Bethany Home - Sioux Falls

My father had viral pneumonia, and spent several days in the hospital. He was very debilitated, and needed rehab before going on to his assisted living. Literally nowhere would take him because he was confused, until Bethany Home stepped in. They not only weren't afraid of his temporary confusion, they were willing to try to rehabilitate him. Since he had been conversational just days before, I was determined for him to have a chance. Their Social Worker and Nursing Director worked very hard to get my father into their rehab program, and set him up with an aggressive rehab plan that literally began to make him better and stronger within DAYS rather than the weeks everywhere else was promising. It was incredible the progress he made with them, and I am SO VERY GRATEFUL for their efforts and their rehab program!

I found most of the nurses were not receptive to my concerns. My mom had worsening lab results and symptoms that were ignored or minimized. There were wait times of 1.5 to 2 hours for her to be assisted to the restroom. She would literally be writhing in pain. And several times she waited hours for pain medication even though it was well within the time frame that she could have it. The rooms are not air conditioned and can get very hot. The elevated temperature actually caused my mom to have shortness of breath. My mom was there for a short time but it was a horrible experience for her.

Bethany Home in Sioux Falls has been a wonderful experience for my mother-in-law and family during what would have been a very difficult situation. From the moment we arrived at the newly renovated facility the staff was so welcoming, nurses outlined what to expect and then carried through with the highest level of patient care. Sparkling clean, the best meals, happy and loving interactions with patients and to their families by the entire staff and the hard working PT staff performed nothing less than a miraculous healing body transformation back to health. It's a lesson to us all what positivity, hard work and love can do! Thank you Bethany Home Sioux Falls!
