My father has only been a resident for a couple of weeks but the staff have been extremely kind, efficient and caring during this stressful time.
Thank you for your review. Our staff will be pleased to hear your feedback.
My mother has been a resident at Beech Grove for almost two years and has settled in completely. The staff are hard-working, caring and friendly. My mother is content, safe and could not be in better hands. I am more than happy to recommend Beech Grove to anyone who would need its services.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We will pass on your review to the team.
Very caring and friendly home. It is well managed and staff are helpful under approachable. Would recommend Beech Grove without hesitation.
Thank you for your lovely comments, I am pleased you find Beech Grove a caring and friendly.
All the staff at Beech Grove are very helpful. The care they have shown my mother over the last two years has been excellent. If a problem arises at any time it is quickly attended to by the relevant team/staff. Family members are kept up to date with everything that's happening.
Thank you for your lovely comments. I am so pleased you are happy with the care provided at Beech Grove.
When I visit my uncle I always find him happy and contented. The staff are always kind and he is obviously very fond of them. He enjoys the food and it's good to see that he has put weight on and looks really well. He tells me how much he enjoys being in the home and considering I don't live locally I am given peace of mind.
Thank you for your feedback, it is lovely to hear that your uncle is settled at Beech Grove.
Kind, friendly, warm staff who are caring and have my mum's wellbeing at the heart of the provision. Range of trips, activities and worthwhile visits available throughout. Family environment with bespoke wrap-around care.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I will pass your comments to the team.
While she's been a resident my wife's been on numerous trips out to the local cinema, local market place, out for lunch, and church. This has helped to keep her active.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I am so glad your wife has settled at Beech Grove.
Our experience started during Covid restrictions and the staff was fantastic. They kept us well-informed and helped us with long-distance video calls and window visits.
We were always made to feel very welcome and they treated my sisters and me with great kindness and thoughtfulness and lots of tea! Thank you.
Thank you for your comments, they were lovely to read. I will pass your feedback to the team at Beech Grove, they will be so pleased.
My mum was always treated with love and respect, I always felt I was going to my mum's home, not a care home. Laughter can always be heard, not laughing at people but with people. I felt Mum was living with an extended family. Mum passed away on 25/1/23, and the treatment she received in her final days was nothing short of wonderful. The treatment we, the family, received was far beyond what money can buy. All the staff at Beech Grove are nothing short of fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the care Mum received at Beech Grove. Your words are lovely to read. I will pass your feedback on to the staff.
I visited on Thursday 22nd July 2021 and was so pleased to see how well my friend's mum is being cared for; something she herself commented on. Thanks to everyone there for the care and attention you provide for this lovely lady and for all your Residents.
Thank you for your positive review and kind comments - we will share your review with the staff team, it will mean so much to them.
Mum receives excellent care at Beech Grove. The staff have worked tirelessly throughout the Covid pandemic to deliver a high-quality service to all their residents despite all the arising issues and difficulties. The staff team have offered us great reassurance and support during such a challenging time, and as a family, we are extremely appreciative of all they do for Mum and indeed all their residents
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It is very much appreciated.
Mum has been a resident at Beech Grove for a few years now. Her care has been excellent throughout this time, especially during the last 14 months and the Covid pandemic. There has always been a friendly voice every time I phone, with calm consistency and organisation about dealing with the crisis. The staff have been amazing and my family and I are very relieved that mum has been at Beech Grove during this time. Thank you all of you!
Thank you for your kind review, it is very much appreciated - we will pass your feedback to the staff team.
We chose Beech Grove as friends said it was a happy home and she was accepted. The staff are really friendly and helpful and it always seems to be a happy and caring home.
When I ring, Mum is either playing bingo, doing a quiz, joining in the singing or just quietly relaxing. She enjoys her food and always looks and smells nice, the staff even match her clothes!
It’s been very hard during the COVID outbreak for all concerned. I would like to congratulate the staff on how well they have dealt with it and our family when we have visited.
Thank you for your kind words. I will share them with the Home Manager and her team.
Mum seems very happy at Beech Grove. All staff we have met so far seem very caring and helpful. As a family, we are very thankful that Mum is safe and is getting the care she needs. I can't answer some of the ratings as we haven't yet been able to visit inside Beech Grove due to covid rules - Mum moved in during lockdown.
Thank you for your very kind and positive review. We are pleased that your Mum has settled into Beech Grove - we will ensure your comments are shared with the team
The staff are always pleasant and attentive. Actively try to boost my mother's morale. Staff very helpful with hospital visits during the Covid-19 lockdown. Good Covid-19 measures in place and no cases within the home.
Thank you, the staff will be delighted to see such kind words.
The staff are friendly and caring.
Thank you for your positive review, we will share this with the team.
Beech Grove care home has been ideal for our mum. She can be a difficult person and the staff are fantastic with her. We certainly have no complaints.
Thank you for your positive review, we will share your kind comments with the team.
The only observation is discussion re-care plans we would like to review with the team at some point, I understand Covid-19 has stopped contact with families that would ordinarily have been done face to face.
Thank you for your really positive review, we will share your comments with the team. We take on board your comments re-reviewing the care plans; we will be more than happy to facilitate this once the current restrictions allow.
Mum has been very happy for the four years of living at Beech Grove. The staff are very caring and compassionate and looked after her exceptionally well.
Thank you for your positive review; we will ensure your kind words are shared with the staff team.
My mum has been in Beech Grove for almost eighteen months. The staff are always very kind and helpful to her. She is always encouraged to join in any activities. We as a family are always made welcome when visiting, even if we can only talk to mum at a distance at the back door. We are also kept well informed of how mum is doing in general.
Thank you for your very positive review; we will ensure your kind words are shared with the staff team.

Meet the Team (6)

I have always had a passion for supporting people and trying to make a difference to people’s lives.
I am interested in Psychology and understanding human behaviours, completing a Bsc and Msc in Psychology and Psychotherapy.
I love spending time with my beautiful Mother and dog, enjoying any free time I have with them. I love gardening, the summer months, having laughs with friends and learning new things.

I first started working at Beech Grove in 2006. I had some time off when I started my family and I returned in 2012. I enjoy walking and going for meals out. I enjoy music and spending time with my two sons and partner. My favourite destination to visit and go on holiday is Greece.

I have been working at Beech Grove as Head Domestic for the last 15 years. I enjoy my job; even though it can be hard work I find it very rewarding. I love having my little chats with the residents and getting to know them and who they are as a person. I would say I am a quite shy person, until you know me, then I am a chatter box. I am friendly, honest, trustworthy and a hardworking person. I enjoy being there for people and offering support when they need help.

I have been working as Head Cook at Beech Grove for the last 9 years. I enjoy my job and coming to Beech Grove to support our residents. I enjoy meeting new residents and families when they come to Beech Grove.
In my spare time I like walking and enjoy looking after our foster dogs. I love a duvet day and getting lucky on the Bingo!

I completed my NVQ level 2 and also completed a Music therapy course to support me in my role. I enjoy spending time with my family and grandchildren. I enjoy cooking at home, going to bingo and going abroad on holiday.

I have been married to my husband Alan for 44 years. We have two children who are both married and one grandchild, with another one on the way! Our son lives in Preston and has a daughter. Our daughter lives in Haarlem in the Netherlands and is expecting our second grandchild in July.
I like to relax by doing DIY around the house, walking and gardening. We enjoy spending time with our family and eating out!
