Bethany Lutheran Village is a continuing care retirement community in Dayton, Ohio, that offers residents a single campus where care needs can change without requiring another move. The community provides on-site medical support that includes physician oversight, diabetes management, access to a speech therapist, and the option for respite or short-term stays, allowing residents to receive concentrated care following hospitalization or when a full-time caregiver is unavailable.
Beyond the core medical services, the staff coordinates routine wellness checks and care planning so adjustments can be made quickly if a resident’s health status changes. Nursing personnel are on duty around the clock, and therapy professionals are available by appointment. This integrated approach is designed to help residents maintain or regain function without leaving familiar surroundings.
Residences come in several layouts, and not every unit has the same features, but options include wheelchair-accessible showers, patio or balcony access to the community’s outdoor areas, and parking for personal vehicles. The campus is pet friendly, subject to community guidelines, giving residents the option to bring a companion animal if their chosen accommodation permits it.
Meals are provided three times daily, with menus planned to meet general nutrition standards as well as modified diets prescribed by physicians or dietitians. Staff can coordinate meal delivery to a resident’s unit during recovery periods, and dining rooms are designed to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers for those who prefer communal meals.
Residents can spend leisure time in the activity center, where scheduled programs range from fitness classes to group discussions, or visit the library and computer lounge to read, browse the internet, or attend tech-support sessions.
