***Samaritan Bethany Nursing Assistant Classes Update:
May 6, 2020
Due to COVID-19, there will be no nursing assistant classes in June at Samaritan Bethany. We will not cancel the July classes yet. If you are on the waiting lists, do not look for a call until June sometime. We will call the students, that were registered for the March classes first and then proceed with the June and July waiting lists. Of course this plan may change, depending on the status of this new virus and also the safety of our residents. Thank you for your patience in these trying times. Keep checking this website for updates.

Careers
This is more than a place to work.
At Samaritan Bethany, our mission and values are inspired by the belief that we were sent to serve. We choose to provide resident centered care in a way that encourages a sense of fun, family, and community.
- Our Fun: We believe that the only way to do great work is to love what you do. So let’s laugh, smile, and have a little fun. And maybe even wear a Tutu on a Tuesday!
- Our Family: A family is a group of people who have something in common. With us, that means each and every employee is an important part of the care team.
- Our Community: Simply put, we care about each other. We care about your sense of belonging. We care about the health and wellness of our staff and residents. And we care about comfort, too, which means you will work in a modern, equipped facility.
Employees are not here to simply collect a paycheck; our team of Care Partners get a chance to truly connect with those they care for, unlike a hospital or clinic environment where the connection stops with the end of your shift.
