Bethany Nursing Home sits in a quiet neighborhood in Market Heights in Canton, Ohio, and you can tell it's a family-run, independent place because the staff knows the residents and the whole community feels warm, not corporate. The building holds a 59-bed long-term care unit, a 29-premium assisted living apartment complex, and a 27-bed skilled rehab unit, so seniors with different needs can find the right amount of care, whether they want some independence or need daily help. Bethany's assisted living services balance freedom and support, with help for bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, plus a 24-hour call system for safety. The skilled nursing side gives constant supervision, nursing care, rehab, and medical help, including a board-certified, fellowship-trained geriatrician and nurse practitioner onsite every day-the only place in Stark County to do that.
The staff at Bethany includes friendly nurses, nurse aides, housekeepers, maintenance staff, servers, cooks, dishwashers, activity staff, and administrative staff, and they're known for being attentive and helpful, with some of the best staffing ratios in the region. The facility got a 5-star Medicare.gov rating, landed in the Top 5 for both nursing home and assisted living on the Ohio Department of Aging lists, and it keeps getting named a Best Nursing Home by U.S. News and World Report. Residents have things to do all day, from exercise classes and card nights to movie nights and community-sponsored events. The activity program also has social, educational, and fun options for keeping minds and bodies active.
Some folks enjoy visits with dogs or taking care of the fish tanks, and the whole community has a simple, homey feel. There's a library, walking paths, a barber and salon, a garden, and a dining room where families can eat together if they want. The onsite pharmacy, telehealth visits, health monitoring, and help with everyday activities all add to the care. The building stays busy with daily schedules, but it's calm and feels lived-in, and the staff focus on residents' needs, whether that's physical, medical, or just making sure someone gets to enjoy their favorite book or gardening spot. Bethany Nursing Home stays active online with a Facebook presence, making updates and sharing activities with families.
Bethany rolls out the welcome mat by supporting aging adults through every stage, offering a full continuum of care in a setting that feels friendly and stable. The focus stays on caring for each person, meeting medical needs, and making sure life's simple comforts and routines are within reach.
