Part of the FYI Safety Scorecard, the independent safety rating for every California assisted living facility.
New Bethany is a 76-bed assisted living community in Los Banos, a small Central Valley town west of Merced. For families in this part of the San Joaquin Valley, options are limited, and New Bethany is one of the larger communities in the area.
The facility maintains a solid safety record and offers care in a quieter, rural setting.
One of few local options
Los Banos and the surrounding Merced County area have limited assisted living choices, making New Bethany an important resource for local families.
Mid-size community
At 76 beds, large enough to offer structured activities and dedicated care staff, while maintaining a more personal feel than mega-communities.
Small-town setting
Los Banos offers a quiet, unhurried pace of life that some residents and families prefer over the noise of larger cities.
Below-average safety record
10 serious and 9 minor citations across 21 state inspections, with 6 verified complaints. Worth asking directly about recent findings and how they've been addressed before deciding.
Remote Central Valley location
Los Banos is about 90 minutes from Fresno and over two hours from the Bay Area. Family visits may require significant travel, and access to specialized medical care is limited locally.
