Bethany Healthcare & Rehab Center Costs & Pricing
At Bethany Healthcare & Rehab Center, the monthly costs for both semi-private and private rooms are set at $6,240 and $6,360, respectively. These rates align with the average costs in DeKalb County, which sit at $6,240 for semi-private accommodations. However, when compared to the broader Illinois state averages - $5,146 for semi-private and a notably lower $5,049 for private rooms - it's clear that Bethany's pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum. This positioning suggests that while Bethany offers competitive rates within its immediate locale, prospective residents may find more economical options elsewhere in Illinois.

Call lights and staffing are inconsistent
Several residents and families report delays in getting help when call lights are used.
A recurring negative theme is that residents feel ignored or not checked on promptly, with call lights left on for long stretches. Some reviewers describe being left soiled, without water, or without assistance overnight, and others mention medication or care needs not being addressed quickly enough.

Residents often mention therapy and activities as strong parts of the stay.

Pricing can surprise families
A few reviewers describe financial outcomes that differed from what they expected.
One review says they were told they could stay for free due to low income and insurance, but the reviewer later reported being billed and going into debt. Another review is broadly critical of the facility’s overall experience and implied that costs were part of the frustration. Separately, the community’s listed pricing range sits in the $6,240 to $6,360 range for the available unit types.
