A very warm welcome to Bethshan Nursing Home, our 37 bedroom nursing home situated in Whitehaven, with glorious views of St Bee's rolling hills from it's elevated position. Here at Bethshan we care deeply for each and everyone of our residents, who very quickly become our friends. We may be a bigger home with a bigger community but we aim to treat everyone as a precious individual.
Within Bethshan Nursing Home we have three separate wings; Rose, Iris & Daisy. This is hugely beneficial so that we can maintain a home-from-home feel which is cosy, warm & nurturing, our staff remain on 'their' wing wherever possible so that continuity of care is maintained and positive, secure relationships can be formed. We are there for each one of our residents, to meet their needs, NEVER the other way round. We pride ourselves on this ethos and hope that it is obvious to see if you decide to visit.
​
During the day you will always find 1 nurse, 6 senior carers/carers as well as other members of staff. During the night we have 1 nurse and 2 carers in the home to meet the needs of all our residents. We offer 24 hour care for both long term and respite needs and will be more than happy to discuss your requirements & help you in making a fully informed choice.
​
Across both Bethshan & Bethany House we have a dedicated activities co-ordinator who arranges lots of things for our residents to do.
