  • Beckfield House Residential Home, Lincoln
Beckfield House is a beautiful, late Victorian Arts and Crafts style former Gentleman’s Residence with an attractive modern annexe. It is set in pleasant gardens in the quiet village of Heighington, just 4 miles from the Cathedral city of Lincoln.

The home offers single, double, twin and shared rooms with the majority of the rooms on the ground floor and some on the first floor benefitting from ensuite facilities. The Home also offers a very spacious dining room with direct access to the patio and 2 sitting rooms. Many of the downstairs bedrooms also benefit from patio doors leading directly onto the sunny patio overlooking the secure garden. There is also a hairdressing salon, bathroom and a medication room on the ground floor.

Day care sessions are available for residents who wish to have the company of other residents but not necessarily in need of full time care. The home offers one free taster session for day care residents as well as offering pre-bookable respite breaks (availability permitting). Full laundry facilities are included in the cost of your accommodation and towels and flannels are provided by the home.

All meals are all homecooked by the Head Chef using fresh ingredients. They offer a varied menu for lunch and teatime with two hot options at lunch and a hot and buffet style teatime choice. They are also able to cater for a variety of special dietary and cultural needs. Drinks and snacks are always available throughout the day and night.

There is a hairdresser that visits the home weekly or you can continue to use your own hairdresser and benefit from the use of the salon. A Chiropodist also visits the home every 6 weeks together with an outside hearing clinic and opticians.

An extensive range of activities provided by Activity Co-ordinators and staff ensure an active and fulfilling lifestyle.

Review from Roy S (Friend of Resident) published on 14 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Large rooms and staff are very helpful and caring.
The downside is I think they are short-staffed as some of the help buzzers seem to be switched on for a long time without being answered.
Also, the patio at the rear is covered in bird droppings and looks neglected.
Reply from Jeffrey Deane, Director at Beckfield House Residential Home

We have nothing but good things to say about Beckfield Care Home, it’s staff and the care they provide for my mum. My mum is safe, happy and very well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.628)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.628) out of 10 for Beckfield House Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.628 for Beckfield House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.628
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beckfield House Residential Home is based on 18 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
