My Nan has been a resident at Beechcroft since March 2025. The home is spotless and welcoming.
In that time she has been looked after by some amazing staff, including Lyndsey and Addy who go above and beyond.
My Nan is bed bound but the residents have constant entertainment and there is always something
going on around the home. It really is lovely!!!!
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeThank you so much for the lovely feedback! Were so glad to hear your Nan is being well looked after.

I'll make sure to give a special shout-out to Lyndsey and Addytheyll be absolutely thrilled to know theyve made such a difference. We love having your Nan with us and it's great to know you feel she's in safe, happy hands.

The care home ensure my parent is in the lounge for most of the day and not in her bedroom which is good for companionship etc.
Staff inform me of any falls occurring in a timely manner & detail treatment/or if an ambulance has been called.
They have regular update meetings advising of events, or
what they have going on in the home & it is an opportunity to chat about any issues which may arise. There is also a suggestion box.
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback about the care your parent is receiving. We genuinely appreciate hearing from you. It's wonderful to know that your parent is benefiting from being in the communal lounge. Ensuring our residents have opportunities for companionship and social interaction is a high priority for us, and we are pleased this is making a positive difference.
Your kind words about the overall experience, especially highlighting the staff, care, and safety, mean a great deal to the whole team.
Thank you again for your review and for trusting us with your parents care.

My mum had the misfortune to Break her Glasses whist in the Home. The Home have since ordered a replacement pair at No Cost to Mum. This is very good because in most Homes or Workplaces they would say 'Tough get your own and pay for it yourself.'
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeThank you for your feedback, Steven.
We replaced your mums glasses at no cost because you expect practical support and we acted quickly to give it. You highlighted that many places ask families to sort things out themselves. We prefer to remove stress and resolve issues on the spot.
We aim to give consistent care. You saw this when staff identified the breakage, reported it, and arranged a replacement pair without delay.
Thank you for taking the time to send your comments. Your feedback helps us improve the service you receive.

On the whole very good. Wether their is enough staff it is hard to say. Sometimes it takes a while for carers to come and attend to needs I appreciate there are many other patients to care for, but especially with continence issues, it helps maintain patient dignity. Staff are very caring and patient.
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeDear S C
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very pleased to hear that you find our staff caring and patient, and that your overall experience has been very good. Your comments mean a great deal to the team.
We also appreciate your honest observations regarding response times, particularly in relation to continence care. Maintaining residents' dignity is a priority for us, and we are sorry for any occasions where you felt this may have been compromised. We continuously review our staffing levels and workflows to ensure we are meeting residents' needs as promptly as possible, and your feedback will be shared with the senior team as part of that ongoing improvement process.
Please be assured that we are committed to providing safe, respectful, and person-centred care. If you ever wish to discuss your concerns in more detail or share further suggestions, we would be very happy to speak with you directly.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review .

Mum was brought to Beechcroft as a temporary resident initially, for respite for the family. As time went by my family realised that it was the best place for her.
She is safe and well cared for.
The manager and staff go to extreme lengths to meet her needs. Her room is like a home from home. There
is nothing denied to her.
Beechcroft care home has everything you could possibly need/want.
The meals are excellent and plenty of choice.
I would recommend this care home to anyone who is worried about their loved one settling down.
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeThank you so much for your heartfelt review. We are truly grateful that you took the time to share your experience. We are especially pleased that her transition from respite to longer-term care felt right for your family. Creating a "home from home" and offering choice, comfort, and compassionate support are at the heart of what we do.
Thank you again for your kind recommendation. Please know that we are always here for your mum and for your family.

My dad was a resident at Beechcroft Care Home from September 2024 until he sadly passed away on the 18th of September 2025 in hospital.
The professional approach of all the care team members and management was second to none for the entire time that my dad was a resident in there care.
The communication
I received throughout the entire time my dad was in there care was nothing short of exceptional.
Nothing was too much trouble for any member of the care team or management.
They were always very professional, friendly, polite and are extremely hard working individuals.
Dad was always treated with respect, compassion & kindness throughout his time at this lovely care home.
I can not thank these very hard working people enough for making the last year of my dads life as comfortable as possible.
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Beechcroft, especially during such a difficult time. We're truly sorry for the loss of your father, and please accept our heartfelt condolences.It means a lot to all of us from the care staff to management to hear that your dad was treated with respect, compassion, and kindness during his time with us. Your kind words are a wonderful reminder of the dedication we aim to provide every day. Thank you again for trusting us to care for your dad.

