“My husband's twin brother was a patient at Bethany Gardens for almost five years until his recent passing. We are deeply grateful for the care our loved one received at this nursing home. The staff members were very kind, compassionate and professional. We appreciated how welcomed we all felt on our visits. The staff members came around frequently to check in on not only our loved one but us as we…”

“Well it is clean and the staff is caring however as in most rehabs or rest homes patients who are feeling lousy never seem to get enough care (because its not home).

So it may take a while to get to everyone's needs. …”
