm there but I think they could do a better job of initiating conversations with the family.When I aks questions they do the best they can to answer them for me.

It all started with a phone call from "a place for Mom". Our search became focused and simple. Instead of us making phone calls, we began receiving calls and emails detailing different facilities and their benefits and values. We thought this process might take up to two months. Within one week we had decided where Mom would go and five days later she was in! A great thank you to the staff at Brookdale Bethany and our advisor at "A place for Mom" Thank you all.

I think they are fine. It has just been rocky and it is hard to keep good aides. Everyone is trying hard here though, there are a few caretakers that are not great, but they are weeded out. Overall it is pretty good though. It could be better, but they are trying.

The food quality they have leaves a lot to be desired, but that is the only thing.

I think they've done a good job at Sterling House so far. My loved one can be a bit of a tough customer, and she was not on board with the idea of assisted living at all, but the staff have all been very friendly, patient, and professional. It's a nice looking facility, and very good for the price range. It is worth a look if you're looking for senior living in the area.
