One of my grandparents had an extended stay at Bethel Lutheran Home. I remember some very fond memories of the place and the experience. Many people often stereotype assisted living facilities as being very bureaucratic and often depressing. With Bethel Lutheran Home, not so. This place was clearly a cut above. In fact the term "facility" doesn't even describe the place. It was so much more inviting, warm, and homelike with a very relaxed atmosphere. I remember all the nurses my grandfather had there because all of them greeted me personally at each visit, and they remembered him and myself and pretty much all of my family on a first name basis. It seemed like every time I went to visit him there were several people who would stop by just to ask how things were going, even simply how my grandfather was feeling. At the same time, a more independent lifestyle is encouraged and patients are not smothered or treated like farm animals. It's for this wonderful balance between the two that I highly recommend the Bethel Lutheran Home for you or your loved ones.
