Bethania Care Home Inc sits tucked away at two addresses on 80 Bell Rd and 1305 Uniontown Rd in Westminster, Maryland, and has cared for older adults in Carroll County for over 20 years without fuss or a lot of bother. The place holds up to 14 residents aged 60 and over in a homey setting, with employees like Eyidi Kombi seeing to supervision and help around the clock, so folks get what they need when they need it, from medication given on schedule to help getting in and out of the shower, getting dressed, using the bathroom, and general washing up and hygiene, because when you're not as spry as you used to be, it's good to have someone both gentle and present. Meals are homemade three times a day, with the kitchen able to handle requests for special diets, like if someone has high blood pressure or diabetes, and they also mind allergies too, nothing fancy, but wholesome and thoughtful all the same.
This is a self-owned operation, not run by any big chain, managed by Bethania Care Home, Inc., with everyone licensed by the state of Maryland's Department of Social Services and each bed has the proper paperwork and all. Residents can get memory care, hospice care, and short-term respite care, so those with different needs don't have to move out. There's medication management, coordination with healthcare providers, and support with diabetic, incontinence, and non-ambulatory care, not just the basics, and the staff sees to housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, so people aren't fussing with chores.
Inside, there's a dining room, indoor common areas, a book room, game rooms, a beauty shop and a barber chair, a steam room, a hot tub, and garden spaces for walking paths and fresh air, which really livens up the place more than you'd think for such a small setting. Folks get to enjoy movie nights, exercise classes, music, community-sponsored activities, devotional events, creative programs, pet therapy, board games, and even some trips outside when the weather is good, and they can catch a ride for medical appointments, to run errands, or to visit religious services since not everyone drives anymore. Each room comes furnished and has a phone, and emergency alert systems make sure help isn't far away.
Bethania Care Home Inc offers community support and gives families a bit of calm knowing their loved ones are looked after every hour of the day. It stays less costly than a full-on nursing home and helps people keep some comfort, privacy, and community ties. They do long-term care and short-term respite, and everything centers around each resident's needs and likes, not shuffling everybody into the same routine. Nothing is perfect, but plenty of people have found this place steady, reliable, simple, and safe as the years have gone by.
