Genuine care

We chose Bethesda Ranch because of the caregiver's eagerness to help not only my loved one but me and my family. It was also close to home. But it wouldn't have mattered. He was only going there. The staff is very caring and accommodating to the residents and their families. You can call or visit any time. They go above and beyond for their patients and consider it just a part of the job.

Just like a second home for Dad

I would give them all a 5 stars based on our experience so far. It was before Covid so they did a lot of activities. So happy I took my Dad there. Yes it was expensive but way better than a nursing home and that was going to cost a little more. They are wonderful people and we would definitely recommend Bethesda Ranch to other families!

Great care in a family, caring home.

It's so family oriented facility, where the residents are treated like one of the family. Care is second to none. We liked the smallness and the people that cared for my mother, and also the, country setting on a lake.

Bethesda Ranch review

Bethesda Ranch does a lot of work for my wife which we really appreciate it and she watches tv with good ratings. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

Stay Away

Bethesda Ranch advertises to the Dutch community in Kalamazoo - do not be fooled, the care is provided by untrained staff who do not give full effort to the residents. My brother was there and ultimately got the flu and died - no flu shot, no rubber gloves, poor sanitation. The Mols are friendly but ;azu and the place is very dirty.

Best home ever!

Finally found the perfect place for my dad! No negatives at all. Having a registered nurse run the house is a great big plus! Love that they take the residents on outings too.
