Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 4.51 hours per resident per day at Bethany Nursing Home, above the Ohio median of 3.58 (US median: 3.72). About 0.60 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 4.04 hours, 10% below its all-week average. 66.7% of nursing staff left within a year (Ohio median 48.9%).

Paying for care at Bethany Nursing Home: Medicare and Medicaid

Bethany Nursing Home is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Ohio's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
