Beechy Knoll
from Tracey D (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

At very short notice we had to place mom in respite care. Mum had never been to this care home before, the one she was used to was not available. This was an extremely anxious time for us. When I contacted the manager she was very eager to support me & offered a room for the dates required. Although

this was very thoughtful I was still very anxious because mum is from an Afro Caribbean background It was important that mums cultural needs would be met. I was so touched to observe the kindness and warmth shown to mum on her arrival. During a conversation with the manager I had told her how mums faith is very important to her. The manager had clearly remembered this & mums name tag included a picture of a preacher& gospel choir.This was a heartfelt personal touch to ensure mum felt comfortable & welcomed. This was the start of a fantastic respite placement for my mum that continued to the end including welcoming mums church congregation to the care home. This was very important to mum.

Reply from Marina Glaves, Resgistered Manager at Beechy KnollThank you for taking the time to complete this reveiw, it was a pleasure to welcome Mum and her Church friends and family into Beechy Knoll. It was warming to see how Mum was involved in activities and was very comfortable chatting to other residents and staff. It would be a pleasure to welcome Mum again should she need any further support.

from J H (Friend of Resident) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It looks very Cosy, but can be noisy on occasions, with residents and staff shouting in corridors.
I think they have a lot to deal with and could do with more staff on.
The staff appear lovely and try to help you as much as they can.
The conservatory is a very relaxing warm and Cosy place to go for

a family meeting. Or even just for a place to recharge.

Reply from Marina Glaves, Resgistered Manager at Beechy KnollThank you for taking the time to write the review, it can become noisy at times when everyone is moving around in the corridor. The staff team are very committed to the residents and there are always staff on duty. Visitors are welcome to use the conservatory and the garden area, we also encourage families to join their loved ones for a meal in the conservatory.

Overall Experience

We can never thank the manager and the staff at Beechy enough for the kindness and care they showed to my sister, and to us, her family, particularly towards the end of her life. She had suffered from increasingly severe dementia throughout her stay there but she was always made to feel special and

encouraged to join in the many activities and celebrations with such patience and care from the staff. The food was excellent and everyone was always well presented.
Thank you so much to you all.

Reply from Marina Glaves, Resgistered Manager at Beechy KnollThank you for taking the time to complete this reveiw, we enjoyed supporting you and your family, you will be sadly missed. At Beechy Knoll we strive to support all that live, visit and work here.

Review of
Athorpe Lodge
from Alison C (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our experience as a family with a relative in Athorpe Lodge was a very positive one. I don't think dad would have come home if he hadn't had the care and physiotherapy that he got at Athorpe Lodge. We cannot thank the staff enough for all they did for him, and that goes for the cleaners, the carers,

the physios and everyone in between; they were all amazing. My parents are both 92, and although my mom wasn't a patient, the respect and care they were both shown was second to none. I would fully recommend Athorpe to anyone who needs a safe place for their parent or relative to be looked after. I can't think of a negative word to say about my dad's experience in Athorpe. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Overall Experience

I have a mum and a sister in Beechy Knoll! I had no real prior experience of a care home setting and so, I honestly didn't know what to expect. Since day one, I can only say it has been amazing. I have turned up unannounced many times and the staff have always been amazing. My mum and sister are very

happy living here and I have no complaints whatsoever about anything.

My friend has lived in Beechy Knoll for a year. She is looked after by dedicated, caring staff who are always friendly to her, despite her sometimes challenging behaviour. She is always clean and well-dressed. The food is home-cooked and excellent, she has a weekly manicure from the excellent events

coordinator. The management and nursing staff are friendly, approachable and always willing to help. My friend could not be in a better place.

I can't praise all the staff at Beechy Knoll highly enough. Nothing is too much trouble and they really care about their residents and even us relatives too!
My mum has been here for over two years and then my dad has been here just over a year.
I know they are so well cared for and looked after and

knowing they're together means such a lot.
Everywhere is spotlessly clean and the food is amazing.
There are activities for the residents which they love.
I would definitely recommend Beechy Knoll to anyone.

from Sue W (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum was in Athorpe Lodge for just over 3 months and in that time she received excellent care.
The staff are caring, and compassionate and go above and beyond to help.
As well as supporting my mum the staff were a huge support to me too.
The food was excellent, and the bedrooms were of a high standard

and decorated beautifully.
Sadly my mum passed away on the 22nd of November 2023, but I know she was very happy at Athorpe.
I just want to say a huge thank you to 6 members of staff in particular and the other staff for looking after my mum and me.
I will be forever grateful for everything you did for my mum and dad.
I would recommend Athorpe 100%.

My brother has been a permanent resident at Athorpe for nine months and his complex needs have been met in a kind and compassionate way. The staff throughout the home have been brilliant from the start. I can't fault their attitude or commitment and would recommend Athorpe Lodge to anyone looking for

a similar level of care for a loved one.

Overall Experience

I visit at all times including weekends. Staff are always pleasant professional and happy to help. Clients all appear comfortable and settled.
Dignity and respect are important to me and the care of a dearly beloved friend is my highest priority, the home appears to have the balance just right. Also

trying to encourage a little independence.
I’ve been visiting weekly since October 2022 and have had no issues at all. I put satisfactory for food as I wish they would provide whole meal bread not white and a greater variety of cereal. But it’s a minor grumble when overall I find it excellent and I’m very picky.

Their attitude is so wonderful, always caring, always respectful and always doing their best for my aunt. Her room is lovely and always spotless, the food is delicious and freshly

My mum has been in Athorpe Lodge for a year now on Clarence Ward. I am so happy with the care she receives. 2 members of staff, in particular, are so helpful (even face timing on Christmas Day to speak to mum, as I live two and a half hours away). The staff go beyond the call of duty and mum is very

happy.

Overall Experience

When my mum moved into Beechy Knoll in December 2021 I wasn't able to be there with her to make sure she was okay. I had planned to visit her throughout 2022 but due to issues with my own health, I wasn't able to. Throughout that time when I spoke to her it was great to hear how happy and well she sounded.

When I was finally able to see her with my children last week it was such a relief to see how well she was doing for them and me. I have nothing but praise for the staff and the care they have given her and also the kindness they showed us on our visit. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Overall Experience

My mum has been on the Balmoral section of Athorpe Lodge and the treatment and care mum has received has been outstanding. The staff are amazing, they are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you or any member of your family is in need of this type of service then look no further

than Athorpe Lodge. It is our first dealing with anything like this and I'm glad my mum has been treated with dignity and respect. The food in Athorpe is plenty and very tasty. My mum is one of the world's pickiest eaters, she has eaten pretty much everything that has been cooked and actually put weight on whilst being in Athorpe, very happy about that. Thank you to all the staff at Athorpe, you have all been amazing, very much appreciated.

Reply from Kathleen Harrison, Manager at Athorpe LodgeThank you for your positive review in relation to the care your mum received, both myself and staff are pleased that your mum enjoyed her time with us and that her rehabilitation went well.
