Overview of Bethesda Home of Aberdeen

Located in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Bethesda Home of Aberdeen is a skilled nursing home in Brown County. It is less than a mile from Avera St. Luke’s Hospital’s emergency room and about 2 miles from the city center. Scott Eisenbeisz owns the community and serves as CEO and Administrator. Alongside skilled nursing, it offers assisted living, home care, respite care, senior apartments, and adult day services. Families can use these options in the same community as care needs change.

The 86-bed home currently serves 82 residents. It runs close to full, with a 98% occupancy rate. Residents stay an average of about 153 days, reflecting both post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care. The community has been open for about 1 year.

Total nursing care averages 4 hours and 23 minutes per resident daily. Rehabilitation and physical rehabilitation services are also available to support residents recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay. Families can choose from Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to cover both short-term and long-term care.

State health inspections have often focused on documentation and care coordination practices. These include documenting respiratory care and hospice services together. Reviews have also covered food temperatures, food safety records, hand hygiene, and skin-assessment practices, which are recurring administrative and procedural themes rather than one major concern. Families touring the community may ask how staff manage these practices daily.

The surrounding area is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 12 out of 100. Most errands and visits require driving rather than walking. However, the nearby hospital can benefit residents needing frequent medical follow-up or transfers.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +66% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	49m per day	■ Avg State avg: 48m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	42m per day	▲ 44% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 10m per day	▼ 18% State avg: 2h 37m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 51m per day	▼ 14% State avg: 3h 19m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	5m per day	▲ 66% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	25m per day	▼ 18% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day
