Bethany Health Care Center, which the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston have operated since it opened, serves seniors in a way focused on care and values rooted in their faith, and you'll find the place offers round-the-clock skilled nursing, short-term and long-term care, memory care, rehabilitation, and hospice services all under one roof, so there's always direct care for daily needs or health changes. The building is well cared for, climate-controlled, and kept safe, and there's a calm, familiar feeling to the halls, rooms, and gardens; residents can walk safely outdoors on maintained paths, spend time on patios, or relax in solariums with cable TV, pianos, or internet-enabled computers-many rooms are private and have their own television and phone, which people seem to appreciate for some quiet time. The Center has 101 beds and is a non-profit, and you'll see award-winning staff, nurses, and specialized RCA training happening on-site, so that care is attentive and supports both the physical and spiritual side of healing-residents have access to daily Mass in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, either in person or by closed-circuit TV, and the Sisters try to help everyone feel whole, connected, and comfortable.
Medical services at Bethany include things like IV therapy, feeding tubes, wound care, respiratory care, and regular visits from doctors, and specialists like podiatrists, dentists, psychiatrists, and optometrists, so there's always access to needed treatment and therapies-physical, occupational, and speech therapy take place on-site for those recovering or hoping to keep up strength. Meal service comes from a recently improved kitchen, and there are social spaces including the library, activity center, new dining room, and even a beauty salon; people can drop off dry cleaning, get their groceries done, or enjoy activities meant to keep the mind sharp and the days fulfilling. There's a Special Care Unit for people living with memory loss, and there the amenities include secure outdoor areas, dedicated dining, and a full-time activities team, plus staff stick with national care standards and safety guidelines, using programs for falls prevention, sepsis, and better planning for care transitions, which matters for everyone's peace of mind. Bethany Health Care Center also provides community education, caregiver training, and publishes "The Bethany Beacon" newsletter, continuing its mission with the Sisters of St. Joseph, aiming always for quality and unity, and offering a space that many people find supportive for both care and spirit.
