The Lodge at Bethany, Statesboro’s only licensed assisted living community, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday evening to officially open its doors to the public and showcase the flagship facility of the Bethany family, highlighting a long-standing tradition of excellent care for seniors. The public is invited to attend a dedication ceremony and open house on Sunday beginning at 3 p.m. After a brief ceremony, guests may tour the facilities, getting a firsthand view of the brick and mortar building with the most up-to-date technologies, graced with the furnishings of a home-like atmosphere and painted with soothing colors to contribute to an environment of healing, comfort and hope.
