No nasty smells anywhere, all the rooms we saw were beautifully decorated, infact the whole building is decorated lovely, all the flooring is Vynal for good reasons! Security is excellent as is the quality of the fixings and fixtures.
We were shown round by Claire a director of the company along with Head of Housekeeping Jenny.
All the staff are caring and friendly, we knew straight away Betsy Clara would be perfect for my mum.
We moved mum in on Wednesday 3rd June 2026. We cannot fault it I highly recommend Betsy Clara to anyone.

He is my lovely grandpa!
Myself and my cousin Daniel live in the North West whilst auntie Sue has been staying down there to be there for him.
It was our first visit to the home, I've visited grandpa and his wife Carol in Kent a few times.
I was really humbled by how clean, tidy and well organised the home is. The staff all feel so sincere and deeply caring.
This has really put me at comfort knowing grandpa is happy there! He seems to finally be resting and relaxing and enjoying his later life, knowing he is safe.
We are coming back for a Christmas visit next month - feeling grateful.
Thank you Naomi for taking the time to write this review, it is our great pleasure supporting your grandpa, he brings smiles to us all every day

The "challenging behaviour" his last care home reported seemed to disappear as he was warmly welcomed into the caring arms of Betsy's manager and her dedicated team.
Despite visiting at random times, Brian has always appeared well presented and there is always staff available to watch all residents, nobody goes neglected.
If that is not enough, The manager has taken time to check in on me whilst I've been unable to visit due to illness, as well as providing pictures and videos of the residents .
Above and beyond!
Thank you for your lovely words Sue, it is our pleasure to support our residents, and all those who are important to them. We hope everyone feels like important members of the 'Betsy family'.

My mum moved to Betsy Clara in May 2025 as the previous care home she was in could no longer meet her needs. Our first impression on arriving was what a lovely, bright and friendly place it was. Since she has been at Betsy Clara she appears to have settled in nicely and remarkably seems calmer. I'm sure this is down to the wonderful caring staff and the happy atmosphere of the home. Mums room is lovely, bright and tidy and mum herself always looks clean with her hair nicely done. She is eating a lot better too which is great! Although mum hasn't been there long, we as a family know she is getting the best care possible. A big, big thank you to all the staff at Betsy Clara. You are all angels!
Thank you so much for your kind words Teresa. It is lovely to see Mum thriving, and our pleasure to care for her

Mum was transfered to Betsy Clara Nursing Home a few months ago due to a change in her needs. Since becoming a resident here there has been a notable improvement in her general health and well being. The previous care home she was in was clearly well below what could be considered to be of a decent standard. In short, the staff, facilities and general atmosphere at Betsy Clara Nursing Home are incredible! Thank you to all the staff for your care, understanding and commitment in improving mum's quality of life.
Thank you Steve, for your positive comments. Your Mum is a pleasure to care for, and makes us smile every day! Lovely to see her thriving

Although she had severe Dementia she was settled and happy there. Mum could be challenging at times and the team at Betsy handled these episodes extremely when. In the main mum was normally relaxed.
As her Son I found Betsy to be very welcoming. All of the team I found to be passionate about providing the best care that they could.
We could visit during the day at any time, obviously it's best to avoid meal times. The great thing was because we would arrive without the need to phone ahead and we visited in the communal lounge we could see just how well Betsy was being run. It was totally transparent, open and honest.
Mum has now sadly passed, and I will always be grateful to the team for their passion and love that they showed my mum. Thank you for everything that you did.
Thank you for taking time to complete this review. It has been our pleasure to care for your Mum, we shall all miss her, and wish you and Dad well

My dad became a resident at Betsy Clara in February 2024 following the sudden passing of my mother. I cannot recommend Betsy Clara more highly. The staff are all so amazing, kind, caring and so loving to all the residents, and the peace of mind it has given me to know that my lovely Dad is so well looked after has been such a relief. Not only are they amazing for Dad, but they have been a continuous kind and caring support to me. I'm forever grateful that Dad is there, safe and as happy as he can be in his world. The weekly entertainment and activities are fantastic, and it's great to see Dad singing along or having a little dance with a big smile on his face. I can't thank everyone enough for everything they do. Truly amazing people.
My husband has been at Betsy Clara House Nursing Home for just over eighteen months. It is so nice to be able to leave him and know the staff will not only look after him but love him as well. It is home from home.

The staff are caring and looked after Mum extremely well. They managed her Alzheimer's changing behaviour and needs. Mum enjoyed the at least weekly singers and other related music activities. The home caters for all but does splendidly for those with dementia.
Many thanks to everyone at Betsy Clara who looked after Mum and our family so well. It is very much appreciated.
I found the home clean, warm and inviting. The staff are friendly and the food is good. They have a variety of equipment to lift, bathe and help the residents move. Security for the residents is good and their safety is well catered for.

Thank you for your kind words; it was our pleasure to care for your father.

The home may not look like a hotel like the other homes Mum was in, but it's the care that is the most important thing.
The care is the most important thing, and we are so pleased you are happy with the care that is given. Thank you for your lovely review.

This is a review from my brother and I. My father has been here for a while. He is left on his bed lying in urine for a long time, no bed covers on him, the curtain closed at 1.30 pm, the door half closed, the room was so dirty and untaken tablets on the floor, I have seen dog kennels cleaner than this. My father's hands and legs were covered in human faeces, and dried faeces on my father's urine bottle. Tell me where is the care, and this is every time we go there.
The carers are all very friendly and helpful.
Dad seems very happy.
