Bethany House

All our bedrooms are situated on the ground floor and include a single bed, an easy chair, an over-table, drawers and a wardrobe. We have 13 en-suite rooms which include a toilet. Bedrooms are centrally heated to a comfortable temperature, which residents (or "family members" as we call those who live with us) can control themselves, and each room has a lockable drawer that may be used for valuables, small amounts of cash and medication. Family members can bring in their own belongings, including small furniture, to personalise their room. A 24-hour call system installed in each room ensures assistance can be called for at all times.

There are two comfortable lounges. The large lounge has an adjacent dining room and the smaller one is well suited as a quiet room or for meeting visitors over a cup of tea or coffee from the drink station. Both lounges overlook the gardens. In summer, family members can use the garden seats to enjoy the sunshine.

We are proud of our dedicated and well-trained team, some of who have worked at Bethany House for many years. A professional attitude is maintained at all times, ensuring courtesy, respect and kindness towards each resident, or 'family member' as we call those who choose to live with us.

We have a staff team of 39 at present and 22 of our staff team have an NVQ2 or above.

We also have two manual handling co-ordinators who have been trained to RoSPA level 3. They in turn trained the care team to RoSPA level 2.

We also have a social activity co-ordinator and a cook supervisor and cook along with a housekeeping team.

The team always ensure that the home is kept clean and well presented and that those who live with us have a well-laundered wardrobe.
