My Mum has been a resident of The Beeches Care Home since 2022 and both myself and my family are very happy with the care that Mum receives. The staff in the home are all very friendly and welcoming (from the management down to all other staff), and my Dad is treated like one of the family when he visits
Mum.


If there is ever a problem with Mum or her care needs change I am always notified very quickly about what has happened and the action that has been taken. Once a year I am asked to review Mum's care plans and these are always update to date in documenting the care that Mum needs.


Once, when my Dad was taken poorly whilst visiting Mum, they looked after both of my parents, ensuring that Mum was not distressed by what was happening and getting Dad the emergency medical care that he needed. During this time the staff treated my dad with care and dignity as they do with Mum all year round.

My Mum has been at the Beeches for 10 years, and is their longest serving resident. For all that time she has been well looked after, in a safe, caring environment, with excellent staff, food, and facilities. The staff are well trained, thoughtful, and caring. They always respond quickly to any issues
arising, and keep relatives informed. The building has undergone a process of continual improvement, and has a very homely feel to it. All food is home made on site, and is tailored to the age of residents, and individuals. Visits can be made at any time, and visitors are always made welcome. All the resident appear happy, and I am confident my Mum is happy living there too.

My mum was initially sent here for respite and the team could not be any more helpful and friendly than they are, nothing is too much trouble and I feel my mum is looked after very well. She is now a permanent resident and she feels like she is cared for in the best way possible. Thank you to all the
staff

The resident has been well supported during their time in the home. They have deteriorated since being there that's due to the illness progression. However other conditions they had when first went there have improved. That's down to the good food. Care. And environment.
Staff are very pleasant and
friendly and solve any issues that arise.
Have peace of mind

My mother was sent here for respite and she’s loved every minute.
The carers and management are wonderful and every day they would go and sit with Mum even just for a chat.
The food is all home cooked on the premises by a lovely lady and everyone enjoys the meals.
Mum's had her nails cut filed and
even painted, and they have a lovely lady that does their hair.
I must say we have been so happy with the excellent care that Mum has received
There’s even a lady that goes in and sings to everyone and plays a guitar.
Everyone that can gets up and dances, even the carers dance with everyone.
We just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the carers and management that have looked after my mum.
They will always be in our hearts as she was treated like family.

My friend was a resident for nearly 2 years. While at The Beeches, she received excellent care. The food was first class with plenty of choice. The care was from kind and caring staff. As next of kin, I was always kept informed of any problems or medication change and my views respected. In December
my friend became poorly and she was cared for with real care and dignity. My family and I where made welcome at any time to sit with her. Sadly she passed away on Christmas day. I know she was well cared for in her last hours and was not alone which is great comfort to us. I will miss the friendships I made there with the staff.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.868) out of 10 for The Beeches Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 4 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.660 for The Beeches Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.66

  • b) 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 4.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Beeches Care Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.375

    • ii) 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.833

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
