I was very impressed from my first visit that the residents were considered family and that this was a home for them. Within reason, Mum was allowed to take with her things that would make her room familiar and we could visit when we wanted to. There were many activities Mum could have joined in with
but she preferred to stay in her room. The 'Humming Birds', two ladies with the task of having a daily positive interaction with the residents, is a lovely idea and Mum enjoyed seeing them every day. When Mum approached the end of her life, the support and care for her and me were exceptional. We were very fortunate to find this home for Mum in the last months of her life - if only every care home was like this!

Reply from Tracey Ikerd, Manager at Bethany Christian Home

Hi Sue,
Thank you for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure meeting your mum and spending those precious last moments with her.
Kind regards.

I was impressed with the dedication and gentleness of the staff when treating a terminally ill patient. Staff seem to be very busy, and some small detailed things seem to have slipped a bit, but the overall sense I get is of a dedicated, caring, professional team of carers and support staff who want
to give dignity, compassion, kindness and love to all of the residents. It is always a pleasure to go and visit the residents at Bethany.

I have found the staff very caring and respectful to their residents. The decor seems a little dated but the food and cleanliness is good and nourishing. My mother would like to see more events organised for the residents. She really enjoys the one she attends.

A very good care home with the highest standard of care. I am constantly checked and given pain relief - probably relating to kindness.

The Christian ethos is very evident and comforting. More staff would be helpful as it seems to be more of a nursing home rather than a care home. As a resident with full mental capacity, I find it difficult to cope with at times.

Pleased to be here. My gluten-free diet is always provided for. Have made friends with other residents. Enjoy watching birds outside my window. Have radio and television in my room. Particularly enjoy classical music and nature programmes. Look forward to more visitors and outings. Make full use of
'devotions'.

I have always found the Bethany management and staff caring, kind and willing to go the extra mile to ensure the residents feel safe and loved. This difficult year has been distressing for Mum as well as myself and my family. We are desperate to be close to Mum again, but Bethany has facilitated distanced
visits and enabled contact through FaceTime, which has helped me to ease the separation.

Reply from Emma Hughes, Manager at Bethany Christian Home

Thank you for your kind words.
It is an absolute privilege to care for people at Bethany Christian Home. We are much looking forward to the day when we can welcome residents' loved ones back into our home.

The manager and her Team at Bethany can only be described as totally professional and caring, but not only to the residents ( my Aunt ) but the relatives also. Nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone I've come into contact with.
My aunt has been at Bethany for nearly 6 years and during that time
her care needs have changed greatly. Bethany have totally adapted and cared at every point of this development.
My aunt describes the people around her at Bethany as ' her family ' I think that says it all.

My sister in law has been at Bethany for approximately 3 1/2 years and in all that time has been cared for to a high standard. Her personal and physical care needs are well met. She is happy and secure and her mental health is good. The staff are always friendly, rooms well care for an attractively
decorated. The manager is very approachable and open to any concerns. I like the personalised nameplates on the dining table.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.085)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.085) out of 10 for Bethany Christian Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 4.900 for Bethany Christian Home is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 4.9

  • 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 3.185 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bethany Christian Home is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.4 = 0.185

  • 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.
