Sarah the social worker there is heartless. She can't get your loved one out of there fast enough, even before they are dead. After they are dead you are hounded to get your loved ones things out of there asap to make space.

I did clinicals here for my nursing assistant class and the staff and nurses I dealt with on the 4th floor were so friendly and caring. Everyone was really good at their job and I’m glad I got the opportunity to meet some of the residents. Thank you Samaritan Bethany for showing me so many things and teaching us!

I took the accelerated nursing assistant program in August 2025. My instructor was Anna Pence-Bouska. Nurse Anna helped me; she was passionate about it, teaching us the course. Nurse Anna used to encourage me and made me wanna to finish my nursing. Nurse Anna her encouragement affected how I look at things in life now. Nurse Anna was thoughtful, kind, and helpful. In my experience, nurse Anna made a difference in my life, went above and beyond. I appreciate you, Nurse Anna Pence-Bounka.

When I was young we came here to sing for the older folks. It has expanded alot since then. During "COVID-19" I sang around the outside for July4 and Christmas. This Christmass I sang inside and got to see how nice they made it. The center courtyard had a Nativity Scene! The Chapel is very nice. The folks were very nice and the staff was so kind as well. What an awesome activities staff they have. We shared an hour of music and their stories of Christmas 🎄 in bygone days. It softened my heart to be with my elders of my people.

I do not recommend this facility. Arbor Terrace and Samaritan Bethany are very understaffed and work the staff they do have to the bone. There are only a handful of caring individuals, as most are just collecting paychecks. My grandma started at Arbor Terrace early last year and because the facility is “Independent Living”(IL), the housing coordinator says she doesn’t have to inform family of a resident’s declining health or that care plans that residents pay extra $ for are not being followed (Blood sugar checks, Showers, etc.). Despite my asking if the requested Arbor Terrace care conference was because of a concern, I was assured this was just routine. Instead of initially recommending more care (a move to Assisted or Samaritan), in my experience, individuals instead document the decline until they can send them to the hospital. Once in Samaritan rehab, her care started to worsen after we voiced concerns of care. She developed red rashes in her skin folds and her other leg got infected (original leg infection had subsided) in her final days there before her removal. Luckily we were able to remove her from the facility, despite being threatened by social worker that if we had “no plan” she would be mandated to report us for a vulnerable adult case. They told us on a Friday that she would be moved into Long Term on that Monday giving us the weekend to find a new facility. Good facilities often have wait lists and they knew that. However, they were banking on us not being able to remove her and making us feel as if that was the only option. My grandmother then spent a happy month back at her farm, while my mom could luckily put her life aside to become her sole care taker, nurse, and cook as we waited for a room at a new facility. She improved dramatically, despite Samaritan Bethany recommending stopping therapy, and became more mobile instead. A nurse on rehab told my grandmother that she would get worse with my mom’s care. A month later my grandma’s wound care clinic told my mom her legs had looked the best they had seen in months. Again, would not recommend.
