About Bethany House

Bethany House is a purpose-built 26-bed residential care home just outside Preston, Lancashire.

We offer residential care for older people and can provide respite care to those who need it and we are able to offer care at the end of life.

At Bethany House we have an active social life in which residents can take part or follow their own pursuits. Planned together with residents and our dedicated volunteers, a programme of in-house and external activities, led by the activity coordinator, takes place every month.

Our activities include singing, games, armchair exercises, baking, gardening, craft activities, pampering and lots more. Various activities take place in the lounge, and we can take the activity to a person’s room as needed.

Bible study groups meet regularly, and we have morning devotions in the lounge, led by staff members, as well as Sunday devotions led by our pastoral worker or local church leaders and volunteers. We also provide support for personal devotion and prayer. We organise trips out for those who are able, as well as visits from schools, churches and other local groups, which helps to keep those who live with us in touch with their local community.

Purpose


More about our home

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.

About our team

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.
