Bethany Living

My mother is no longer here at this care home, but our experience was a good one. Unfortunately they were no able to provide the take of care my mother needed. Overall it was a nice experience, everybody was very kind. They have a great staff here. They do a good job with keeping the home nice and neat. There are activities offered for the residents. The food is pretty good. It was a good experience and I would recommend this care home.

Met with Mi Lyung Oh this AM and came away very impressed. Very clean. Her staff was very pleasant. Definitely will schedule another meeting so my mother will be able to see for herself that this is a nice place. I also want to see her Frederick home although I know its full at this time.

I was not impressed by my tour with Bethany Living

The house is on a main road. It was small and dark and did not smell clean upon my initial entrance. I did not stay... it immediately felt like the wrong place for my mother.

I believe that this might have been a good fit as well. It appeared that the residents were able to get out and about and that was one of my biggest concerns. The home itself appeared to be clean.

This was a daughters worse fear. My mother had been at Bethany living during Covid and had bruises on her, not minor ones. I can share pics if you request. No one could explain it. When I went to visit my mom and ask about it she would flinch. The owner didn’t care about her she was only concerned about her cable box. At one point they even took toilet paper from my mom. Please don’t send your loved one hear, especially if that can’t communicate When reported the ombudsman found many ways to cite them

This place was completely unacceptable for our family member. It looked thrown together, unsafe, and unclean.

This is a horrible place. Do NOT place your loved ones here. They serve VERY low quality food and VERY little of it. Their website states they take the residence on "outings" and have planned activities. I asked the owner for a schedule of the activities. He said they do not have outings and they do not have a schedule. A couple of the residences go to a daycare 3 xs a week. Maybe that is what they mean by outings??? I have been there on a few occasions. All the residents do is color and watch NBC news.(brainwashing) This place has an outside patio and no chairs to sit on. It is either freezing inside or super hot and stuffy. The windows are not open in the day to let fresh air in. At night, the heat is not turned on or is turned way down low. The owners are so cheap that the downstairs guest bathroom has no paper towels to dry hands on. Also, this bathroom has an electric hand dryer that doesn't even work. They dont even put bags in the trash cans. For almost $5, 000.00 per month, you would think they would get better quality food and a lot more of it. One of the staff members was putting rice on one of the plates. The owner yelled at her and told her that was too much rice and made her remove some of it. Also, my love one asked for some orange juice. They watched as the glass was filled half way up with oj and the other half up with tap water!! This place also advertises "transportation provided". Well, my loved one had a doctor appt. The owner begrudgingly took this person. Then the owner told them that they would have to find their own transportation in the future. The staff is very nice. That is the ONLY plus to Bethany Living. So, in closing, I repeat. Do NOT place your loved one here!!!
