Bethel Home provides nursing home and skilled nursing care, independent living, and respite care in Montezuma, Kansas. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while long term care supports residents who need ongoing nursing care. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, and respite care provides a short stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The combination suits a resident whose care needs could change over time, because multiple care options are available through the same community. Bethel Home has 56 beds and opened in 1948. Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 7 minutes per resident per day, which represents the amount of nursing staff time assigned to each resident over a day. Brian Koehn serves as administrator.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can apply to eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly for care. A Walk Score of 30 places the area in a car dependent setting, so a resident who no longer drives would need a car or a ride for most errands.
There is a 24 hour coffee shop on site. Bethel Home also offers home cooked style meals, gospel singing, and a Sunday morning gospel service, giving residents access to refreshments, meals, and these faith based activities within the home.
