The interior has been redecorated and new furniture and furnishings have been provided to all bedrooms and public areas. Exterior areas have also undergone improvement with a new parking area and landscaping at the front of the home.

Further improvements were undertaken in 2023 that included an additional 3 rooms extension with walk in shower/wet rooms CQC specification during the same period and in early 2024 they had extensive work carried out to landscape their garden area at the back of the home.

Review from Tricia H (Niece of Resident) published on 11 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt who has Dementia has been a resident in Beech House for just over a year. I am extremely impressed with the quality of care the team provides, the staff are always on hand to discuss her care plan, are friendly and above all kind to the residents.
From a well-being perspective, my aunt's hair
is washed and cut regularly, her nails are trimmed, her clothes are clean, the food is good, and all the residents are encouraged to join in activities organised for them. Her bedroom is adequate for her needs, the dining room spacious and bright and the decking area is great for when the weather permits residents to sit outside.
She is very happy there and it is clear to all her extended family that her overall health and well-being have improved since she moved to Beech House.

I can highly recommend Beech House and the care my father received from everyone there. Many of the staff are still the same as when he first arrived, I am sure that consistency was a great comfort to him. I was always kept well informed of his well-being during the Covid crisis, the fact that my father
never contracted the virus shows the lengths they went to protect their vulnerable residents. Whenever I visited him, the staff always took the time to tell me how much they liked my father and he in turn seemed very happy in their company. The kindness shown to me and my family on his passing was very touching. I have only good memories and thoughts of his time at Beech House. A big thank you to you all.

Dad was admitted to Beech House in January 2021, which with Covid, was not ideal but the entire team at Beech House couldn't have been more helpful. The team are absolutely fabulous and we are delighted that Dad has benefitted from the same consistent team since then - care, activities, admin & manager
- which we think is very important. The home is rightly being cautious about opening up fully to a pre-Covid position which would enable us to see more of the day-to-day operation. But we have no doubt, that when this happens, we will be equally delighted with what we discover.

My father went to live in Beech House in August 2020 and we have been delighted with the care he has received. All the staff have been really helpful and understanding and he settled in quickly. The manager and staff are always available to chat on the phone and the precautions to protect against Covid
are very well managed. Activities are organised on a regular basis to stimulate and give pleasure to the residents and it is possible to follow this on the Facebook page. The outside area is very welcoming for the residents to sit in during the warmer months. A huge thank you to Beech House, which is to be highly recommended.

My mum has been at Beech House since about September 2020 and she has really flourished since arriving. The staff and everyone associated with Beech House has made my mum comfortable safe and happy again. Thank you Beech House.

I am really happy with the care mum receives at Beech House, especially in the difficult times with COVID 19; the care cannot be faulted. The staff are kind and caring and this has helped mum settle in. The genuine rapport between Mum and the staff makes me feel confident that she is safe and well cared
for physically, but more importantly emotionally. I would not hesitate to recommend Beech House.

I'm very pleased with the care my mum receives in the home, especially now with these strange times with Covid-19. We have been kept informed, and they are very helpful when we phone and Whatsapp in, to speak with Mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Beech House care team have been very helpful, kind and understanding about the specific needs of a wonderful gentleman who I helped to move in.


The friendly and homely house welcomed him from day one into their activities and started to find out his likes, needs and favourite foods too - there

are wonderful aromas of home cooking every day.
The home manager is approachable about all matters so I recommend a visit if you are considering this home for someone you care about.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The home is secure and good value for money and well managed. Care staff work very hard and are caring and kind. They are always welcoming to visitors. Some areas of the home need updating and décor refreshed/updated. Some windows need replacing. Activities are good but need improving to accommodate
residents with advanced dementia. The home helps and encourages residents to maintain outside interests, although sadly this has stopped due to relatives level of dementia.

Review from Stephen (Son of Resident) published on 10 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum is cared for and well presented. Mum is sometimes difficult and yet staff deal with her with humour and kindness. She is happy there but cannot actually tell us what she does - due to the dementia! Her room is well cared for and she is dressed in her own clean clothes. She can be difficult and
staff appreciate this and share the information with us, they let us know when there have been issues, and what these issue are. Food is good and as a visitor I have been offered lunch when I arrived at an inopportune moment. Mum is keen to come out for a while and have a ride around but actually wants to go back there if we bring her to our house. Dementia is dreadful and the team at Beech House do their very best to make it as painless as possible.

My mother has been treated very well and all her needs seem to be met. It is good to see her sitting in the lounge more often rather than in her room. Care needs to be taken when washing clothes as some tops/cardigans seem to be washed on too high a setting.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Beech House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.856 for Beech House is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.856
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beech House is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
