Nursing Home

   Welcome to Bethesda Home, a 58 bed, Medicare/Medicaid certified skilled nursing care facility featuring private rooms.  We provide 24 hour nursing care, chaplain services, organized activities, individualized meal planning and a beauty shop. 
   We are operated by thirteen area Lutheran Churches whose mission is to provide excellent care at the lowest possible cost to its clients.  This care involves caring for the whole person - physical, mental, social and spiritual - in an environment that is Christian, friendly, clean, safe and "home-like".
   Our goal is to help each person in our care to reach and/or maintain their highest level of independence in a safe, nurturing  atmosphere.

Social Services
A licensed Social Worker provides "one to one" counseling with our residents.  The Social Worker also performs the pre-admission interview, financial resource planning, placement options and the actual admission of the resident.

Dietary
All diets at Bethesda are planned individually for the residents' needs.  This is overseen by a consulting Dietician, who works with our Dietary Department.  Afternoon coffee is a popular event when family, residents and visitors gather for fellowship.

Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation plays a vital role in the care of our residents.  A licensed Physical Therapist oversees the rehabilitation programs for those residents requiring these services.  Staff work with the resident to restore physical abilities that may have been lost due to accident or surgery.  Bethesda also contracts for Occupational and Speech Therapist who assist in the rehabilitation of our residents.
