My dad was moved to Bethel from Theda Clark hospital after suffering a catastrophic brain stem stroke. The stroke happened Feb 13 2026 and after he spent 3 weeks in the ICU, he was stabilized and moved to Bethel to continue his mental, physical and speech rehabilitation. My dad was a very energetic, loving strong man prior to the stroke. He was recovering. He was regaining the speech, his sight and some mobility that was lost. At Bethel, there were several issues that arose regarding his care and we were assured by the staff that he was being well taken care of but we continued to see very concerning issues. There are 7 of us. And our spouses and our mom. Some of the concerns were that his PEG tube wasn't secure allowing him to grab it or touch the wound with unclean hands. Hands that were unclean due to the diarrhea he was sitting in for an uncomfortably long time. This diarrhea was caused by an antibiotic he couldn't tolerate. And the diareaa was highly acidic. You can imagine where I'm going with this. He developed an infection in his abdomen, and he quickly went down hill. There was no significant increase in his fluid intake, even though he was experiencing extreme fluid loss. He suffered a heart attack due to high potassium levels from severe dehydration and ultimately this ended his life. Please think very carefully before you choose to bring your loved one here for care. read more
