Bethany Meadows of Brandon


Bethany MeadowsBethany Meadows is new to the Brandon area but Bethany Meadows' history is as deep as our commitment to offering quality care. Bethany Meadows is proud to be an outreach of Bethany Lutheran Home in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Bethany Lutheran Home was established and sponsored by 10 LCA Lutheran Churches in 1950 to provide care to seniors in a Christian environment.

In the 1980's, a generous donation of land was received from the Hilda Nelson family near Brandon, South Dakota. With this donation, Bethany Lutheran Home had the opportunity to expand its services both professionally and geographically. Bethany Meadows is the first phase of our efforts to offer a full continuum of care to the Brandon communtiy.
