Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum and dad came to live at Bethel House in 2021, when they could no longer cope at home due to ill health, dad in heart failure with severe hearing loss and mum with advanced Alzheimers.
By the time we lost dad in Feb 2024 and mum in June 2025 the care home had become a second home and the staff like
friends. Both my parents' needs were so different, but the care home did everything it could to help them spend their final years together as a couple, for which I am grateful.
The meals are good and the activities plentiful and whilst residents do have many complex needs, they are treated with dignity and care.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these kind words about your mum and dad's time at Bethel House.

Your appreciation means a great deal to our team, who always strive to provide care with dignity, warmth and respect. Thank you again.

Dad was diagnosed with dementia in 2015 and has been looked after at Bethel House for the past 6 years. The staff are professional, kind and compassionate,:nothing is too much trouble. There are excellent activities daily, the rooms and overall environment is cheerful and the food is excellent. I have
often been asked to recommend a care home over the past few years and never had any hesitation in recommending Bethel House. Dementia is a horrible disease and to know that your loved ones are being looked after with care and compassion at least gives comfort that you are doing all that you can.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been a resident for 10 months prior to her passing. She had advanced dementia at admission and was very frightened about needing care but all the staff made her transition from her own home to Bethel House a positive and enriching experience. She settled very quickly and enjoyed all the
activities, food and making new friends
All the staff are so friendly and professional, recognising her individual needs. Her end-of-life care was kind and thoughtful and made a difficult time much more bearable.
Highly recommend both the environment and especially the team.
Reply from Lindsay Mahoney, Hospitality & Wellbeing Manager at Bethel House

Please accept our condolences on the loss of your mother. It is heartwarming to know that her time at Bethel House was a positive experience, joining in the activities and making new friends. We are pleased to hear that the team were kind, thoughtful and respectful and they made a very difficult time seem a little more bearable. Thank you for taking the time to share these kind words which will be passed on to the team at Bethel House.

All the staff at Bethel House, without exception, go above and beyond what is expected. My husband is happy here and well looked after, if I did have any questions they would be answered, truthfully and with understanding. This is not the first care home my husband has been in and exceeds all my expectations
and far outshines the others. Everywhere is extremely clean and the staff are always looking to find themselves busy and helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad reluctantly moved into Bethel House in January this year. The Bethel staff and residents are a close-knit family who happily took him into their hearts. The staff are so caring, providing for the needs of the residents with dignity and respect. They ensure their safety and provide an impressive
programme of activities and entertainment, which includes a daily dose of singing - which is, by far, dad's favourite activity, if he is not found eating the great choice of home-cooked food. Last month, we celebrated Dad's 84th birthday and the chef made an impressive cake and the staff and residents all came to sing to him. He was very overwhelmed.
Dad has settled well into the Bethel family and he can often be found happily chatting to everyone who will listen. As a family, we can't thank the Bethel staff enough for caring for Dad. It means everything.

Mum first moved here on 31st July. I was worried about the sudden move, that she wouldn't settle but after a few days, she did with the help of all the friendly staff. The home cook gorgeous meals and my mum being a fussy eater, eats everything now. The care home provides very good activities and puts
on lots of parties through the summer months. I'm always offered coffee and the cakes are delicious. From what I've seen over the last three months, I have been extremely happy, 100%.

I would just like to say that my husband has been in Bethel House since January 2024 and in all that time the care staff have been wonderful despite him not always being cooperative and in the best humour. The house is always clean and tidy and there is always something going on for the residents if
they want to join in. When I visit I have always been welcomed with a smile and very often one of the carers stops to have a chat. I don't know how the staff cope day after day and keep smiling and are 'friends' to all the residents.

This care home is very well run by the manager. The staff employed really are very lovely, smiley and caring. I truly believe the people employed absolutely do their best and are genuinely caring people. Rooms are kept spotlessly clean by staff and the food is becoming better and better all the time.
Nowhere

My mother has been happy and relaxed in Bethel House. The environment is ideal for my mother. She is happy with her room and likes the food. I think the program of activities is excellent giving the residents a variation on their day. My mother is well looked after, having her hair done every week.
She also likes having her nails done. Personal care is extremely important and my mother often comments on the care she has received.

My overall rating is good (as opposed to excellent) because my dad hasn't been there for more than 3 months. Bethal House has a very homely and welcoming atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble - I cannot praise everyone who works there enough. They do an amazing job day in and day out. My father is
very happy, comfortable and well cared for at Bethal House which means the world to him and his family.
Well done to all these great key people - I can't thank you enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.851)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.851) out of 10 for Bethel House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.851 for Bethel House is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.851
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bethel House is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

We will be working together to support the residents' sensory needs to enable them to have a holistic well-being while living in our home, by encouraging them to be involved in the social community of the home at the same time encouraging them to remain as independent as they are able to. Smiles, warmth and kindness will greet everyone who visits Bethel House.

The only goal I wanted to achieve when I joined Hartford Care was to make a difference in enriching and improving our residents’ lives and to create opportunities for them to live fulfilling lives.
