In the short time our mother has been a resident at The Hyde Care Home, it has felt like joining a family. Everyone is so kind and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The residents enjoy the most beautiful country location is an added bonus for both visitors and residents. The staff are extremely
kind and helpful and we feel so much more relaxed knowing mum is safe and content.

As a consultant physician, and recent widower, in retirement, The Hyde provides me with an excellent new home in beautiful wooded surroundings. The Hyde has excellent staff, supportive in every way, with excellent facilities, comfortable accommodation and excellent catering. I doubt that I could find
a better home.

Review from Steve A (Son of Resident) published on 6 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother Catherine lived at the The Hyde Residential care home for nearly 8 years. From the moment that she arrived she it was apparent that it was in the perfect place . She relaxed immediately enjoyed the grandeur of house, the beautiful gardens and the food. It was of course the wonderful staff
that gave my family so much confidence . Their care, kindness and good humour sustained her over that time and through, lest we should forget, a pandemic.
Our heartfelt thanks therefore go out to all those at The Hyde for keeping our mother safe for so long.
Best wishes
Steve

My mother has been at The Hyde since Dec 2024 and I have always been extremely happy with the care she receives. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and professional, there are always a variety of activities available and the grounds are beautiful. I am updated immediately if there is any issue
with my mother's wellbeing and have complete confidence in the care given.

I have been very pleased with the care my sister has received. She has regained weight which she list in hospital and is physically fit for her age (90) as she is taken on regular walks and she enjoys all the varied activities that are hand on. She recently had her 90th birthday and the staff ensured
she had a room available for a party and provided extra food and a beautifully decorated cake at no extra cost.

The Hyde is set in a beautiful setting with a warm welcome to a wooden surrounding hallway, the staff are welcoming and friendly they are true Professionals. The Food is lovely with variation in a beautiful dining room. They do many occupational things daily from skittles, basketball, bingo, and making
jig saws, to crafting and taking part in all occasions, chair excises, dancing, singing, entertainers, flower arranging, cake, biscuits and sweet making, going out around the grounds daily and feeding the chicken and ducks and gardening with staff escorts going on trips.

Review from B S (Wife of Resident) published on 15 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has Parkinson’s Disease and attends daycare regularly at The Hyde and sometimes respite care when I need a break. He enjoys the beautiful gardens in good weather and the peace and quiet of the library at other times. He likes the interaction with residents at meal times and sometimes joins
in the activities.
The management and staff are kind and considerate and allow him to make his own decisions but keep an eye on him in case of falls etc. They help him to be independent but remind him to take his frequent medication doses. He enjoys being at The Hyde, in its happy atmosphere and all the other residents appear to thrive in the next best to family care.

My mum has been cared for sensitively and with love and understanding. This loving environment of love and care from staff members has enabled Mum to feel secure and be involved with social activities as she wishes. Therefore, through the love and care Mum has received, this has definitely benefited
her well-being and given her a good quality of life in her later years. Thank you to all staff members who have contributed to the care of my mum.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.560)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.560) out of 10 for The Hyde Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.785 for The Hyde Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.785
  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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hyde Care Home is based on 11 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 11 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.

Introducing Rebecca Dawe
Home Manager at The Hyde, Bridport


What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?


“Empathy, dignity and wellbeing.”


As a dedicated healthcare professional, Rebecca has gained a wealth of experience in providing care and nursing support to elderly people, to enrich their lives. She is a knowledgeable and dedicated leader who is passionate about delivering the highest standards in care and quality of life for Residents.


Rebecca closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every Resident. She decided to work in the care sector because, as a young child, she helped her grandmother care for children with learning difficulties; this gave her a passion to improve the lives of others.

“Working in an amazing team who are dedicated in providing the highest levels of care.”


Outside of work, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her family, including her sons, and she also enjoys travelling. She counts herself very lucky that she was able to go traveling to East Africa and worked in two orphanages and a maternity hospital.


If you would like to find out more about The Hyde, Rebecca would be delighted to have an informal discussion with you over the phone to answer any questions and provide further information.
