Beechwood Residential Care Home

Beechwood is a lovely care home made special by the caring professional staff & knowing we have made the right choice for mum.

Staff are always, friendly, happy to help and a relaxed atmosphere.

Both my mother and father lived at Beechwood at separate times, mum was there for 7 years and dad for 5 years. We, as a family, cannot praise Beechwood Care Home enough, the care and respect given to mum and dad during their time there was excellent. The staff across the home, from the cleaning staff right up to management, are all brilliant and make Beechwood the wonderful, caring home that it is. We will never be able to find enough words to thank them.

The care was outstanding. The food wonderful and the homely atmosphere a joy. After 12 days my dad was walking with his frame to go for coffee and for lunch where at home he was unable to walk. Fabulous care and attention from all staff.

Although Mother wanted to return to her own home she was sad to leave as she had felt 'at home' at Beechwood and said she would miss the lovely staff.

Just can not do enough for you

My husband attends Beechwood as a Day Care User once a week. I was a bit anxious as to how he would react to this but it is working out much better than I could have expected. My husband asks each day if he is going. He clearly enjoys himself. From the moment we enter the doors we are greeted and my husband is immediately engaged in conversation about what he is having for lunch which distracts him from worrying about leaving me. He goes off happily which sets my mind at rest. When I collect him he is always quite content and the staff give me a brief outline of what he has been doing. There seems to be a variety of activities on offer and he especially welcomes the chance to chat with other people. I am so confident the my husband will be well looked after that we have booked some respite care for him later this year.

Furthermore I was kept fully informed on any issues or change in her medication. The staff are very dedicated and always available.

Mum received excellent care during the 16 months she spent at Beechwood. From the transition period from home to the care home through to the sad passing of Mum, the staff couldn't have been more supporting, providing the care, love and dignity we all would wish for.

He received outstanding, hollistic care and his complex dementia needs were consistently met. He was always treated with dignity and kindness. Communication with me was excellent and as POA for health and welfare, I always felt fully included in any decision about my father's care plan. The environment is spacious, light and stimulating and the staff kind and friendly. I couldn't have asked for more for my father.

Treatment of mum are the but 3 years has been outstanding. Her last few days she was treated with dignity and empathy. Many thanks to all staff + management.

My mother and stepfather have been visiting The Beechwood as guests for a few years now and chose it for when the time came for themselves to need additional support. My stepfather spent three weeks there as a respite resident whilst he recovered from a hip replacement surgery and always spoke - and continues to speak - exceedingly highly of the staff, their work ethic, their compassion and kindness, and the support he received. He also loved the food! My mother is now at The Beechwood as a full-time, permanent resident as she has Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. It was extremely hard letting our mum go and putting her in as a resident, but the manager went out of her way to reassure both us and her; and I know now having tried to care for her myself at home, that this type of care requires a team of professional, highly dedicated, kind people. This team is at the Beechwood.

Sadly, I've had reason to visit a lot of different care homes over the last few years and Beechwood Residential Care Home is the best by a long way.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the care, cleanliness and professional and friendly staff at Beechwood and am happy we chose the place for Mum.

Nothing is too much trouble for the delightful staff who work here and they will always make time to talk or help in whatever way they can. They really care. The residence is very clean and in beautiful surroundings. I am looking forward to staying here for a long time yet.

I like the way that the building is on one level with beautiful gardens to look at through the windows. In the summer, the French doors to each unit are open with a gentle, fresh breeze blowing through. Each unit is a little family. There is never enough time and twice as many carers would be perfect but not in the real world. Everyone is caring and treats the residents with dignity. Mealtimes are important and a good social time.

The lovely staff at Beechwood Residential Care Home supported my husband with the transition into residential care and he has settled well. He likes everyone there and they work hard to make it a real home and are so welcoming to visitors.

My uncle has been a resident for many years and has always received the best of care. The staff are respectful of his needs and are always happy to discuss any worries I may have. I live a distance away and I am notified quickly and caringly of any worries the staff have between my visits.

I've booked my room, can't wait.

Mum is well looked after at Beechwood Residential Care Home. All staff members know her by name and treat her with the utmost kindness and respect. She's evidently happy and at home here. Her personal care is attended to with an understanding of her needs but also an understanding of her wishes, which are not always aligned!
