Elton Park Care Home

My Dad came to Beech Lawn on New Year's Eve after the death of Mum. His care has been outstanding. Everyone is so kind and compassionate. As a family, we are very grateful.

Dad always seems to be happy. Today I came in to find him playing bingo. It was lovely to see. I have never known my Dad to ever play bingo.

Staff are excellent and take good care of my wife, who has settled in well. This is the second time here so she is familiar with the layout. It only takes me 10 minutes to get here from home so good location for me, with all the latest equipment for helping to lift if necessary.

My friend has been looked after since coming to Beech Lawn by staff who have been polite, caring and kind. Her general health has improved greatly, also her wellbeing has seen a vast improvement. All staff are friendly to us as visitors too.

Beech Lawn is short of staff, not all of the staff who are there work as hard as they should. On one occasion the resident was not given any dinner. Another time the dinner was cold and another day dessert was not given. As a result of this, the family have arranged to be there every dinner time to ensure the resident receives a full hot meal.

We are pleased with all the help and care and attention that our dad has received.

My 93-year-old mother had been a resident of Beech Lawn for 2 1/2 years until she recently passed away. During that time the care provided was very good. The carers and domestics showed compassion and patience and were always prepared to engage in conversation and listen to her. We had been impressed with the home so much so, that my 93-year-old father has now taken up residence. He has told us he loves the attention the staff give him, he enjoys the food and that he feels safe there.

After a guided viewing of residential homes, I have felt for many months that I truly and thankfully, made the right decision accepting Beech Lawn above other offers. My father, like other residents, did not settle in immediately, but the manager and staff at Beech Lawn have done an amazing job to get him feeling settled and cared for! The manager and staff continually do fantastic daily duties to care for all residents of Beech Lawn. I would definitely recommend Beech Lawn to other people in need of an extremely good care home with excellent management and staff. Thank you all at Beech Lawn.

Since my brother has been in this home, he has always been treated with care and consideration. The staff although it changes are happy to talk to me about him. If I have concerns or if I need help (I am my brother's deputy) the staff and management are always helpful and professional.

With dementia, he is in his own world, but I am sure he is happy and thankful to be at Beech Lawn.

They keep us informed if there are any issues. Really homely.

A well run warm and welcoming home - the staff are friendly and helpful. The room my aunt is in is light, airy and warm, with staff popping in very regular intervals to check on her well-being. The meals are varied and well presented.

We, the family have only good things to say about them.

As a person who lives away from Ipswich when I come to visit my nan, the care that is provided for her is more than I could ever ask for. She is very happy, the staff are welcoming and the daily activities they provide for the residents is fantastic! I always leave feeling reassured that she is cared for and couldn't wish for anything more.

Overall I could not be happier with the standard of care.

Clean and tidy.

My mother-in-law has been in Beech Lawn since January 2017. At the time of her arrival, she was very anxious and extremely angry. The staff were all so caring and immediately put our mind at rest that she would be safe. In the following weeks, she had calmed down and was really settled. Activities are provided and the residents are encouraged to take part. We are very welcome to visit whenever we like. The staff are always happy and very approachable, they have total respect and consideration for their residents and families. We are so impressed with Beech Lawn and would recommend.

My partner has been at the home for 6 and a half years and this is my and her second assessment.

4) She feels safer here and is more relaxed to cope with her mental and physical problems.

Overall staff and care is very good. The food is varied and plentiful and nutritious. Rooms are mainly on the small side. Two very good lounges a conservatory. I could do with more activities.

Dad went to Beech Lawn for respite and stayed longer than first arranged. Very clean home. Friendly, attentive, helpful, informative staff and management. "Old fashioned" home but perfect for older residents- dad is 93! The only "niggle" I would have is that I was informed at the last minute of repeat prescriptions that were needed. Dad's first visit to a care home and had no qualms at all.