My Mother in Law was in the care home for 13 months. Due to a change in her circumstances she had to be moved. Nothing at all to do with Beechcroft.
The care she has received during her 13 months was exemplary. The staff were wonderful and attentive. We visited at different times during the day and
nothing was ever too much trouble.
The food served was excellent and cooked fresh daily. Help feeding if required was always given.

Our mum was placed in Beechcroft from June 2024 until July 2025. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control she was moved to another location.

My mum is happily settled in Beecroft. She has had a few health scares during her time but I was kept informed at all times by considerate and caring staff. I visit most days and all the care workers welcome me with a smile and a little chat which I really appreciate as I know how busy they are. The
food is exceptionally good - good variety and beautifully home cooked. The office manager is warm and welcoming and willing to help and advise. The maintenance person, activities people, cleaners and laundry ladies do fantastic work - nothing is too much trouble. Despite how busy the manager is he always asks me how I am too. I would recommend Beechcroft as a safe, caring home.

This care home is appalling, there is a lack of care towards the residents the staff do not seem interested in anything the residents say. On a visit I was greeted with a lady wondering around with only soiled underwear on and a top, the staff didn't seem to care and when they noticed they just put
her into her room they didn't help her get sorted they just walked straight out. Staff charging their phones in residents rooms, which to me is very unprofessional when they can charge it in the office. The staff are unprofessional, and the manger only protects his staff and not the residents when asked for a meeting it is all his way or the high way, you are made to feel you can't have a voice because to him you are wrong and he is right which he makes known. He makes residents feel scared & unwanted, I worry about my family member every day. Every time I visit I come away with a new concern, I worry about other residents I do not know. This care home is not fit to care for your loved ones.

My mother in law came to this home in May 25 and put on ASH wing for EMI nursing needs. The welcome was amazing, with the clinical lead and unit manager/nurse. Her room is lovely and spacious. All the carers came at different times of the day to introduce themselves and not overwhelm my mother in law.
The care they all provide is incredible, this includes housekeeping, Maintenace, kitchen and activity staff who all deserve praise. The manager of the home is lovely and will help with anything. The support they give to us as a family is amazing, my father in law is finding it very difficult with this decision and the reassurance and kind words Sue has given him has meant so much to him. Some people are quick to call care homes, but Beechcroft go above and beyond everyday with all the residents, well done.
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review about your mother-in-law's experience on ASH wing since May. It really warms our hearts to know that we were able to make what is often a difficult transition feel as smooth and welcoming as possible for both her and your family. We completely understand how challenging this decision has been for your father-in-law, and we're so glad that the clinical lead and the team have been able to provide the reassurance and support your family needed during this time. Supporting families is just as important to us as caring for our residents. Thank you for trusting us with your mother-in-law's care - we're honoured to be part of your family's journey.

Mum has been in Beechcroft Care Home (Oak Wing) for around 6 months after being discharged from hospital into Nursing Care. Any minor issues are quickly addressed and the management and staff have looked after Mum and her needs really well. Mum is happy at Beechcroft. Although Mum doesn't mix much herself,
there is plenty going on for those who want to be more active. There is a good atmosphere and the staff are really caring and attentive. I find we work well as a team, family and carers. There's little choice for Nursing care homes in Runcorn but Beechcroft are doing a great job
Reply from Florin Hergheligiu, Home Manager at Beechcroft Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Beechcroft Care Home.

The way you describe the staff's attentiveness and quick response to any concerns is exactly what every family hopes for when choosing a care home for their loved one.Given the limited options for nursing care in Runcorn, it must be especially reassuring to know that Beechcroft is providing such quality care. Thank you for highlighting both the caring atmosphere and the professional management of the Oak Wing. Your positive feedback helps other families who may be facing similar decisions about care homes in the area.We're grateful for your trust in us and will continue working hard to maintain these high standards of care for your mum and all our residents.

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 45 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.

Florin Hergheligiu

Job Title: Home Manager

My name is Florin Hergheligiu, and I am proud to serve as the Registered Manager at Beechcroft Care Home in Runcorn. My journey in healthcare began in 2016 as a nurse in Cumbria, where I spent five years honing my skills and gaining invaluable experience, including 2.5 years as a Clinical Lead. During this time, I also worked as a Bank Nurse (Band 5) at West Cumberland Hospital, which deepened my understanding of hospital and residential care. In 2021, I relocated to Liverpool and became the Deputy Manager at Bloomcare - Brushwood Care Home in Speke. My passion for providing high-quality care and leadership has since led me to my current role at Beechcroft, where I continue to focus on delivering compassionate, person-centred care.
