Overview of Bethel Senior Living

Bethel Lutheran Home owns Bethel Senior Living, a small 33-bed nursing community on Dockery Avenue in Selma, California, operated by Bethel Assisted Living LLC and Bayshire Central Valley LLC. The building houses 23 residents, running at a 71 percent occupancy rate under administrator Benjamin Carter. Stays average 385 days, meaning the daily workload centers mostly on permanent residential care rather than temporary post-hospital therapy.

The surrounding neighborhood provides good pedestrian access, earning a walk score of 83 out of 100, so visitors can easily take care of errands on foot. Inside, the floor crew logs an average of 4 hours and 36 minutes of direct care per resident each day, with nurse aides handling 3 hours and 46 minutes of that total.

This round-the-clock staff runs physical rehabilitation programs, provides adult day health treatments, and coordinates on-site home care services for the residents. Government health inspectors monitor the property through routine compliance audits to ensure medical records and staffing ratios meet local health codes.

Families can contact the intake desk to verify current room openings or ask how the admission process works. The office staff can also arrange a convenient weekday morning to walk through the grounds and view the communal spaces.
