What this means for your family

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Bethany Home shows persistent issues across all three surveys, with recurring problems in electrical systems, fire safety, and dietary services that appear uncorrected despite provider claims of correction dates. The facility has struggled with the same electrical and emergency power deficiencies in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside ongoing fire safety violations and food handling concerns. While all deficiencies were reportedly corrected, the repeated nature of these safety-related issues suggests systemic challenges that families should carefully consider before visiting.
