The care and concern that staff provides to their residents is second to none!! The facility is beautiful, but even more important is the kindness, respect, and compassion that is felt when you walk through their doors.

Mom was a resident in long term care. The facility is clean and modern. The challenge is short staffing which has been a factor in bad resident outcomes that have been well publicized esp by KCCI TV. Unfortunately, it’s not like there are a lot of other options for our seniors.

This place redefines elder care, beginning with their name. The Households of Bethany are just like home, nothing "institutional" anywhere. Hallway decor is filled with interesting antiques and the chapel is warm and inviting. Resident areas feature common living and dining rooms. Simply homey.

Took care of my mom for over 2 years. It was a difficult time for us, but the people here are caring and helpful. I notice, when I am in the hallway or in the bistro, all the staff go out of their way to say hello to all the residents and call them all by name. That sounds like a small thing, but it is not. As life gets harder, it is important to know that people care about you. I think the residents there know the staff cares about them, and that is huge. My dad and I still go to Sunday service there, when the weather isn't terrible. The support we have gotten there is priceless. Love them.

I have been visiting with residents here for over eight years. The staff is friendly and kind. After the recent remodels, there are plenty of beautiful places to visit with your family and friends. If you need to find a care facility for your loved ones in the area, look into Bethany Manor.
