Bethany Home of Waupaca

Last week I went to visit Bethany Home of Waupaca.  I had an appointment there to meet with the HR representative.  Bethany Home was voted Best Nursing Home of 2011 in Waupaca...and it truly is a wonderful place.  Here is how they describe their facility on their website:

Bethany Home is a faith-based organization with a long-standing tradition of providing service to our community’s seniors and disabled residents. Bethany Home, Inc. offers a full continuum of care and services for seniors, including skilled nursing and rehabilitation, assisted living apartments, independent living duplexes and a community outreach program. Our facilities are located on a beautiful 30 acre campus bordered by Shadow Lake and the Crystal River.


I received a short tour of the main lobby and building area and was very impressed.  They had a lovely sitting area with a bird aviary.  Some of the residents seemed to just enjoy sitting and watching the birds.  Their hallway has a timeline of old photos from when the facility was actually an orphanage before WWII.
The grounds are actually quite extensive.  Here is an arial view that is from their website:


Their property contains the main building, assisted living quarters and independent living condos.

Bethany Home also encourages volunteers for the following activities:
  • Visits
  • Reading
  • Playing cards
  • Taking walks
  • and  much more
I am actually contemplating having my 9 year daughter go there to play harp for the residents some time this summer.

For information or to plan a visit and tour, please contact
