Bethany Home offers Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation services for individuals recovering from accidents and/or illness. In partnership with Select Rehabilitation, an in-house physical therapy team provides rehabilitation and restorative therapy services through physical and occupational therapies as well as speech-language pathology.

The Bethany Home rehabilitation team is committed to providing individualized programs to meet each person’s needs with outstanding results and excellent quality of care. Residents are encouraged to reach goals of increased independence and ability.

Physical Therapy

Occupational Therapy

The occupational therapy team develops task-directed activities in the treatment of residents whose functional abilities, daily activities and independence have been impaired by illness, injury or aging.

Occupational therapy assists residents in adapting to their social and physical environment by mastering tasks essential for daily living. Occupational therapists may work with residents who have debilitating arthritis, impaired hearing and vision or difficulty bathing, dressing and other activities of daily living.

Areas of treatment may include:

- Functional independence: eating, bathing, toileting, homemaking, cooking, etc.
- Maintenance of wellness, dressing and grooming
- Prevention of further disability through home assessments and modifications and adaptive equipment
- Increasing safety awareness

Speech/Language Therapy

The speech therapy team provides a range of interventions to assess and help restore abilities in the areas of communication, swallowing and cognition. Treatment programs are designed to help residents affected by stroke, brain injury, dementia, and other neurological disorders. Therapists also work with residents suffering from hearing impairment, respiratory illnesses, and complex medical conditions.

Areas of treatment focus may include:

- Improving speech and voice clarity
- Increasing comprehension and verbal expression
- Improving chewing and swallowing ability
- Maximizing cognitive language skills: memory, problem solving and abstract reasoning
- Resident and family/caregiver education and training for managing ongoing difficulties with communication, cognition, and swallowing

An application for admission to the Cottages Independent Living, Sunflower Terrace Assisted Living and/or the Bethany Home long-term care center must be completed and returned to Bethany Village, accompanied by a $40.00 per person non-refundable check. The applicant is encouraged to have a personal meeting and/or tour of the facilities. The Admissions Committee will review the application, with priority placement according to level of need or in order of the date on the application.

An admission fee will be charged at the time of admission to Sunflower Terrace Assisted Living or Bethany Home long-term care to cover costs for individual record and room preparation. Bethany Home’s admission fee varies depending on the resident’s payment source.

Once accepted for admission to assisted living or long-term care, residents and/or their families may request a face to face meeting prior to the admission date. Payments for room, board and personal care begin on the date of admission and are payable one month in advance. The payment period runs on a calendar month.

Should the resident be discharged and return to the facility within 12 months, this fee will not be charged again. If the resident is discharged and returns to the facility after 12 months, an admission fee will apply. Admission fees will not be charged due to a change in the resident’s level of care. For example: A resident moving from assisted living to long-term healthcare will not be charged another admission fee.
