Bethany Lutheran Home provides skilled nursing and nursing home care, assisted living, and memory care in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while nursing home care includes long term care and rehabilitation. Assisted living supports daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Its Rehab to Home program and rehabilitation services support a resident working toward returning home after a stay or treatment, when that goal is part of the care plan. A Walk Score of 77 places the area in the very walkable range, so most errands can be done on foot; shops, a pharmacy, and cafes can be reached by a short walk for a resident who no longer drives. Bethany Lutheran Home allows pets, so a resident can keep a pet with them during the move.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families payment paths for covered care or residence costs. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 41 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated per resident. Chandra Gustafson serves as administrator.
