The team at Bethesda Eventide are friendly and caring and has a good relationship with my father, who has been a resident for more than 5-years. They have got to know his ways and routine, and it is lovely to see the interaction they enjoy. His home is of a good size, comfortable and warm, and he spends
most of his time in there, although there is a range of activities he could join in with. The food is varied, and Dad always enjoys it. It is reassuring for us that Dad is well cared for and happy.

Wonderful care for my grandmother. Lots of activities for her and excellent care. A caring and safe environment. The staff are all respectful of each individual and the management team are always keen to include the families in the resident’s activities.

Following a short break at Bethesda from her rented Suffolk independent supported accommodation, my mother chose to stay.
She immediately found a place that was personable and caring. Wholly focused on the mental and physical health of the residents.
As an independent provider of aged care, it has
proven to be an all welcoming environment, strongly focused on those living there.
A focus on seeking external sources of engagement through music, culture, and society realises a weekly program of interesting activities for all of the residents.
Harbouring deep reservations about my mother entering residential care I undertook much research prior to identifying Bethesda in Ipswich.
Subsequently, the management and care support team have realised for us, as a family, a professional yet invested commitment to my mother which is wonderful and humbling,
Bethesda people give a home that is both loving and professional,l ensuring a safe and enabling environment.

Bethesda is a happy and welcoming home. Mum is well cared for and treated with respect. A reassurance to know during covid times. Every day there are engaging activities to get involved with if you want to. We really appreciate the family activities which are well organised and are great opportunities
to be with your loved one to have some fun and laughter in a homely atmosphere. The firework display in November with hot dogs was very good. Mum really enjoys the home-cooked food. There is always a good choice and a cup of tea is provided throughout the day. A nice touch when you visit to make it feel more like home.

My mother loves it here. She is so well looked after by all of the staff. She enjoys the food, activities, themed says, friendly atmosphere and the high level of individual attention and care. The staff communicate with relatives through phone calls, emails, newsletters, zoom meetings and we are invited
to join in the activities and special events any time we can. I am always made to feel welcome and listened to. It really is a special place and I'm so glad we found it!

Dad is well cared for in the home. As his health has deteriorated over the last 12-months, the care and support have increased. The staff are always very welcoming when visiting him, and nothing seems to be too much trouble.
What impresses me the most, when you phone, the staff always know how he is
and where he is without having to look up any notes.
I have friends in the healthcare profession, and when I tell them that Dad is in Bethesda Eventide, they only have good things to say about the home.
I would strongly recommend this home

My father has been a resident for nearly two years and he settled very quickly in to the caring environment. The staff are all very friendly and approachable.


The Homes are well managed and the regular "Family Forum" meetings between management and the relatives of Residents provides helpful information

and feedback.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives. She is happy and content which is also a great relief to me that she is so settled. Staff are friendly and approachable and having regular "family forum" meetings is a good idea so we are kept up to date with future events/any improvement to the care
of patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Bethesda Eventide to any family/friends who are looking for care for a loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.915)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.915) out of 10 for Bethesda Eventide Homes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.915 for Bethesda Eventide Homes is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.915

  • b) 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 Bethesda Eventide Homes is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Tom Horrex

Job Title: Homes Manager

Joined: 2020

Hello, I’m Tom, I joined Bethesda Eventide Homes in May 2020. I have been privileged enough to work in care for 15 years and have been working in management roles for 5 years.


I fell in love with care after regularly visiting great-grandparents in residential care settings. The love and care that they were shown during their later years are what inspired me to commence work within the sector.


I began working in care as a kitchen assistant and enjoyed the feeling of supporting people daily and helping them live fulfilled lives. This passion led to my desire to progress and in 2018 I completed my Level 5 in Leadership and Management and following other Management roles am delighted to be a part of such a special team at Bethesda Eventide Homes.


I find daily satisfaction in helping others to receive appropriate levels of support whilst maintaining their independence. The last chapter of a book is usually the best, and I feel it is a great privilege to be able to help others live a fulfilled life and be part of their later years, whilst leading the brilliant team here to further develop the already excellent care provided at the home.


Residential Care is such an undervalued area, but I am so proud of the way we can make such a difference in our resident's lives, keeping them healthy, active and smiling every day at Bethesda Eventide Homes.
