Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Extremely happy with the care my wife is receiving. From day one she settled into such a friendly environment. All the staff are excellent, always welcoming, nothing is too much trouble.
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.

My mum was at Beech Grove for approximately 18 months. She passed away quietly and with dignity in April last year.
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend's mum has been living at Beech Grove for approx 3 years and has received the best of care. The staff are warm and friendly and the level of care they deliver is of a very high standard. They have managed Covid-19 exceptionally well and deserve recognition for their hard work, care and tenacity
in such difficult times.
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.

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

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!

Review from Jean D (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After a fall the time came when Mum could no longer look after herself, it was hard to think of Mum in a 'care home'.
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.

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.

My mother-in-law has been residing in Beech Grove for the last 12 months. We are extremely pleased with the care and treatment she is receiving. The staff are responsive to requests for updates and info which has been very reassuring during the Covid-19 lockdown.
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.

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.

The manager, admin staff and care team have been excellent with my mother over a period of two months respite care. Any issues raised have been professionally and immediately addressed in a resident focussed and family-inclusive manner. The natural friendliness and unflustered approach of the caring
team have really helped our mother, nothing has been too much trouble, and they made visiting a pleasure. We will always be grateful to the whole team for going the extra mile to help.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father stayed at Beech Grove for a few weeks after falling at home. After looking around a few homes this one for us was easily the best.
The home has an extremely happy and homely atmosphere and always smells clean and fresh.
The management and staff are so friendly and helpful that we had absolutely
no doubt at all that dad was being well cared for.
He's not the easiest man to please having lived on his own for almost 30 years and he had no complaints.
The outside space is great and with such glorious weather, a huge plus as dad enjoyed sitting here or by the conservatory door watching the birds and sometimes chatting to other residents which is something that we hadn't expected him to do.
He enjoyed the food very much too.
I would recommend Beech Grove in a heartbeat.
Thank you

Since my mother has been cared for in this care home, I have known such peace of mind. The staff are marvellous, going the extra mile to ensure all residents are happy, comfortable and safe. Being treated with dignity and respect, a real "family" feeling. All residents seem settled here, I tell family

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.407)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.407) out of 10 for Beech Grove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.407 for Beech Grove is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.407
  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 Beech Grove is based on 15 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
