Mum comes twice a week from 10-4pm. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly and Mum always has a huge smile when she sees them. She, unfortunately, can't remember much about her day but she is usually chatting and very animated when I pick her up. I am so pleased she has The Hyde to go to.

My mother has been a resident in The Hyde for almost a year. The care she has received has been wonderful, and she has not always been easy to care for. The staff are incredible and have such patience and kindness. The staff are also very understanding of the worries of the relatives and are in constant
communication. I cannot praise the home more.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This lovely care home is let down by the variety and quality of the food. Older people like basic, home cooking, not fancy multinational dishes. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at The Hyde Care Home

Thank you for your Care Home Review and your feedback is important to us. Thank you for the lovely comments about the team and environment at The Hyde. We note your feedback about the food, and we are currently working on more detailed feedback from residents regarding the food we provide and have discussed with the residents their preferences. We are looking at adapting our menus to suit the residents we have. We are also working with The Hyde’s chef(s) and gardener to ensure we are using fresh produce from our own vegetable garden. Thank you again for taking the time and trouble to let us know your views so we can make care at The Hyde even better.

Every visit is a delight. The home is clean, tidy and ordered and the staff are faultlessly polite, attentive and caring. It's a joy to sit in the beautiful gardens with my mum and have tea on the lawn. Thank you to all at The Hyde for the gentle and attentive way that you care for my mum.

Kindness and respect shown to all - residents and visitors alike. The carers are creative and fun, changing the scenes in the living room/dining room to suit the seasonal events. Daily menu changes and residents can import their own wine - a useful tonic! In all - Bravo!

Beautiful location and home. My father-in-law is quite pleased with the staff's care and food quality. He looks forward to more activities as covid-19 potentially subsides. I've never been inside Hyde House and thus cannot comment due to covid 19 restrictions.

The care provided at The Hyde is fantastic, all the staff go way beyond being a carer it is family. Both my brother and I travel 130 miles to see mum and would not even consider moving her nearer to us.

The staff were exceptionally helpful and provided a level of support and care that demonstrated their genuine love for our relative. As well as being professional and diligent in their care towards our relative, it was all the "small things" that made it a special level of care eg. favourite music,
belongings, pictures etc to ensure our relative felt special and was comforted during a difficult time.

The Hyde provided wonderful care to Mum over the years. They assessed what the hospital thought was an invalid needing palliative care in September 2016, got her walking again, appreciating food, leisure and love.
The thoughtfulness of the staff in recent days, leading up to Mum's passing, has been
wonderful. We're glad Mum was at home (after hospital visit) and so was she. They enabled her to feel confident and peaceful.
The staff always ensured that mum was loved.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Owing to the Covid restrictions, it isn't possible to comment on all the categories. My sister has been in They Hyde since October 29th 2020 and I have never been into her room. She has gradually settled in and seems at home. She certainly looks very well, thanks to regular meals. However, she feels
the quality of the food could be improved, also variety.
Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at The Hyde Care Home

Many thanks for writing a review. Thank you for your very positive comments about how your sister has settled into The Hyde, and that she feels “at home”. This is so important to us, we do try to provide a “home from home” atmosphere and experience for the people who live with us, so thank you. We are pleased to receive your feedback regarding the current food offering at The Hyde and several changes have recently been made. We have moved across to the new Spring Menu in the home, which means that the variety has changed for our residents, and the interim home manager is continuing to check the quality of the food and also the service. We have introduced a new dining experience on a Saturday with a “Themed Meal” of the residents’ choice, and this is being thoroughly enjoyed, and the feedback has been excellent. We have, as you know, a beautiful walled kitchen garden at the back of the house, and we have served our first fresh asparagus from the beds there, with many more.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.664)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.664) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.664 for The Hyde Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 220 Ratings = 4.664
  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 The Hyde Care Home is based on 19 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 19 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.

Rebecca Dawe

Job Title: Home Manager

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.


When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Rebecca remarked:


“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.
