My Mum went into Beauchamp House in 2009. Beauchamp House has the most wonderful caring staff that any home could have. Recently my Mum, due to her age, became ill at 91. She had seven great carers at the home and was looked after until the end. If all care homes were like Beauchamp, families would never have to worry about their loved ones.
Thank you for your kind words about the care and support your Mum received at Beauchamp House. Please accept our condolences on your loss.
The staff were extremely caring people, mostly local, so could share local experience with the Residents. The dementia unit (Dragonfly) was for max 7 people, and had plenty of living space for the residents to spend their time. This also provided sufficient space for a reasonable degree of privacy when making family visits. The personal room was sized with sufficient space if the resident wished to spend time sitting in their room as well. They are encouraged to make the rooms their own with some personal effects such as pictures and ornaments. The home was run well, and such incidentals as hair care, chiropody, and daily papers were all organised for each resident. My Father was as happy as he could be in a care home situation, and we very much thank the staff for providing for this.
Thank you for your kind words about Beauchamp House, the Dragonfly unit and the care team. Please accept our condolences for your loss.
I always found the care provided really good. The staff were so warm and caring. It was always kept clean. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I felt confident my grandmother was in good hands.
Thank you for your kind words about the care provided for your grandmother at Beauchamp House.
Fantastic service, staff very friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble. First rate attention to detail and always accommodating to my mothers every need. Thanks for everything.
Thank you for your kind words about the care we provide to your mother at Beauchamp House.
My stepmother had been settling into residential care. She was no longer able to be managed at home, after her most recent prolonged hospital admission, 7 months with bi polar syndrome (36 year history). The staff could not have tried harder to accommodate this 86 year old, who was in physical decline and not behaviourally typical of a dementia patient. They endeared themselves to our whole family, in the 3 weeks before she died unexpectedly on 26/4. My 92 year old father is so pleased his wife was in their care and relaxed with them.
Thank you for your kind words about the support we gave to your stepmother and her family at Beauchamp House and we send our condolences for your loss.
I didn't expect to be here. I have enjoyed it so much. The carers are here to help at any time of day and night. I have enjoyed the meals. I would come again if I needed to. The staff are always very helpful and willing.
Thank you for your kind words about the care you've received at Beauchamp House.
All staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Team leaders were very very good at communication which made things run much smoother than I imagined. The home itself was very well equipped with all mod cons. Also kept very clean and tidy. A good varied menu each day was offered and staff were very responsive to issues. All in all a very well run and kept home.
Thank you for your positive comments about the care at Beauchamp House. It's good to hear that communication and responsiveness are positive elements of our care.
I am the daughter of a resident who has had several stays with this care home. She has always enjoyed her stay and not wanted to leave. She comes home reluctantly, clean and with her hair looking lovely. She says nothing is too much trouble for the staff and that it all flows smoothly. She is always looking good when she leaves and I as her carer feel good every time I leave her there.
Thank you for your kind review of the care we provide to your mother at Beauchamp House.
She says she enjoys being here and that is a lovely feeling (as her son). We don't worry about her any more. She says she eats well and sleeps well. All her family would like to send all the thanks to all the staff for their wonderful care.
We found the service excellent from start to finish. Friendly caring staff for both resident and family. Clean and good food. Excellent activities.
Thank you for your kind words about the care and facilities at Beauchamp House.
Staff are wonderful really caring. Staff make residents feel secure. Individual care.
Thank you for your lovely comments about the team at Beauchamp House.
My mum was a resident at Beauchamp House for 10 months, all that time she was very happy, and the care she had was excellent in every way. We didn't every find anything we were not happy with, it has top marks from us as her family, and when she passed over. The care we had as her family was tops as well, cannot speak too highly of Beauchamp House.
Thank you for your kind comments, we're pleased we were able to care for your Mum and your family. Please accept our condolences for your loss.

Meet the Team (1)

I have worked in care for 20 years, rising from the role of care assistant to my current role as manager of Beauchamp House. I have a passion for person centred dementia care, and enjoy talking to our residents, who all have great stories to tell. I enjoy meeting with people to help them when they move into our home, helping them with becoming part of our community, forming new friendships and generally settling in to living with us – there really is no greater achievement.
