Beechville provides residential, dementia and short-stay care for up to 63 residents in a peaceful, purpose-designed home in Bolton, Greater Manchester.

Once a Quaker home, Beechville has a long legacy of care and community. Today, it offers a safe, comfortable setting with en-suite bedrooms, cosy lounges, and a vibrant central coffee shop where residents, families and staff come together throughout the day.

Outdoors, the landscaped gardens include a courtyard with mature trees, bird feeders, raised beds, and a summer house gifted by a resident’s family. The space is used year-round for gardening, relaxing, and events such as barbecues and seasonal celebrations.

Meals are freshly prepared by an experienced head chef who also trains other MHA cooks. Menus are shaped by resident input and include hearty favourites, afternoon teas, and fun events like Sandwich Week. Families can book the coffee bar for private gatherings.

Life at Beechville includes music therapy, baking competitions, bingo, crafts, fitness sessions, and special visits—from llamas and opera singers to schoolchildren and scout groups. Regular trips and a full calendar keep the home lively and inclusive.

At Beechville, care isn’t just about support, it’s about creating a community where residents thrive. Whether you’re searching for yourself or a loved one, for residential, dementia or short-stay care, the team at Beechville are here to help.

My Mother has been resident here for some while and I cannot praise the staff highly enough. The level of care, compassion and understanding along with the willingness to engage us as a family is superb. They really know my mum and are quick to recognise when she needs help and respond. The atmosphere
is friendly, fun, caring and they treat all with such dignity. Even through these difficult times, they continue to support us all. So thank you to all.

My aunt has been in Beechville approximately 6 months. She has been well cared for and made to feel very comfortable in very difficult times. She has had Coronavirus and they have nursed her through it. She has now proved negative to the virus through their dedication, skills and care.

Beechville is a wonderful home for my sister who has dementia. It has been purpose-built and the facilities are superb. The staff are all very professional, loving, and kind and have been absolutely amazing in these difficult lockdown times. As soon as we first entered the home we knew our sister would
be happy here. The management and staff are always happy and supportive. Well done.

Beechville closed to visitors due to Coronavirus. However, I am extremely satisfied with the care my Mum receives and the contact I have with the home.
Some of the questions below, therefore, must necessarily relate to pre-lockdown. Mum has lived there for over 2 years.

Our aunt was a resident at Beechville care home for 6 and a half years. She was always extremely well cared for and enjoyed living in the home. The staff are, without exception, wonderful. The activities coordinator is a human dynamo who ensures that all residents have entertainment and stimulating
activities. The home is very clean and the food is very good. My aunt recently passed away and the end of life care was lovely. She was looked after tenderly and with caring compassion.

I find the care my relative receives at Beechville to be of an excellent standard. The compassion shown to residents, in my opinion, is of a high standard. My relative is very happy despite initial reluctance.
Reply from Natalie Ward, Home Manager at Beechville

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Beechville. I will, of course, share this with my colleagues. It's always hard when people move into a care home and most don’t know what to expect and it can be a daunting and scary thought for many. I'm so pleased that your relative is happy in their new home and that as a family, you are happy with the standard of care. We will continue to strive to deliver the best care for all the residents in the home. Thank you again.

Beechville have exceeded our family's expectations. Staff give up their own time to take the residents on holiday. My aunt had her 100th birthday party and the home held a party that was brilliant. The family were welcomed, fed and entertained. The money for this was from fundraising. We really appreciated
their efforts.

Attended my great-aunties 100th birthday celebrations on the 22nd and 24th August.
The staff were fabulous, especially the lady who organised the party for family and residents on the Saturday.
All the staff were friendly and treated the residents with respect. Everyone I met seemed very happy there
and well cared for.

I attended my Aunt's 100th Birthday celebrations on Saturday, the foyer was decorated beautifully with balloons and flowers. Seats were reserved for relatives close to where my Auntie was sat in the place of honour. The food was delicious and plentiful. The entertainment!! well what can I say, Tom Jones,
you are a star!. Well done to the events manager and staff for making it a special occasion.

After visiting Beechville I knew mum would like it, a few weeks later we took her to visit and after 20mins she said yes.
After living away from Bolton (her quote it's like coming home) everything about the home is superb. The staff are kind, caring, cheery and so helpful. The activities with so much
hard work put into them are great.
As a family we are happy but most of all mum is very happy. Thank you.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My mother, who has Alzheimer's, was resident at Beechville from January to March 2019. This was her first move into a care home and we knew it was going to be a rough ride. We were initially impressed with Beechville and their claims to be skilled in dementia care and experienced in managing difficult
transitions. Unfortunately, my mother didn't settle and became physically aggressive towards staff. Beechville decided immediately that they couldn't meet her needs and tried to push her out. I accept that my mother presented challenges and needed another home but the manner in which Beechville's management handled the situation was appalling. I have made a formal complaint to the parent group the MHA, who have acknowledged their failings and I hope they will learn from this. Beechville is probably very good at looking after 'easy' residents but I question their categorisation as a dementia specialist home. If your relative is going to find a transition difficult, look elsewhere.
Reply from Natalie Ward, Area Support Manager at Beechville

Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review for Beechville. I'm so sorry that the experience you had of Beechville was less than positive. Beechville Care Home does pride itself on being a Dementia specialist home. I would like to add that all of us at Beechville hope that your mother has settled in to her new home and is happy and well.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.547)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.547) out of 10 for Beechville 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.595 for Beechville is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.595
  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 4.952 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beechville is based on 12 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.952
  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.
