My mother has been a resident at Bethune Court for 4 years. Since she has arrived she has had excellent care . The staff are lovely and many are still working there four years on. My mother's needs are met on a daily basis. She is always clean and dressed in appropriate clothing .. even down to
colour coordinating. The residence is always clean and tidy .whenever you visit
The whole team working there are friendly and always available to discuss matters good or bad in person or over the phone .
I would recommend Bethune Court to anyone considering moving into a residential care home .

Anne and her wonderful team are so kind and professional nothing is too much trouble and are a constant help to us tring to secure a long term residency or Mum.
The home is more like a hotel with wonderful activities for residents, fabulous food spotlessly clean, I cannot praise every member of the team enough for giving us peace of mind knowing Mum is happy settled and content and making new friends and being stimulated daily.

I moved here 3 months ago and wish I had moved sooner. I am happy and feel safe. I get on with the staff. I am having trouble with bedroom door it makes a banging noise when coming in or out and wakes me up at night.

2 1/2 months since Cynthia moved in Bethune Court, and I'm quite happy - because she's happy. As good as it gets.

Our mum arrived at Bethune Court in February 2025, after a 20 week spell in hospital. Whilst in hospital, Mum had food, medication and was basically left either in bed or on her chair. She was not thriving at all! (Very little interaction!) When Mum arrived at the home, everything changed, and even
though it was very difficult for her to adapt at first, through the patience, kindness and 100% support of all the staff here, we feel we have got our mum back!!
She is thriving and happy (even if she does not show it!!) xxx

My Dad moved into Bethune as a permanent resident back in October 2024. He was living independently beforehand but had a fall and so more care was needed.
We have been very impressed with the staff at Bethune. They work extremely hard to accomodate over 40 residents all with different needs.
They are kind and compassionate and take time to solve any worries that my Dad has had since his admission.
The room is spacious and kept clean and my dad is free to come and go as he pleases within reason so he still feels independent to a point. The meals always look good and the kitchen staff work hard to look after everyone's requirements which is no mean feat!
The daily entertainment is varied and there is always something to join in with
The office staff have been amazing. They follow up any queries quickly and efficiently and always have a smile!
We feel so much relief knowing that when we leave Dad after visiting him that he is in very safe hands.

My Dad has been here for 6 months now. Bethune Court hits very high marks in every respect. The thing that stands out above all is the staff. Professional, friendly and very patient. A great team.
Keep it up

The first month of my mum's stay at Bethune Court has been a rollercoaster of emotions for her and the family. The staff at Bethune Court have helped to smooth this transition and cannot be praised enough. Nothing is too much trouble for them as they continue to put my mum's needs at the top of
their agenda. Their door is always open and they are keen to offer advice and a smile. The home itself is clean, fresh and welcoming and I would not hesitate in recommending it for your loved one.

We are very pleased with the care Mum has received since moving to Bethune Court. Having previously been very independent, she initially found it difficult to adjust to living in a care home but with the support of all the kind and patient staff, she has slowly but surely started to settle. She
enjoys taking part in some of the many and varied activities on offer. Unfortunately, Mum has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and the staff are doing everything they can to support both Mum and us, as a family, on this journey.

What started out as a trial respite has turned into a permanent stay as I have had a health problem diagnosed. I couldn't be happier with Bethune Court. Mum has settled in so well, she loves the food and is making friends. She has gone from being at home, feeling isolated to chatty and cheerful.
From the very first visit, we've been made welcome and the communication has been great. Thank you to all concerned for making the transition so smooth.

The home is friendly and welcoming. Everyone is so helpful and polite. Mum has settled in very well and is very happy with the activities. She went on an outing recently and enjoyed it very much. If I ever have a query, the admin staff are wonderful and so helpful.

A beautiful view in a lovely, large room and friendly, caring staff have helped my aunt settle quickly after the difficulty of having to leave her home. The team at Bethune Court have been extremely supportive in both finding her a place where she can be happy, after unsuccessful viewings of other
homes in the area and ensuring that administrative needs are dealt with quickly and simply. As I live far from the area it is particularly important to know that my aunt is well cared for, and from my experience so far I would definitely recommend this care home.

Excellent home, all staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My mother is very happy here. Her room is very pleasant and very clean and staff are always popping in to see she's OK throughout the day. A very professionally run home and everyone is always available for any questions we
may have. I couldn't recommend this care home highly enough.

Bethune Court is just beautiful. The building is set out in a way to give residents plenty of room to move around and longes are very visitor friendly. The staff are absolutely wonderful, always smiling, polite and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. I feel confident that my mother is well
cared for, and it is always a pleasure to visit the home.

Since my mother, now 98, arrived five years ago she has had excellent care from the
the kind and very helpful staff. I have always felt welcome and been able to communicate
with them about dealing with my mother's increasing frailty.
The modern, well-decorated building set in attractive
gardens has a pleasant, upbeat atmosphere, and the meals provided are tasty, nutritious and well-presented. The thoughtful, compassionate staff provide a fine service and I feel able to rely on them.
13 December 2023
The home is exceedingly clean and tidy and the residents are well cared for. Food is of a high standard. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Rooms are all clean, bright and airy. The only negative is the lack of daily activities, quite a few of the residents say they feel these are nowhere as good
as they were twelve months ago.
