My mother has now had 3 years residency at Beane River View even during this time she has received exceptional care by all the staff and management without exception. The combination of care, medical attention and good nutrition have resulted in mum achieving a stable and healthy condition whilst suffering
the chronic symptoms of dementia. A massive thanks to the team who have really pulled out the stops during this year's events.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Beane River View

Thank you for your kind words of praise for the high quality of care provided by the staff and management at Beane River View, who have looked after your mother for the past 3 years.

Having moved mum from another care home where she wasn't happy, she now appears extremely settled and happy. She gets on well with the staff who are extremely friendly, helpful and caring. As he has been away for most of September, I have been unable to give the manager an 'excellent' rating, however,
this is no reflection on him and there have been no issues with general management of the home. All in all, I am very happy with mums placement at Beane River View.

Mum was at Beane River for 13 months. The carers were all very kind, caring and humorous. Food was excellent and the home was kept clean. Due to the distance, I would only visit once a week. Therefore, I didn't know how many activities took place each week. The cinema and made-up pub are very good.

I and family are really pleased with Beane River's attention to detail and wish to support both the individual at Beane River and the spouse and family. The house feels like a home. Care is thorough and sympathetic and the staff's care includes not only the new resident but also the resident's spouse.
The Manager and his team are a blessing.

Mum is very happy and settled at the home, she only has good words to say and is very happy to return "home" after either I or my sisters have taken her out. All the staff are fantastic and can not do enough, absolute credit and joy to talk to. Her room is always clean and smelling, she compliments
the food and her own shower has made a great difference.

Dad has resided here since April 2016. He has vascular dementia. As his needs have changed they have been met by introducing dementia resources. When dad is ill a doctor is called and I'm updated with the results.
All the carers seem to know dad and his needs. They are always very friendly and attentive.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Beane River View

Thank you for this lovely review praising the attentiveness of the staff and the care that your father receives at Beane River View.

I feel very relieved that I know that my relative is always well looked after, is kept safe, comfortable, well-fed and as contented as possible in the circumstances of dementia. I have been impressed by how much effort and imagination staff and management have put into the communal life of the home,
especially at Christmas. I have also always been kept well informed of any medical situations occurring.

Beane River View is a caring, secure home for my mum.
She regularly comments on the lovely staff and how happy she is to be there.
The activities are engaging; my mum recently started singing with the choir and a concert was held at Christmas.
Staff keep me informed if they have any concerns about
my mum.

Excellent care. All staff are very professional but treating residents as important individuals with specific needs. Interior is always sparkling clean, bright, attractive with "memory corners and areas"
Menus varied to suit every palette and residents encouraged to eat and drink at regular intervals.
Beane River View is indeed a "home from home".

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.623)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.623) out of 10 for Beane River View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.623 for Beane River View is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.623

  • b) 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 Beane River View is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Our Managers typically hold, or are working towards, a relevant qualification and have proven experience in caring for older people.

Job Title: Administrator

The Administrator will focus on the smooth running of the home; in whatever area they may be needed. From greeting visitors to recruiting, the Administrator is present in many aspects of life in the home, even if you don’t always see them! To be successful in the role, our Administrators have to be flexible and calm, able to multi-task and always keen to take on a new challenge. It’s often the Administrator that brings the IT skills to a home, helping them to keep everything organised. Above that though, Administrators are communicators, able to speak confidently and listen closely to everyone from Managers and Care Workers to visitors and residents.
