Country Meadows of Bethlehem sits on Green Pond Road and is part of a family-owned group with many years of experience in senior care, and the staff and residents, well, they seem to know each other like neighbors should, and this place offers a range of living options, so if someone's just looking for independent living where they can handle most things themselves but want help when they need it, or if someone needs more support with daily care, or memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, or even skilled nursing and rehab after surgery or illness, they've got lots of different services all in one place, and they do independent living, assisted living, personal care, restorative services, short-term rehab, long-term care, and skilled nursing, all under one roof, and they call it a Continuing Care Retirement Community because as needs change, people can stay right on the same campus and adjust their care.
There are apartments in different floor plans, including studio, one-bedroom, and alcove suites, and you can rent month-to-month without big upfront costs, and the apartments-well, you can bring your own furniture and things from home to make it comfortable, and they allow pets and couples, plus private and semi-private options in skilled nursing, and everywhere you look, there are spots to sit and common areas to meet people or visit with family. Meals are cooked with care, focusing on taste and nutrition, and you'll find restaurant-style dining, and there are things to do every day with outings, entertainment, fitness led by a professional, and a Dynamic Living program, so folks stay as active as they're able.
Country Meadows has 24-hour care with licensed nurses, and someone is always around for safety, and there are regular visits from doctors and nurse practitioners, and lab work, X-rays, EKG, podiatry, audiology, dental visits, and even a rehab doctor who checks on therapy, so a lot of things are handled right on site. There are therapy services for folks who might need physical, occupational, or speech therapy-whether it's to recover from surgery or just to help maintain health, and there are restorative programs to help residents function at their best. Families can find help with making senior living choices, and support groups for Alzheimer's, macular degeneration, or even bereavement.
Country Meadows offers home care, too, for seniors who would rather stay in their own place but need some help. There's also memory support programs to keep people with dementia safe and comfortable, helping to reduce confusion and wandering, plus activities to give everyone something meaningful to do. If someone needs hospice care, there are comfort and end-of-life services as well. The community also makes it easy for people who want short-term rehab while recovering from the hospital, and it's Medicare-certified with about 70 beds for skilled nursing care.
Awards matter to some, and Country Meadows of Bethlehem was named a "Best Long-term Care" and "Best Short-Stay Rehabilitation" nursing home by U.S. News & World Report for 2023-2024, and it's been nationally recognized as Best Senior Living in Independent Living for two years running, and the company is certified as a Great Place to Work. Pricing is personalized, and rentals are monthly, and you'll find things like transportation, housekeeping, and safety programs in place along with support for both individuals and couples alike.
With all these services, from independent living and memory care, to skilled nursing and therapies for things like wound care, IVs, catheters, and more, plus support for families and activities for residents, Country Meadows of Bethlehem tries to cover the needs of seniors as they age, doing it in a friendly and familiar environment where residents are encouraged to bring pieces of home and live with comfort and care, and feedback from people who've spent time here often mentions the kind, helpful atmosphere created by staff who tend to stick around for years.
