My mother has Alzheimers and came to the Beeches in March 2023. She has always been treated with kindness, patience and dignity by all staff. I have visited most days, at different times, and each time I have, my mum is clean, comfortable and well presented. Even now, when she has been in bed since
May, and very frail, staff always give her wonderful care and attention. Her needs have been changed as her condition has deteriorated and I have always been listened to and consulted. Wonderful place. Food + surroundings lovely too and cannot praise the new manager enough for his approachable style and for listening.

It is never an easy decision to decide that an ageing parent needs to go into residential care. Mu was really struggling on her own, and she made it easier for us by accepting that she could no longer manage alone. In the three years she has been living at The Beeches, I can honestly say that I have
never once doubted that she is in the right place. The staff are wonderful - treating mum with respect, care and empathy. She is so well cared for, always clean, and comfortable. Thank you everyone at The Beeches.

I'm a weekly visitor to 'The Beeches' to visit my friend's mother. I also attended a 60s BBQ on a Saturday in July and all the residents I spoke to and my friend's mother, really enjoyed the experience. There's a family atmosphere and the staff go the extra mile for those they care for! I regularly
recommend that friends check out the Beeches if they feel care is required for a family member. A big 'well done' to the team!

My friend has been well-settled since being here. She has increased appetite and sleeps fairly well. Staff are very good with targeted care and always encourage her to partake in different activities. Staff always have played a pivotal role in providing patient-centred approach to my friend. Staff always
facilitate her by using her own choices of soup, and give her enough time to make her own choices towards choosing what to eat. She has a good rapport with most of the staff.

On behalf of our family, we are very grateful for The Beeches. Our Mum has been a resident for over two years. During that time all of her healthcare needs have been handled with dignity and respect. From the laundry lady, chefs, to all of the supporting staff, team leaders, and managers, we can not
thank you enough for the wonderful care shown, on a daily basis, to out mother, and to the extended family.

Our parents joined the Beeches for respite care, but subsequent hospital visits have necessitated a longer stay. They have been looked after amazingly well and all of the care staff have not only been totally professional, but have also made the Beeches feel like a home from home.
We would not hesitate
to recommend the Beeches to anyone looking for a safe, caring home.

My mother has had a tricky 12 months with losing her balance and confidence in walking. The Beeches care staff have magnificently handled all these low times, including falls and regular ambulance/paramedic intervention, through to rehabilitation and recovery which has been much appreciated.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother is very well cared for and my visits are always plasant. Staff are always friendly and helpful.
My mother says the food is "disgusting" - but she is a very fussy eater. She claims there is "nothing to do" but I think she doesn't choose to join in and give things a try. I feel this is a mix
of personality and dementia.
My feelings are that she is very well looked after, she and her room are always clean and tidy.

Generally the home appears to be well-run. It would be improved if more interaction was possible between residents and care staff. Maybe employ people to talk to residents. Boredom is a problem.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.572)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.572) out of 10 for The Beeches is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.572 for The Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.572
  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 The Beeches is based on 18 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 18 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.
