Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
One family filed a complaint that led to findings about accident hazards and supervision, which the facility corrected. Bethany Home shows recurring issues across multiple areas including medication management, quality care standards, and resident rights protections, with deficiencies appearing consistently across all four surveys from 2023 to 2025. While all violations have correction dates, the pattern of repeated issues in core care areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
