    Great rehab but watch valuables

    I've been pleased with the rehab, outstanding nursing, and many compassionate, attentive staff - the facility is very clean, homey, with good food, activities, and a smooth continuum from independent to skilled care. That said, I experienced (and heard reports of) poor communication, unprofessional behavior by some employees, gaps in medical follow-up, and theft/missing belongings that compromised IDs and money. I recommend it for strong rehab and loving daily care, but I urge vigilance with valuables and active oversight of medical issues.

    About Bethel Lutheran Home

    Bethel Lutheran Home sits out in the quiet town of Selma, California, and does a good job of offering different types of care for seniors, so they've got skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living, and independent living services all on the same campus, with staff around to help with meals, medication, and hygiene if needed, and they keep security a priority along with a supportive, caring attitude. The place keeps up its Christian, faith-based tradition, so that shapes how folks are treated, and you'll see it in their community spirit and daily routines. Residents at Bethel Lutheran Home get to keep some independence, but they can ask for help when they need it, and the campus itself's a real scenic, rural spot that tries to make life comfortable and happy for everyone. The Village/Commons Building is where folks go for restaurant-style dining, and you'll find a chapel for quiet time, a library for books, a salon to get cleaned up, and even a wellness clinic to take care of health needs. There's a senior living counselor people can reach out to if they've got questions or want to talk through their options, and the whole place uses a community profile system to manage how things run, with a nursing home review feature where people have given it a 3.9 score out of 22 reviews. All in all, Bethel Lutheran Home's a retirement community that offers a range of care and some helpful amenities for seniors who want to live life as fully and comfortably as they can.
