What this means for your family
While some families report excellent, compassionate care, there is a recurring pattern of understaffing that impacts resident safety and response times. When touring, ask specifically about the nurse-to-patient ratio on weekends and how the facility ensures continuity of care when regular staff are absent.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff members were very kind, compassionate and professional. We appreciated how welcomed we all felt on our visits.”
“Please don’t ever bring your loved one to this place it’s filthy , food is horrible , there’s no supervision, my sister in law fell, now she’ll never walk again thank you Bethany gardens, biggest mistake I ever made.”
“Severely understaffed more often than not. Maybe reaches state minimum but with 20 some odd residents on a floor having even one aid tied up leaves countless other residents without aid for long intervals even with alarm bells going off.”
