Bethany Center for Rehabilitation and Healing sits over on Ocala Drive in Nashville, Tennessee, right in Berry Hill, and people know it mostly for helping folks come back from surgeries or illness, and it's got all sorts of services set up for that, with a focus on helping people get healthy enough to go home again if they can. They do a lot with planning for when someone leaves, making sure there's a plan for what happens next, and they even have follow-up after folks go back home. The rehab staff stays busy in the spacious gym, where you'll see modern equipment like Accelerated Care Plus technology in there, and therapy happens up to seven days a week - physical, occupational, and speech therapy, too, so folks are getting plenty of chances to work on their strength or skills depending on what they need. Bethany Center also offers specialized programs for people who need help after amputation, and they cover other kinds of care like wound care, orthopedic rehab, long-term care, short stays, and subacute care, plus suites for patients who need to stay awhile, and some have dining amenities along with concierge services for added comfort. The facility's got 180 certified beds and about 167 residents on a typical day, and you'll find certified nursing assistants who've gone through their own training program, so staff know what they're doing, but there's been a pretty high rate of nurse turnover at about 47%, and nurse staffing averages just under four hours per resident each day.
Bethany Center holds a 3.9-star rating from 57 reviews, so people have mixed feelings. Inspectors documented some problems, too, like issues with letting residents refuse treatment or set advance directives, and there were a few food storage and infection control concerns according to a report from April 2025. The ownership is a mix of individuals - Mark Friedman, Yossie Zucker, Eliezer Schwartz, Neal Einhorn - and it's run by Bethany Ventures TN LLC. They make a point about providing a "RENEWAL™ Happens Here" kind of mission, which is their way of saying they try to help people start over and feel better, but at the same time, some folks might want to know they've had a total of 12 deficiencies listed in recent inspection reports, three of them about infection standards.
Some features make living here a bit easier, like recreation programs, and the staff all speak English. The center isn't accepting new patients right now, so choices may be limited. Even so, people wanting long-term care, rehab after amputation, or those looking for some help getting back on their feet can find programs tailored to what they need, and though the facility talks about providing a five-star experience, it's best to remember no place is perfect, and Bethany Center has both helpful services and a few shortcomings noted by inspectors.
