Our Story
Founded in 1950 by ten cooperating LCA churches, Bethany Lutheran Home for the Aged, Inc. was established to provide a nurturing environment for seniors requiring nursing care. Ground was broken for the nursing home in Sioux Falls on October 15, 1950, with significant contributions of materials and labor from the founding churches. The original facility opened in 1952 and has since undergone numerous upgrades. In 2003, Bethany Meadows was opened in Brandon, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and more. The skilled nursing care facility, Bethany Home Brandon, welcomed its first residents in 2012, marking a new chapter in senior care. In November 2012, Bethany Home Sioux Falls expanded its services to include assisted living options, ensuring a comprehensive range of care for today’s seniors.
