Overview of Homestead of Bethany
Homestead of Bethany is a 30-bed nursing home on North Council Road in Bethany, Oklahoma, a rural community west of Oklahoma City. Owned by Gwendolyn Chance and operating for 47 years, the home has established deep roots in the area, serving a stable local population. It’s currently fully occupied with 30 residents, reflecting consistent demand and community trust in the facility. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which provide families with many ways to cover care costs.
The community serves post-acute rehabilitation residents and those requiring active nursing care, averaging a stay length of 162 days. Substantial is daily nursing support, with total nursing care averaging 4 hours and 41 minutes per resident day. That level of hands-on staffing includes registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses working across the day. Bethany itself is car-dependent, with limited nearby walkable options, though the location offers easy access to the broader Oklahoma City area for visiting family members and medical appointments.
State inspections have documented stable compliance over time. A recent survey found no deficiencies and substantiated no complaints regarding care as per physician orders. Inspections from earlier years had flagged concerns in food service, medication storage, staff reviews, and fire safety, but the home has addressed such issues and shown improvement over subsequent surveys.

Staffing hours breakdown
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| 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.
| 25m per day | ▲ 25% State avg: 20m 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.
| 36m per day | ▼ 35% State avg: 55m 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 34m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 34m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 3h 0m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 29m 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.
| 1m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 1m 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.
| 21m per day | ▲ 24% State avg: 17m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
