Executive Director - Bethany Homes

APPLY HERE

Meet Bethany Homes. Established by area churches and community leaders, Bethany began as a dream. Located in the middle of what was then an almond orchard, the primary purpose of the organization was to provide a Christian home for seniors and those in need of nursing and respite care from infirmity or illness. In 1963, Bethany opened its doors, beginning their decades-long journey of serving the needs of the elderly.

Over the next 60 years, Bethany would continue to grow and expand by both service and size through excellent leadership, community support, and a team dedicated to providing care in the spirit of Christian love. Today, over 400 residents enjoy retirement at Bethany through Skilled Nursing, Assisted Living, Memory Care, In-Home Care, Adult Day Services and Independent Living Services. A brand-new village-style residential facility, The Terraces, opened in September 2025.

Bethany is a vital part of the community and is recognized as one of the state’s finest Multi-Level Retirement Communities.
