Bethany Home Inc. sits on a 30-acre campus near Shadow Lake and the Crystal River in Waupaca, WI, where people can find independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services all in one place and it's been here since 1895, serving seniors with a strong focus on faith and honesty, always trying to give help that matches every stage of aging and different needs as they come up. Residents and leaseholders get first chance at spots in Bethany Pines, the assisted living part, and Bethany Home, the skilled nursing side, which gives a little peace of mind if health needs change, and everyone here can join in social work support, clinical assessments, and some preventative screenings at no cost, while other services like meals and housekeeping come for an extra fee, covering the needs for those who want help with chores now and then. The "care-free living" model means residents pay one monthly service fee that takes care of basics like lawn care, snow removal, garbage pickup, water, sewer, exterior and appliance maintenance, caretaker checks when traveling, building insurance, and even cable TV, so a lot of the usual upkeep work is off their plate right from the start.
The duplexes have thoughtful layouts, offering either about 1,450 or 1,050 square feet on the main floor with two bedrooms each, and these homes have no-step entrances and all the most important things on one level, plus handrails on both sides of the stairs for easier access, which matters to people with mobility concerns, and then there's the short-term rental unit at 150 Shadow Lake Drive for family visits or group meetings, while a single-family home at 139 Shadow Lake Drive works just like the duplexes if someone wants that. The campus includes gardens, multiple patios, lounges, a wellness center, and set classes or activities at The Springs Wellness Center so nobody's bored, and the public areas and walking spaces let residents, friends, and family spend time together without much hassle. Specialized memory care programming supports people with Alzheimer's and Dementia, while services like daily meals, personal care plans, on-site laundry, beauty services, and an emergency call system cover most of what someone might need, and up to 28 hours of tailored assistance per week is available too.
Transportation to medical appointments is there when the van's open, and shopping and errands help can come as needed, which is a relief for lots of folks. Apartments have kitchens and living rooms, some with patios, and private rooms each have restrooms so it's easy to keep some independence, and on top of that, the community is pet friendly, so people can bring animals with them if that helps them feel at home. The leadership team includes a CEO, Director, and MDS Coordinator, and everyone tries to make sure support comes with honesty, integrity, and dedication while aiming for a welcoming, supportive Christian place for all. With daily activities, public lounges, and up to 20 thoughtfully built duplexes, Bethany Home Inc. tries to focus on independence, security, health, and social well-being, offering a range of senior living options without letting anyone feel forgotten as they age or need more help.
