Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum moved into Beechfield Lodge Care Home in September this year, just a couple of weeks after losing our dad and her beloved husband of sixty-eight years. They had been together in another care home since April of this year. Sadly Dad had a fall and had to be hospitalised where he, unfortunately,
passed away some five weeks later. I won't name the previous care home as there is absolutely nothing good to say about it hence the reason for moving our mum once Dad passed away. We have nothing but good things to say about Beechfield, care being the operative word because that is exactly what Mum gets. The staff are genuine and you can see they love what they do, nothing is too much trouble and Mum has become part of the Beechfield family. She has a lovely room with an en-suite and her own little kitchenette which gives her some independence. Visiting is a pleasure now and we can leave her with complete confidence knowing she is getting the best care there is, she is so content and this means the world to us.

My mum became a resident at Beechfield Lodge in September, newly bereaved after losing my dad after 68 years of marriage, they were together in another care home from April, an experience we would not wish on anyone hence the reason for moving Mum.
I have to say, from the day she moved in we have nothing
but praise for the care she has received. Her room is so homely, the whole team are so genuine with the care they deliver and are warm and friendly and very approachable. The home is spotless, the standards of cleanliness are high, and all areas are fresh smelling. There are monthly check ins with family and any issues or concerns are dealt with promptly and respectfully. As a family we are so relieved Mum has settled in and now feels she has a new family, as that's how all the staff see the residents (Beechfield family) and because of this we get such pleasure and reassurance when we visit and come away knowing she is in good hands. This means everything to us.

My mum was a resident at Beechfield Lodge for over 8 years. The care, attention and respect that my mum received was outstanding during her time there. The staff are utterly outstanding, so caring and go over and above.
Rooms are kept to a very high standard, security is brilliant, and it's just an
overall outstanding place to live. The manager and her team are outstanding.
We entrusted them with our crown jewel, our mum, and they never ever let us down. Mum very sadly passed away over the weekend and yet again they excelled in their respect for our family.

From our first visit to Beechfield Lodge, I was so impressed with the building, the staff, the facilities and the room of my father-in-law. We were so sorry that we had to move to a nursing home, but when our time comes I hope that we can get a place at Beechfield Lodge.

My mother was a resident in Beechfield Lodge for 15 months. In July 2022, her dementia took a massive decline. The staff at the home have always been extremely caring and understanding of her condition, even through the trials that Covid brought. During her last days, we were staying day and night.
The staff were amazing, providing drinks, food and lots of support. Nothing was too much trouble. Even finding a priest to give last rites is an almost impossible task.

Reception and support staff are friendly and helpful. It's nice that staff remember the families' names, as where Mum was before, we were never spoken to. Mum has everything she needs, and the staff are very kind to her.

Mum came into Beechfield Lodge from rehab where she had had a very difficult time through the pandemic and had deteriorated considerably. After a few weeks at Beechfield, she had settled and was beginning to improve - her mobility and wellbeing improved, and even her memory - despite having dementia.
I believe that this is down to the care and attention she has received from the lovely staff at Beechfield and the smooth running of the home.

Accommodation roomy and homely. Good care provides all needs. Personal care, cleaning all meals which mum has a choice of. The staff encourage mum to make her own choices. The staff always welcome us and answer all questions asked. A member of staff is always pleasant and chatty along with other colleagues.

The care and dedication of the staff at Beechfield Lodge is exceptional. I would like to put on record a special mention of a care assistant who goes above and beyond her contractual duties to help in any way she can. My mum was 90 in October and the staff arranged a lovely afternoon tea event for mum,
my sister and I to enjoy under restricted conditions. A huge thank you to the housekeeper and her kitchen staff for making this possible. I couldn't ask for any better care or attention.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I am unlikely to recommend Beechfield Lodge to anyone whose relative has similar needs to my mum. For the first three years that mum was resident at Beechfield, we were happy with the level of care mum received; with most of the staff (some of which were extremely caring) and with the physical environment
which was clean, light, and airy. Prior to Covid, the activities were good - although mum wasn’t always included in these. The problem for us was once mum's needs increased and she needed more care. Beechfield Lodge didn’t respond to this - resulting in neglect: significant weight loss, unwitnessed falls, and injuries, and mum spending most of her time alone in her room. These factors all contributed towards mum becoming depressed and accelerated her dementia. After many conversations with management, they eventually suggested mum’s needs would be better met in a nursing home. It saddens me that this wasn’t suggested six months earlier when they first realised they were struggling.

Some staff are amazing with Mum. Very good and attentive to Mum's needs and communicating with the family. There is the odd one member of staff that do not seem to know Mum or how to speak to her. I appreciate this is human nature and will always get some people who are naturally caring. Overall very
good and they have worked so hard throughout the pandemic.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for Beechfield Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.483 for Beechfield Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (145 Goods x 4) + (40 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (13 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 553 Ratings = 4.483
  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 Beechfield Lodge is based on 43 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 43 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.
