My mother-in-law was only at Beechwood for a short time but during her time there she was treated with so much compassion and respect. All of the staff at Beechwood are amazing, nothing was ever too much trouble. There was always a kind word, a hug when needed and they helped us through a very difficult
time when mum passed away.

During the ten weeks that my wife was in Beechwood Nursing Home, she was cared for with love, dignity and professionalism. The staff were not only caring towards my wife, but were concerned also for me and visiting friends and family, constantly offering tea, cake and kind words.
I must mention not
only the wonderful medical and admin staff, but also the amazing people running the kitchen and the cleaners.
My wife died in May but her passing was made infinitely easier for us by the advice and ministrations of the nurses and carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was transfered there for paliative care.
She was given a beautifully decorated room close to the nurses station. During her 2 months there she was cared for as though she was their own relative. Unable to speak, it was clear from her reaction to the staff entering the room that she had a
very close relationship with them.
As a relative they were absolutely wonderful to us during a very emotional period for us. They were supportive, kind and so understanding. Mum passed away there this week and they supported her and us every step of the way.

I'm a friend of a resident who has been in the home since discharge from hospital last June. The care and professionalism of carers, nurses and kitchen staff is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble.
Not only do they care for residents but they are there for family and friends alike. They are
reassuring in difficult times and always there with a friendly face.
Their website says family and this is certainly one big family.

The staff could not have been more helpful or caring, they are all dedicated to the comfort and best quality care for all their patients. My experience from my husband's admission to his death could not have been made any easier. They are very friendly and always ready to explain or assist at every

Review from Jane C (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we cannot praise or recommend all of the staff at Beechwood House enough. My dad came to Beechwood in January 2024 for end-of-life care after being in hospital for 3 months. Sadly he died after only 2 weeks of being in their care however, we wish he had spent longer as the care and attention
he received was amazing. This home is run superbly, all the staff are polite yet genuinely caring not only to their residents but to families as well. My mum was supported during his last weeks by the staff and was not left out of any decision that was made concerning his care and was made to feel welcome as we all were even during busy times. He was kept so clean and dressed appropriately- unlike the busy hospital he left where all he wore was a gown despite us changing him to his own pajamas! The food was exceptional which was available to us as well during our visits.
Beechwood House cares with all of the NHS values at the forefront of all they do.
Thank you.

Both of my parents are very happy at Beechwood House, Mum has been a resident for several months and Dad has arrived more recently. They were both made to feel welcome from the moment they arrived and settled in very quickly. The care they receive has never been short of exceptional. All of the staff
are always so cheerful, considerate and caring; there is a real family vibe that makes it feel very homely. As visitors, we are greeted warmly at any time of day and we're kept up to date on Mum and Dads wellbeing. We always leave the home in good spirits, reassured that their individual needs are being well catered for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad spent the last 5 months of his life at Beechwood House and we couldn't have wished for a better place for him to spend those months.
Coming out of hospital very poorly and disorientated, it didn't take him too long to settle in and improve as much as his condition would allow and this was down
to the care and attention of the wonderful staff and the great cooking from the kitchen staff!
He built up a real rapport with many of the staff and had such lovely banter with them and genuinely seemed very happy there.
There is a real family feel and you are made to feel welcome at whatever time of day you go in!
My dad was listened to by all members of staff who would carry out his wishes but were very mindful of his safety as they were of all their residents.
The dignity that he was treated with at the end of his life was overwhelming and we can't express how grateful we are for that and the support they gave the family.
I would 100% recommend the team at this nursing home 5*.

I would like to say that every time I have called the home and visited, we have been made to feel very welcome. The staff are cheerful, and everybody you see speaks and smiles. They were prompt in answering the call bell and always happy to help. They all banter with my mother-in-law, and they take
time to chat with her, even though she is very deaf.
There was only one issue in the bathroom, the raised toilet seat was dirty, and there was no toilet roll or hand towels. You are all doing an amazing job.

My mum was a resident at Beechwood for only a short time but was given excellent care and attention. Staff were excellent at communication constantly updating wherever the needs arose to discuss and always including the family about mum's care.
The love, respect and dignity mum was given when she

Since I wrote my previous review last June, I have to say that the very high and professional level of care that the staff at Beechwood House have given to my dear wife has never once faltered. It gives me such peace of mind to know that she is receiving the best care possible 24 hours a day, 7 days

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for Beechwood House Nursing Home 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.941 for Beechwood House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 136 Ratings = 4.941
  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 Beechwood House Nursing Home is based on 12 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 12 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.

Hayley McGuinness

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2021

After the birth of my daughter in 2007, I decided to pursue a career in healthcare. I began my journey as a carer at Queen Alexandra Hospital, working within the endocrine and complex health ward while attending evening classes to prepare for university. In 2009, I was accepted into Southampton School of Health Sciences, where I earned an advanced diploma in adult nursing. Following my qualification in 2012, I briefly worked in a nursing home before joining the NHS on a preceptorship programme in offender healthcare, based within a prison. I also took on the role of a bank forensic nurse practitioner, providing support to the local police in their custody suites.
Over the course of three years, I gained invaluable experience in crisis management and emergency care, working in a fast-paced and challenging environment. This experience strengthened my clinical skills and prepared me for a return to elderly care. From 2016 to 2019, I progressively advanced through roles from Senior Night Nurse to Clinical Lead and eventually Deputy Manager across two care companies.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was entrusted with the responsibility of acting manager, guiding my team and ensuring the safety of both staff and residents during an unprecedented global health crisis. This experience enhanced my leadership abilities and equipped me with the skills necessary to step into my current role as the registered manager of Beechwood House, a position I have held since January 2021.
