Beech Grove Reviews (58)
Beech Grove has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.445) out of 10, based on 17 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Beech Grove has 58 reviews.
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.
Thank you for your positive review and kind words, we will share your review with the team.
I visit my friend and have done for a few years. She is very happy at Beech Grove, she loves the staff and has made some good friends at Beech Grove.
They can't do enough for you.
The care home is so clean and tidy and residents are really happy and well cared for. Everyone and everything is run so smoothly. I would recommend it to anyone. My brother is really happy here.
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
My mum is very happy in Beech Grove. All the staff are very attentive with her and will go the extra mile to attend to her needs.
She has settled far better than I expected due to the help of everyone that works there, which is a great weight off my mind.
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 and friends about "Beech Grove" can't praise the staff enough, thank you all so much.
Lovely, friendly, caring home, the staff look after my mum in law wonderfully. They give her the time, love and affection. A very good caring home. Five-star rating.
Beech Grove is a friendly, welcoming care. I am particularly impressed with the staff who enjoy their jobs and interact effectively with my father, who is clearly settled and content living there.
As it turned out I don't think we could have chosen better. The care he receives is exemplary. After various infections, no time is lost in getting him the necessary help he needs.
Great patience is required in dealing with residents with dementia and the staff always have this. Any concerns are dealt with quickly and resolved as soon as possible.
Beech Grove is spotless. There is no smell or urine ever. The staff are mostly diligent.
I am impressed by the manager and two other members of staff.
Few complaints.
The staff gave that extra care which showed that they genuinely wanted to make a difference. There was always lots of laughter and a relaxed atmosphere that made the place homely.
I would recommend Beech Grove to anyone.
Fantastic care home - over the moon with the care my dad is receiving. The most important thing is that my dad is happy and well cared for. This is an excellent feature of Beech Grove. The staff go 'over and above' to ensure my dad is always laughing and joking and they have clearly been well trained to deal with Alzheimer's. Can't praise them enough.
My mother-in-law moved into Beech Grove care home nearly three weeks ago and settled in quickly. We were able to personalise her room which now looks warm, comfortable and familiar. The staff were very welcoming and caring and quickly understood her needs. She is treated with kindness and respect and is encouraged to be as independent as possible. The staff respond quickly if she uses her call button and my mother-in-law feels safe and well cared for. She has enjoyed having her hair and nails done, good meals and being amongst people. We are very pleased to have found such a friendly place for her.
The management and staff couldn't have been more helpful at such a difficult time for all of us.
I don't know what we would have done without them. Their excellent care continues.
Dad spent the last 3 years of his life at Beech Grove and passed away aged 98 on 22nd June 2015. During his time there he was happy and settled but didn't mix with the other residents which was his own choice. The staff, all of them from the manager to the cleaners and kitchen staff treated him with the utmost respect and always had time to share with him anything he wanted to share with them. Beech Grove is a happy place with a homely atmosphere, the care from all is excellent. The food is very good and I would recommend Beech Grove to anyone who is thinking of either short of long term care.
My father went into Beech Grove in March 2012. He was 95, needed help with a catheter and leg dressings for ulcers, could still walk about with the help of a stick and had no dementia. He didn't want to go into a care home but accepted that it was necessary. Much to everyone's surprise he enjoyed it! The staff treated him really well, he was allowed a lot of privacy. His room was warn, cosy, homely and he was allowed to personalise it with his own belongings, which made a difference. Beech Grove has a warm, cheerful atmosphere.
From the moment mum went into the home the staff couldn't have been better. She felt at home straight away and enjoyed staying there. She was always well looked after by all the staff, always kept very clean and tidy, clothes were washed daily. The staff also made me feel at home whenever I went, usually weekly, they were very welcoming at the end of mums life (she died there). They were wonderful nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, management, to cleaner they all loved her and we were with her when she died which was hard but we felt at home. We never had any problems and would recommend the home.
My mother was a resident for just over 2 years at Beech Grove, and during that time she received the best care and attention that anyone could have wished for in this homely caring environment. During her final weeks of live, she received care and attention from compassionate, loving and caring staff, who were just as upset as her family on her passing. We cannot praise the staff and management enough.

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!
