Bethany - Ripon, California

Sandra White

The place is very quiet it feels like a ghost town. I came out of town to visit my Aunt I haven’t seen in a few years. I was a little disappointed they didn’t have a lot of activities for the residents. It’s supposed to be active and they barely had anything going on both days I came in. I had lunch with her and the food was not good at all very low quality. They even have the residents working in there instead of staff. I had to walk to a few offices until I could find her apartment since there is no one to greet me as I came in which I found odd. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep her here after my visit:

Public Review from a CNA since I cannot leave the review at my workplace due to them blocking me.

Worked at this facility for the first time. For one they have cockroaches in the building! Anyway I was not given my login code to chart patients information until AFTER I clocked out. My shift was over at 7am and I clocked out at 8:30am, an hour and a half later, but still received no information until after I clocked out. I will not stay longer just because the facility does not plan accordingly. Therefore, Facility is clearly a mess if that light of a task cannot be done in eight hours. Otherwise, understaffed so the patients are not prioritized as they should be. I work for registry so I come in when facilities need the help but even with the extra help they still need more help! I am a great CNA and made sure my patients were clean throughout the night, not just one round at the end. But They put my on the do not return list and stated it was because I "used foul language while exiting the building and did not follow instructions." This is a complete lie!!! I will not sacrifice my job over something like that. So if they're going to lie about this to my company, block me from being able to return, and potentially make me lose my position, imagine what else they will lie about to their advantage!!! Very poor facility ever since the new management came in 4-5 months ago. Do better!

The patients smelled when I was there. Noticed many of them wearing the same clothes day after day. The patients were being given all their pills for the day at the same time. I love my mother. I will never let her go to this or any other nursing home.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write this review. It has been a year since my Mother passed to her Heavenly home, but I want to write this regardless to maybe encourage others that need these services to consider Bethany in Ripon.
My experience working with them started on the basis of home health services. My mother needed assistance with basic living needs, even though she was very reluctant to admit it. I reached out to Bethany and both Bonnie and Pam were very professional and understanding as to the situation. I am an only child and live several hundred miles from Ripon, and as time went on, I was unable to provide the level of care she needed. They came to her home and counseled her as to the services they could provide. When I was not able to be be there in person, they allowed me to participate by phone. We worked through a customized plan to meet her needs, allowing us to make changes as we went along. The level of care they provided was stellar! The people actually providing the services were excellent. Bethany employs a very positive, but strict code of conduct.
When it came time to utilize skilled nursing, Bethany was very helpful in working through that transition. It was particularly challenging as this was during the prime of the covid 19 crisis. If you think that is an easy process, especially dealing with medicare and insurance companies, you are very mistaken. Cindy oversees the entire organization, and I had many conversations with her and her team of absolute professionals. They are caring, and willing to work with reasonable specific needs. They are just really good people caring for your loved ones as a ministry of service. I can't thank them enough for the care and help they gave my mother and our family all the way up to her passing.
If you have a loved one that is needing assisted health services, all the way from basic home health assistance to skilled nursing services, I can attest they are the best I've seen or heard of, based on other reviews of other facilities. As I said above, they treat this a a ministry of service, rather than just a job. My family was very blessed to have them assist us during the last few months of my mother's life on earth.

Skinny Blonde/grey haired nurse w ankle tattoo should be fired immediately. unbelievably rude, and unprofessional, made my grandma cry when all she was trying to do was talk and try and understand what was going on with my grandpa who’s literally on deaths door. She even TALKED MORE MESS BEHIND MY GRANDMAS BACK WHEN SHE THOUGHT WE COULD NOT HEAR TO OTHER NURSE WHILE SHE WAS CRYING, then when my grandma politely mentioned while crying that she didn’t need this, the women proceeded to act puzzled and starstruck as to why my grandma would be so upset. This doesn’t make up for some of the nice workers, there’s plenty of friendly faces. But it seems all nurses hate life, hate their job, and walk around with the worst attitude as if half the people there aren’t miserable enough. DO BETTER. 😡
