Review from Trevor D (Nephew of Resident) published on 8 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The carers and staff at Bethel House have been excellent in the care and attention given to our aunt who suffered from dementia. Our aunt was at Behtel House for more than 6 years and was happy throughout her stay. It is always difficult to choose a care home for a loved one but we are glad we chose Bethel House. It was a very good choice.

Reply from Jenni Laffoley, Brand Marketing Manager at Bethel House

Thank you for your kind words about Bethel House. It's been our pleasure to care for your aunt for the past 6 years, and we are so pleased you are happy with the level of care she has received. Thank you again, and all the best to you.

Review from Julia G (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Reply from Jenni Laffoley, Marketing Manager (Brand) at Bethel House

Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased your dad is settling in well with us and that you are happy with the care he is receiving. We shall pass on your lovely comments to the whole team at Bethel House

When I was looking for a place to live I looked at several nice places but Bethel house has all the things that I liked. My room is well situated looking out at a very nice garden. I told my daughter this is as good as it gets. I have settled and just love it here.

Review from N L (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 30 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother-in-law moved to Bethel House six months ago, and in that time, she has come to think of it as her home. The manager and her deputy are, in particular, outstanding. We can't stress enough how caring and patient they are. The manager is always thinking of how she can improve Bethel House and the lives of its residents. The care staff are kind and will always find time to talk to the residents, despite the demanding and stressful nature of their work. We were particularly impressed with the Jubilee party where the staff made a huge effort to involve the residents; my mother-in-law was very happy singing along to the live music and reminiscing about watching the coronation. Thank you, Bethel House team, for all your hard work.

Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Bethel House

Thank you so very much for your wonderful words about Bethel House. It's our absolute pleasure to look after your mother-in-law and to see her settle in so well with us. We are so glad you enjoyed our Jubilee Party during which we all made some amazing memories. We shall share your very kind words with all the Bethel team especially our brilliant manager and her deputy.

Review from Peter M (Son of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has been in Bethel House for almost 3-years now. I can detect she is not always happy there, although this depends on her state of mind! However, I can also determine she must be a very demanding resident for the staff - she often talks of moving near me, but I'm sure she wouldn't be happier in any other residence. As for my perception of the home, it is bright and clean, and the staff always seem to find a few minutes for Mum to introduce me (again). The most recent changes have improved the overall feel, in re-arranging the lounge so it is not as cramped as before, and much more bright and welcoming. The bright paintwork everywhere gives the home that happy feeling. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for doing a difficult job.

Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Bethel House

Thank you so much for your very kind words about Bethel House. It is our pleasure to care for your mother and to ensure she lives her best life with us. We love our new-look lounge as it really does make our lovely home look even brighter and more welcoming. We will share your comments with our team, who are looking after your mother.

Overall Experience

My great Aunt is really happy at Bethel despite some apprehension from her to start with, the staff and other residents all seem very happy and this has a positive effect on my Aunt. The activities are plenty and keep her both engaged and stimulated. She has really settled in and has made lots of new friends.

A thoroughly professional run care home, providing personally tailored attention to individuals' needs. The staff cannot seem to do enough for the patients and are led by a dedicated management team. Recommended to anyone who finds themselves in the position of needing to find such facilities.

Overall Experience
I rate the Care Home as 5 stars for a number of reasons
1) The manager is a very happy person and her attitude to life makes the whole Care Home a happy place.
2) The manager and her staff treat residents with respect and do everything they can to make them feel safe and well and looked after.
3) Birthdays are recognised and celebrated.
4) I visit my wife on a regular basis and am always made to feel welcome.

5)My wife is very happy there.

Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident for 11 years I think that speaks in itself.
It’s a small home ( please note that word as it really is home ) the staff have time to get to know each resident.

The management doesn’t stand back but gets involved in personal care if needed.

Review from Gail R (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Exemplary care given to my dad throughout his stay at Bethel House. Even with the challenge of the pandemic, they went over and above to provide access through Skype when family members could not visit. To still be able to see him and talk to him was a gift not to be underestimated.

Even in his last few weeks with us, their empathy, care and tenderness shown to dad and us as a family will not be forgotten.

Reply from Alison Reijman, PR Coordinator at Bethel House

What wonderful words about Bethel House. It was a pleasure caring for your dad, and he will be so missed by all of us. We shall share your lovely review with our team, so they all know how much you appreciate everything they did for your dad.

Review from Warwick J (Son of Resident) published on 12 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Hartford Care continues to provide a quality level of personal care for my Mother, who has been with them for some time now. As a family, we feel confident in Hartford Care as they seem to have met all of our expectations and have even exceeded them in some areas.

It is reassuring to know that my mother is receiving the best care possible given that I am so very far away that regular visits are not feasible.

Review from Nicky B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father was wonderfully cared for during his almost two-year residency at Bethel House. All the staff were incredibly caring and helpful at all times, even when they were busy. As my father’s health began to fail, we were regularly updated on his condition and allowed to visit him as often as we wanted whilst stringently following COVID safe practices. The care from the staff was not only for my father but shown to all members of the family. My mother was greatly comforted by the condolences offered by so many of the Bethel House team members who took time out of their busy shifts to come to speak to her, from the Home Manager, all the Care team members, the Housekeeper and even the Maintenance Technician. Attendance at the funeral was above and beyond the call of duty. We could not have asked for anything more.

We, as a family, are extremely grateful for the care and understanding which has been given on a continuing basis. We are in the knowledge that our family member is in a safe and caring environment, happy in their own way. They couldn't be in a better place and for this, we are forever thankful that he is where he is. The staff are a dedicated group of people having to deal often under difficult circumstances. They make life for the residents joyful.

Abbey DoyleJob Title:Home ManagerJoined: 2012

I am proud to have joined Bethel House. It is important to me that the residents, their families and the staff team feel welcome, cared for and supported to enable them to build good relationships and happy memories for the future.

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.

I joined Hartford Care in January 2017 as a Senior Care Assistant at Bethel House in Barton-on-Sea in Hampshire, subsequently qualified as a Care Practitioner and have since been promoted to Deputy Manager.
