Bethany Life
212 Lafayette Street, Story City, IA 50248 · Capacity 126 · 5157334325
Nursing home Safety score 52/100
Bethany Life holds a 2-of-5-star CMS rating (safety grade D).
CMS cost-report rate
From its public CMS cost report, Bethany Life takes in an average of about $331 per resident-day across all payers — Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay combined. That is a facility-wide accounting average, not a private-pay quote, and it is not a monthly price: Medicare short-stay rehab is billed at a far higher daily rate than long-term custodial care, so the day-rate reflects payer mix as much as price.
