St. Mary of Bethany - Home Care

St. Mary of Bethany - Home Care focuses on home-based care so people can stay comfortable and safe in familiar surroundings, and the staff go by their own special name of "Helen Home Care," which folks might recognize, and there's a team of five caregivers on shift who help as needed, doing things like personal care, bathing, grooming, and medication management. The home accepts both men and women, including Providence Elder Place residents, and they don't allow vaping, smoking, kids living in the house, pets, alcohol, recreational drugs, or marijuana, but it's an LGBTQ friendly place with a homeowner who lives right in the home with everyone and provides care side by side. Residents can stay here until the end of life, and hospice is accepted, so families can feel steady knowing someone won't be made to move out just when things are hardest, and there's always an awake staff member overnight to keep an eye on things, providing 24-hour coverage right in the house, whether someone needs help with dementia, diabetes, Parkinson's, paralysis, stroke recovery, catheter care, wound care, cancer care, or other special health needs. The home offers meals and snacks prepared on site, housekeeping, and help with feeding if someone needs it, with recreational programs so folks don't feel lonely and a fenced backyard for outdoor time, plus indoor and outdoor common areas that give everyone a little space to be themselves or share time together, with a real focus on making memories and respecting each resident's dignity and independence. The setup includes single and shared rooms, rooms with private bathrooms or shared, a main shower with wheelchair access, a night call button alarm on the door for folks who wander with Alzheimer's, and a Hoyer lift for anyone who can't move themselves, all with Medicaid and private pay accepted. While the home uses special names and has programs unique to St. Mary of Bethany - Home Care, there's not much detailed information published about every single service or amenity, but what they do is keep things personal, compassionate, and focused on each person's needs each day.
