Initial Capacity
Bethshalom can presently accommodate up to 25 residents who are able to walk and remain physically active.
Bethshalom, located at Pottanchira, Edavattom P.O., Thalayolaparambu, Kottayam District, is a ministry of Bethlehem Charitable Trust. It is a residential care home for elderly persons and others who are able to walk and remain physically active, yet need a safe, supportive and loving place to live.
Here, residents receive dignified accommodation, nutritious meals, everyday care, companionship and spiritual encouragement in a peaceful, Christ-centred environment — helping them live with purpose, comfort and hope.
Bedridden patients and those requiring palliative care are cared for at Bethlehem Geriatric Care Home, where specialised nursing and medical support are available. Bethshalom is dedicated to those who can move about independently and benefit from an active residential setting.
Bethshalom begins with a focused residential capacity and looks ahead with a clear vision — to welcome more residents as God provides and as the premises expand.
Bethshalom can presently accommodate up to 25 residents who are able to walk and remain physically active.
Additional beds will soon be added so that Bethshalom can welcome up to 30 residents with the same standard of care.
Our long-term vision is to extend the premises and grow Bethshalom to accommodate up to 100 residents.
At Bethshalom, every resident is supported with practical care, warm companionship and a home-like atmosphere that encourages independence, dignity and wellbeing.

Freshly prepared, hygienic and wholesome meals served with care each day.
Regular health checks and medical attention to support everyday wellbeing.
A caring community where residents share fellowship, friendship and belonging.
Prayer, encouragement and spiritual support rooted in Christian love and compassion.

Bethshalom is more than a place to stay. It is a home where residents who can walk and remain physically active are encouraged to live with independence, companionship and dignity — within a safe and loving community.
Our caregivers walk alongside each resident with patience and respect, attending to daily needs while nurturing emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We believe that even when age or circumstance brings change, every person deserves purpose, peace and a place to belong.
Those who are bedridden or need palliative care receive specialised support at Bethlehem Geriatric Care Home. This clear distinction allows Bethshalom to focus fully on ambulatory residential care, while ensuring every person finds the right setting for their needs.
By God’s grace and with the support of compassionate partners, we look ahead to grow Bethshalom — increasing capacity, strengthening care and welcoming more residents into a home of peace.
Add beds in the near future so Bethshalom can care for up to 30 ambulatory residents.
Extend the campus and facilities to support our long-term vision of serving up to 100 residents.
Deepen fellowship, activities and pastoral care so every resident feels known, valued and at home.
Your prayers, sponsorships and generous gifts help us care for residents today and grow towards a home that can welcome many more. We warmly invite you to walk with Bethlehem Charitable Trust in this ministry of compassion.
