If you would like to share your families' Bethesda Aberdeen care story; please email info@aberdeenbethesda.org for more information about the process.
Our family could not be happier with the care that our father was given while in Bethesda. The biggest thing for me was his safety; coming from living alone, to always having someone looking out for him, allowed me to relax and not worry quite so much. He still had falls, but that was to be expected as Dad is very stubborn, at at times, thinks he is super human! The nursing staff was so willing to help with each and every request that was made. There were times when Dad would complain about something so we would listen and then consult with staff about our concerns. Most often, there was a perfectly good reason behind what Dad was telling us.
At Dad’s most recent hospitalization at Avera McKennan, the nursing staff complimented Bethesda on the care they were providing. She said there are a few things that are very telling about the facility. She noticed that Dad’s nails and ears were clean and had been cared for. She said that is a sure sign.
As the daughter here in Aberdeen caring for Dad, I just want to say thank you for helping me to manage his very high level of need. I always felt like the staff cared about Dad and that is very important. Bless you all so very much for what you do and what you did for my Dad.

My mother, Lena Schornack Holgerson, so enjoyed living at Bethesda Towne Square and Bethesda Home of Aberdeen. My mother had so many friends and people that she knew at Bethesda Towne Square that she felt comfortable and at home from the first day. The staff at both Bethesda Towne Square and at Bethesda Home were fantastic. They were very helpful and constantly looking in on mom which was a great relief for both my brother and me.
Although she had a very nice condo in Aberdeen, I was always concerned about her taking a fall, even though she had an emergency call button, either in the house or as she went to the garage to retrieve the paper.
The dietary staff at both Bethesda Towne Square and Bethesda Home of Aberdeen were exceptional. They catered to my mother’s special needs as her foods needed to be gluten-free.
The Aberdeen area is very lucky to have both Bethesda Towne Square and Bethesda Home serving the area. There are far too many names for me to mention here of all the people that were so kind and helpful to my mother, from the dietary person to maintenance and custodial staff. But a special thank you to several people that I personally dealt with, Maintenance person, Roland; Bethesda Towne Square Director, Brittany and Bethesda Home Social Worker, Julie, a big heart felt thank you for all that you did!!
