Nursing Bethesda Home provides twenty-four hour nursing care coverage.  R.N.'s, L.P.N.'s and nursing assistants provide nursing care with that extra touch of compassion.  The nurses' station has a full view down all four resident wings, providing for supervision of  resident rooms.  An Inservice Director, as part of the nursing staff, directs in-house education to keep nursing as well as all other staff members up to date with current issues and concerns in health care.
	Medical Services A physician, who serves as Medical Director, monitors and evaluates the medical care our residents receive.  Bethesda Home is located adjacent to the Sioux Valley Clinic-Beresford, where other medical services are readily available.
	Social Services A licensed Social Worker provides "one to one" crisis and routine 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.  Restorative Aides work with the resident to restore physical abilities that may have been lost due to accident or surgery.  Bethesda also employs Occupational and Speech Therapist who assist in the rehabilitation of our residents.
	Activities The activity program at Bethesda reflects a respect for the dignity and worth of each older person.  These activities are geared to their abilities and include spiritual programs, bus trips, picnics, parties for holidays, music, reading programs, and a variety of entertainment.
	Laundry, Housekeeping, & Maintenance All laundry at Bethesda is done by our in-house Laundry Department.  The entire facility including the building and all the grounds are kept clean, sanitary and in good repair by our Housekeeping and Maintenance Departments.
	Beauty Shop An in-house beautician provides residents the opportunity to get a haircut, style, shampoo or permanent without leaving the facility.   Our beauty shop accommodates both wheelchair and ambulatory residents.
