Bethesda Assisted Living, which people often call Bethesda of Beresford, has served seniors and the surrounding area since 1914, starting out with smaller buildings and growing over the years with several expansions, so now you'll find a fully licensed nursing home and senior living community offering care for many different needs, including independent retirement living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care, all as part of a larger network of senior care providers. The community has 16 independent living apartments, with 10 being two-bedroom units and 6 one-bedroom, each with oak cabinets, trim, individual heating and cooling controls, washer/dryer hookups, and kitchens that come with a stove, fridge, dishwasher, and garbage disposal, and each apartment has nearby lockable storage and access to indoor heated parking garages if you're willing to pay extra. The apartments don't require any big buy-in, endowment, or entrance fees, and all utilities except phone and extra TV service are included, which takes a burden off residents. Daily living support is there for those who need help with things like moving from bed to wheelchair, bathing, dressing, and keeping up with medications, and the staff can also monitor insulin or help with incontinence care if that's necessary. There are laundry rooms on each wing, a fire alarm and smoke detection system, and a locked mailbox for each resident inside the building for safety and convenience, and the grounds and building get maintained on a regular basis.
The building features common spaces, including a living and meeting area with a fireplace, a dedicated activities room, and a chapel with stained glass where devotional activities take place, and there's a kitchen and communal areas where residents can gather for meals, socialize, and take part in activities made to boost movement and interaction, while offsite activities provide a chance to connect beyond the facility's walls. If you step outside, you'll see a concrete patio with French doors for easy access, and there are shower safety features like grab bars and seats set up in every apartment for steady footing. Meals, planned with nutrition in mind by chefs and dietary staff, are available for noon and evening, though an extra fee applies, and those meals help ease the challenge of daily cooking. For residents needing therapy, Bethesda of Beresford has physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech or language pathology on-site, and the staff stay available at all hours for emergencies or new health concerns.
The community keeps a security system running and has quick access to the emergency medical services at Sanford Health Beresford Clinic, so help isn't far away, and the facility's programs and staff are set up to provide a steady, caring, and safe home. Over the years, Bethesda has built a reputation in the area for being a steady provider of support, whether that's through care, devotional and social activities, or just having a quiet, home-like place for folks to spend their retirement years. Floor plans and different payment options are available, so people can find what suits them best, and the facility continues to run with community support and a focus on improving life for residents however it can.
