This home is absolutely outstanding, my mother has been in the home for eighteen months and has settled in so well. This would have only been possible because of the fantastic care she has had. All of the staff are wonderful and will always go that extra mile to help.

Having been in this care home two and a half years, I regard this place as my home. Staff are helpful and caring and nothing is too much trouble. Personal care and attention is very good, with hairdressing services available on a weekly basis.

My mother has been a resident for just four months and is a different woman due to the care and attention given to her by the manager and with every member of staff. The facility is of the utmost level for any care home that I have been to before and only too pleased we found it.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am very happy here with my friends. Staff are very good to us. Staff are very friendly and helpful. My room is very clean and tidy. The food is alright, would like different menu changes or special nights e.g. Fish and chips. Entertainment is brilliant. Love the singers and Power Hoop classes. Would
like to go out in garden with assistance. Love having my hair done weekly.

Mum is cared for very well, always clean, well fed. All staff seem to love her as she can be a nightmare and her face always lights up when one appears. Overall, we are very grateful to all of them and we feel very humble that we don't do it ourselves. We are always made very welcome by all when we
visit.

I made my own decision of coming to The Beeches as I was lonely and couldn't manage by myself and I'm sure I made the right choice as I am happy here with lots of nice company and know I will be looked after if the occasion arises.

Review from Michael G (Nephew of Resident) published on 6 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt and Uncle have received excellent care since they entered the home in July this year. All staff, without exception, have been so thoughtful, kind and professional. My uncle died on the 26th August. During the days up until his death, everyone was so kind and helpful to him, my Aunt and all relatives
who were sitting with him. My aunt so appreciated that, during the afternoon of the 26th, all staff who were leaving for the weekend came into to talk to and comfort her.


It is not an easy job and I must state that at no time have I ever seen any member of staff treating a resident with anything but patience, care and a touch of humour.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.341)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.341) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.880 for The Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.88
  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 4.461 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Beeches is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.761
  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.
