Beechwood House Nursing Home

My mother was a resident for 5 months up to the time of her death. From the day she arrived, we found the staff to be very professional, caring and attentive. She was well cared for as her condition deteriorated and needed increasing help with her personal and medical needs. The staff were supportive of the family and communication was good. Thank you for all that you did for my mother.

I am so very grateful for all of the support, advice and understanding given during a very difficult time and can’t thank them enough.

Many thanks to them all.

I am writing to applaud the staff of Beechwood House for greatly improving the health of my father over the past 6 weeks. He was discharged from the hospital with multiple conditions and quite poorly. However, under their care and diligence, his health and positive demeanour have vastly improved and we have Dad back. My family are so pleased and grateful to those at Beechwood and their ongoing care for my father. Thank you.

I have found the home to be very caring and very efficient. The care is exemplary. The staff are wonderful. The home is well run and clean, the residents are happy and well looked after. The staff keep you very well informed. I have no qualms in recommending this home most highly.

Look past the ongoing refurbishment and you see a wonderful home, with carers that actually care. After my mothers initial (and understandable) reluctance to move into a nursing home, she is both happy and content. When possible, nothing is too much trouble for both residents and visitors and time is taken to talk through questions and worries. As a child, I couldn't be happier with the home my mother now lives in.

My father in law has mobility problems and dementia, however, I believe he is experiencing some of the best quality of life ever. He loves the food, he loves the company, he loves the activities and (best of all) HE LOVES THE CUDDLES. The manager has a mature and loving approach to care and all the staff are people I like being around.

At the end, the care extended to my husband and myself, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did to prepare us and help us all through.

The staff genuinely care about the patients and their families to the point where they form an attachment. It's that care that's the most important aspect of nursing care. It's a comfort to families to have the trust and confidence in those caring for our loved ones. I just lost my mother and a member of staff attended the funeral. The staff there offered me continued support following her passing. You will not find anywhere else where the care is so consistent and heartfelt. You can't put a price on that.

Every effort was made to keep her dignity. The staff operated as an enthusiastic and happy team and they were all totally involved in the successful running of the home at every level.

This made a happy environment for the many patients where frequent activity created fun and games for many to enjoy. There was an instinctive response from the nurses at spotting patients needing attention and they were incredibly quick at spotting health needs and reacting accordingly. The management of handling dying patients was amazing and made a painful experience easier to bear as they felt the pain too. I would highly recommend this care home.

Beechwood House is like a "home from home!". The residents and visitors are all treated in a friendly but professional way. I have not been able to find any faults over the past 3 1/2 years my father in law has been resident there.

I am more than satisfied with their care and understanding of my husband and myself.

Our family is very grateful for the way we were all treated.

My dad had been going to Beechwood House for the last couple of years for respite care. He spent the last six months as a permanent reside and was very happy there. He would enjoy the sing-a-long afternoons and the quiz, not mention the wonderful food. All staff showed much affection, respect and great care to him. He very sadly passed away in May all the family were able to be with him. Every member of staff was exceptional making his last few days comfortable and dignified. They treated him and our family with so much kindness, love and support throughout a very stressful time. I can thoroughly recommend Beechwood House as a very caring and professional home and express sincere thanks to all members of staff.

Mum had to go into nursing home after period in hospital. The staff at Beechwood were very compassionate and kept us informed at all stages of mum's short stay. They were also very caring towards me and my husband (son of residents) They could not have tried harder to get mum over illness, providing special food when she would not eat etc and contacting doctor at first signs of deterioration. The score for rooms and facilities is only due to the fact the home is in course of refurbishment and from what i saw will be excellent when finished. Sadly mum has passed away but our thanks so to all staff at the home.

From the day we arrived my mum and all us family were made to feel welcome by everyone. The staff quickly got to know mum and all her little ways. They would do anything for her. Beechwood House is in the process of being refurbished- starting on the top floor - mum was on the ground floor where everything was well used and fairly shabby, however this made no difference to the wonderful care she was given. I am sorry she didn't live long enough to enjoy the garden and warmer weather.
