Bethesda Eventide Homes offer high-quality residential care and day care in a friendly Christian environment for up to 27 residents, including those living with early stages of dementia.

Respite may be available, subject to vacant homes at the time of asking.

A dedicated team of staff is available 24 hours a day to provide care and support and each resident has a care plan tailored to their individual needs, which promotes independence, choice, dignity and respect.

All residents' homes are well-equipped with en-suite facilities and TV and telephone points as well as a personal call system. The refurbished lounge and dining areas are comfortable and spacious areas where residents meet together for meals and to socialise with each other. There is also a smaller lounge which can be used at times when more privacy is required or for family gatherings.

Freshly prepared meals from a varied menu are served in the dining room or, if residents prefer, they can enjoy their meals in their own home.

As well as a full activities and devotional programme, visits from family and friends are always encouraged at any time of the day.

I have to say what a wonderful and loving home Bethesda Eventide home is. The staff are very, very caring and always willing to assist anyone. The residents all seem very happy and content and always involved in activities with the residents. The home is always spotless and full of flowers and love.

My father has been a resident for nearly two years and he settled very quickly in to the caring environment. The staff are all very friendly and approachable.


The Homes are well managed and the regular "Family Forum" meetings between management and the relatives of Residents provides helpful information

and feedback.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives. She is happy and content which is also a great relief to me that she is so settled. Staff are friendly and approachable and having regular "family forum" meetings is a good idea so we are kept up to date with future events/any improvement to the care
of patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Bethesda Eventide to any family/friends who are looking for care for a loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Bethesda Eventide Homes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.806 for Bethesda Eventide Homes is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.806

  • b) 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bethesda Eventide Homes is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Tom Horrex

Job Title: Homes Manager

Joined: 2020

Hello, I’m Tom, I joined Bethesda Eventide Homes in May 2020. I have been privileged enough to work in care for 15 years and have been working in management roles for 5 years.


I fell in love with care after regularly visiting great-grandparents in residential care settings. The love and care that they were shown during their later years are what inspired me to commence work within the sector.


I began working in care as a kitchen assistant and enjoyed the feeling of supporting people daily and helping them live fulfilled lives. This passion led to my desire to progress and in 2018 I completed my Level 5 in Leadership and Management and following other Management roles am delighted to be a part of such a special team at Bethesda Eventide Homes.


I find daily satisfaction in helping others to receive appropriate levels of support whilst maintaining their independence. The last chapter of a book is usually the best, and I feel it is a great privilege to be able to help others live a fulfilled life and be part of their later years, whilst leading the brilliant team here to further develop the already excellent care provided at the home.


Residential Care is such an undervalued area, but I am so proud of the way we can make such a difference in our resident's lives, keeping them healthy, active and smiling every day at Bethesda Eventide Homes.
