  My dad, Ron Schultz, was in comfort care at Bethesda Suites the last days of his life. He was there prior with recovery care also. The staff was amazing and the facility was perfect. They treated him and our family wonderfully. Would fully recommend them to other families.

  I am very thankful that my mother can live at Bethesda. It is not easy getting older, but the workers at Bethesda are kind, caring and gentle with my Mom. One of the nurses is Sarah, and she is especially kind and patient. I can tell that the staff in my Mother's area genuinely care about the elderly, and they are patient and understanding. When my grandmother was in a nursing home in Minneapolis a number of years ago, she did not receive quality care as my Mom is, so I'm grateful.

  My grandma lived at Bethesda for a couple of years prior to passing away in 2015. I wish she would have made the move there sooner. Prior to her move she was in a smaller assisted living with limited activities and things to do - and before that, alone be on the farm. The social life at Bethesda drastically improved her overall health once she made the move to Bethesda Grand. She was so happy and able to experience things she used to enjoy again independently (like Bible study and worship). The staff always went out of their way to accommodate visits from our large family - often making larger spaces available just for us and ensuring we had everything we needed. Grandma was always complimenting the care she received. I am grateful Bethesda was there for my Grandma and for our family.

  Hopefully I am leaving this message privately to all the marvelous people who make Bethesda the awesome place it is. So my apologies if this ends up on my news feed.<br>I just want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the people who work here. You have provided and continue to provide excellent loving care to my mother Sharon Mohlin for the past 4 plus years.<br>Someone in the hall outside her room the other day mentioned how much they miss her " spunk" I chuckled as that was a very thoughtful and generous way to describe her at times. I know without a doubt that she could be difficult at times and maybe a little mean at times.<br>Through this sick, ridiculous and frightening covid time period you are without a doubt my heroes, everyone's hero<br>Thank you so very much for everything you do on a daily basis. Please be safe, stay well and know how much you are appreciated . THANK YOU everyone form Sharon's family. I love you all!!!
