The day of her discharge, I had called to let them know I was running 10 mins late due to waiting for the movers at her originally facility to complete their tasks. I got there in 12 mins. They had already discharged her and left 5 mins before I arrived. #1 - you don't discharge a patient who has a cognitive decline diagnosis. #2 - even after 2 calls to let them know i was 2 mins aways and let the nurses know this - I was reassured that they'd inform staff. #3 - THE FOOD! the worst institutional food (if you could call it that).

From the very beginning, the staff made this transition as smooth as possible for both my mother and our family, and we could not have asked for a more supportive environment. The holiday seasons were truly special at Bethel. The halls were filled with beautiful music, festive decorations, and thoughtfully planned activities that brought so much joy to the residents. These moments became cherished memories for us, as we watched my mother light up with happiness. Every person at Bethel contributed to my mother's well-being--from the friendly faces at the front desk to the dedicated staff, housekeepers, and maintenance team. They treated her with such warmth and respect, making her feel at home each and every day. A special thank you to Pricilla, my mother's beautician, who went above and beyond by sending us lovely photos of my mother after each hair appointment. Those little touches meant the world to us.

She was septic with pneumonia. She was alert, moving, talkative and cheerful when she arrived here and within her 1 week stay she took a drastic turn for the worse. I feel this place is severely understaffed. Each day we noticed the lack of care she was receiving from the staff. We could also hear other patients in rooms nearby shouting for help and nothing was done for them either. The staff also mistook her for another patient so the fact that they could not even remember or keep track of her needs was alarming. They were giving her all the wrong foods, liquids, and hardly any medication to improve her health and get her strong enough to come home. Even after filling out their little cards for specific food and drink instructions the changes were not made. Within 1 week she went from cheerful and talkative to being so weak that she was unable to feed herself or formulate full sentences. The PT staff said she was progressing so well she was walking herself around to the dining area and would be released soon while the actual nurses were saying she was so weak they couldn't even assist her to the bathroom anymore. Talk about inconsistent and polar opposite feedback from the staff about the same person... since they couldn't help her to the restroom anymore she was going in the bed and constantly needed to be changed which they would take 1-2 hours to complete which is a bit dehumanizing and humiliating to have to sit in and after they changed her and the sheets they did not put her blankets back on her - mind you this was in the middle of winter. She was shivering and curled up in a ball with blankets on the floor when we saw her. She was severely dehydrated yet the entire time they did not have her on any IV fluids to get her body the nutrients it so desperately needed. After claiming she would be released for HOME (again I have no idea how they were able to say this to us when they we were clearly not talking about the same person) she was actually transferred back to the local hospital. From there the local hospital deemed her health was so irreversible that all there was left to do was to take her to hospice care. She passed away only 4 days later. I blame this facility for her rapid decline and I also blame myself for allowing her to stay here. We should've taken her out after all the mistakes and neglect here. When she arrived here she was her full self and when she left here she looked skeletal. She lost her figure and you could tell she was dying. Please think twice before taking your loved ones here and keep a close eye on the care they are receiving. If you feel like this is not the right fit, listen to your gut and find a different facility. It may look nice from the outside but the care is some of the worst I have seen.
