Beechwood is a thriving care home full of activity, which has a warm, family feel the moment you walk through the door.
Not only do the team provide residential and dementia care, they also offer pre-bookable respite care breaks. These are ideal for carers who might need a short break themselves, with the peace of mind of knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

Beechwood is a thriving care home full of activity, which has a warm, family feel the moment you walk through the door.
Not only do the team provide residential and dementia care, they also offer pre-bookable respite care breaks. These are ideal for carers who might need a short break themselves, with the peace of mind of knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
The enormous gardens are the perfect spot for residents to enjoy growing their own fruit, vegetables and herbs, which is then used in the kitchen, where the chef creates delicious home-cooked meals.
During the summer, the team supported residents to create their own personalised garden plots and window boxes, where they have grown everything from flowers and beetroot to tomatoes. And the gardens are perfect for when ponies from the local riding stables pop in.
The team are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents and supporting them to have a very active role in how their home is run. Beechwood’s resident ambassadors provide feedback at residents’ and relatives’ meetings and welcome potential residents, spending time answering any questions they or their loved ones might have.
The local community is embraced into life at Beechwood. Local nursery children, community volunteers, a singing group, Gina’s exercise class and Malvern Community Library are all regulars. Animal visits are also popular, with everything from therapy dogs to reptiles!
Every Friday people from the Upton community join the residents for coffee and cake (11am- 2pm).
A hairdresser visits for weekly appointments in the home’s salon, and there is a large lounge, as well as smaller lounge areas and a conservatory to spend time with family and friends, who are welcome at any time. And families can also see what the residents have been enjoying doing on the home’s private Facebook page.

I am so pleased to have found Beechwood Residential Care Home for my mum who has sense memory loss and poor vision amongst other ailments. She initially went for a respite stay but has now decided to become a permanent resident. Every member of staff that I have met and I cannot praise them enough. The home itself is light, bright, airy and very clean. The meals are lovely full marks to the brilliant catering staff. Mum's room is not overly big but is clean and tidy and overlooks the garden. The only downside is that the rooms do not have en-suite toilets.
Thank you for your kind words. It is wonderful to hear how pleased you are with our home and the team! Many Thanks.
Loving care is at the heart of Beechwood.
It isn't posh and rooms are not ensuite but it is the care and respect that matters.

I have now got to know most of the staff, who I find to be very caring and helpful. It has been difficult initially for mum to cope but the home is getting used to her and we have had frequent contact to settle her.
The doctors' surgery for Beechwood provided excellent support and communication with us. They are very welcoming of guests and I feel comfortable visiting any time. The garden is safe and wonderful and a wildlife haven. I like to sit in the garden with her. The four small units are interlinked and residents can wander freely between. Had Sunday lunch in the Conservatory and food and catering staff are lovely. The tall chef is constantly walking between the Units to talk with staff or residents. Staff welcome you with a smile on their faces.
Thank you for your thorough review, and kind words. Your feedback is truly invaluable to our team, and to our potential residents and their families so thank you. I will be sure to pass this onto Mancy and the team. Best wishes.
Small and very friendly home. All on the ground floor with easy access to the gardens for residents. The staff are very caring and do all they can to make Beechwood a happy place to live. The food is excellent, with residents getting a choice to meet their preferences.

Dear Nick, thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to review our home. I will be sure to pass this onto the manager and the team. Best wishes, Fae.
My mother has improved drastically since arriving at Beechwood. The carers are absolutely lovely and make her feel at home and totally loved. A big thank you to them all.

- Rooms need to be improved. Bigger and ensuite.
- More encouragement required from carers to residents,
- Although activities are present, haven't actually seen any taking place.
- Should be two staff on each unit - not one.

The regional manager said: “Thank you for your review and positive comments about our manager and senior staff. I am sorry you feel this way about some of the other aspects of the home. We always have the correct number of staff on duty to care for our residents and have successfully recruited some fantastic new permanent staff to our team who are settling in really well. We are often complimented on the wide range of activities that our activities team provides, some of which are more personalised one-to-one sessions in people’s bedrooms, which might be why they are not always visible. We rotate staff around the home to ensure they have the best knowledge of our residents and their needs, but in our dementia unit, we keep the same staff to give that extra sense of reassurance and continuity. If you would like to discuss any concerns with me in person, I would be more than happy to speak to you.”

Sadly my mother died on 1st July, but she lived at Beechwood for 2.5 years. During that time she was generously loved and cared for and fully accepted for who she was. We chose Beechwood not for its elegance or luxury (though it is very adequately comfortable), but for the quality of care. We were not disappointed. She was unable to take part in many of the activities but the programme was very good. Though there were a few management changes and a bit of staff turnover, the care still shone through.
Everyone tries very hard to give satisfaction.

The family has been more than satisfied from the very beginning, including preliminary visits.
The Alzheimer unit staff have such a good understanding of the care needs and their kindness and consideration is impressive.
The whole ethos of the home appears to be geared towards ensuring the residents are comfortable and content and all levels of staff join in to contribute to a caring and friendly atmosphere.
The review was very good. The home is friendly and the staff are excellent. Food is good and I have enjoyed being here.

The option of a conservatory is good and a number of small sheltered gardens is very attractive and user-friendly. Staff work hard to support residents and assisting at functions such as summer fete.

I can't praise Beechwood highly enough. It's clean, cosy with a beautiful, airy conservatory that looks out over a long garden complete with raised beds and summer house. Staff are completely engaged with residents and treat all with respect and genuine empathy. Management is spot on. Food is excellent and relatives are encouraged to pop in and share Wednesday/Sunday lunch. My mum has been there 6 weeks and is very happy there.
Very pleasant environment, friendly and safe. Good level of care, staff are very busy and manage any issues that appear.

My wife is a resident in Beechwood, my daughter is a very experienced nursing officer and they hold very similar views to mine. The managers of this house are to be congratulated on their recruitment of staff. Staff who are everything you hope for in people caring for your loved ones. My vocabulary will not allow me to describe my observations adequately in a way that will do justice to the grand people that now care for my wife, based on and built on the foundation of kindliness.
The food is wonderful. I see the chef often. I enjoy a glass of wine with my lunch from time to time. My laundry is done for me as is my bedroom. It's all very nice here. I love my carers.

Overall, I am happy with the level of care that my mother receives. The 'floor' has very caring staff and do their jobs to the best of their ability but, sadly, they are often very understaffed at Beechwood Residential Care Home all year round. Staff are not given any incentive to stay by the management at Beechwood Residential Care Home. The manager, in my opinion, does not support the staff in any way.

I’d like to reassure you that we always have the right number of staff on shift to care for our residents and whilst I was sad to read your views on the support my staff receive, I will, of course, ensure they all continue to feel supported and part of an extremely valued team here at Beechwood."
My grandmother is happy. Probably need some more activities.

Until recently I worked at Beechwood Residential Care Home myself (and remain friends with the residents who live there) and can wholeheartedly say what a lovely care home this is. The care staff are wonderful, genuinely kind, caring and understanding. I've found the home to be clean and full of laughter. The food is very good, always fresh and plenty of it. I'd absolutely recommend this home to my friends and family.
