Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care manager has been extremely caring and helpful in arranging and preparing for Mum to come and stay at Bethany house. She carried out a thorough and considerate assessment, listening to Mum's physical, emotional, spiritual, social and partners. I visited prior to Mum moving there and found all
the staff friendly and welcoming. They were caring in their approach to the residents and it had a very homely and family oriented feel. It was good to see the menu display and home cooked food being prepared. Everyone looked happy and well presented. After a week, Mum seems to have settled in well with staff and residents being welcoming and friendly, meeting individual needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad spent his final years under the care of Bethany House colleagues . It was always obvious how much they cared for and respected him. Every time we visited the staff were always friendly and engaging , no matter how busy they were . Dad loved his time in Bethany House , a proper home from home .
Friendly,
caring staff in a safe , clean and well maintained environment , good home cooked food and plenty of fun and activities , what's not to recommend?
Though Dad is no longer with us , our memories of his time with the colleagues of Bethany House will stay with us forever

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.362)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.362) out of 10 for Bethany 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.900 for Bethany House is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.9
  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 4.462 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bethany House is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.2 = 0.962
  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.
