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.
Thank 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...
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words about your mother-in-law's . The well-being of our residents is our top priority, and we're especially proud of our kitchen team for their hard work in preparing fresh, excellent meals every day . It has been our privilege to care for your mother-in -law and we send our very best wishes to you and your family.
During her stay she was treated with respect, kindness, compassion and received excellent care. All members of nursing and care staff were extremely attentive to mum and attended to her every need. We are sad mum had to leave as she could not have been treated better anywhere else.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send us your kind words about your mum's stay with us at Beechcroft.It means a great deal to the entire team to know that your mum was treated with the respect, kindness, and excellent care she deserved. We were very sad to see her go and we wish her all the...
I've been volunteering at Beechcroft care home for the past few months and I've been consistently impressed by the level of care and dedication displayed by the staff. From the nurses to the healthcare assistant, everyone works efficiently as a team to ensure the best possible care for its residents.
It's wonderful to hear about your positive experience volunteering at Beechcroft Care Home! We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad to know that you've been consistently impressed by our staff's dedication and teamwork. Thank you for being such a valuable part of our community at Beechcroft.
Amazing staff and amazing manager..the manager goes above and beyond to make sure residents and families are happy. Have come to love the staff llike family...they are lovely an look after my brother really well
Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful message. Your kind words of appreciation mean a great deal to the entire team. We are genuinely heartened to know that you feel supported and that your brother is receiving the care and attention he deserves.Please be assured that our commitment to the...
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.
That's so wonderful to hear! We're absolutely delighted your mum's happy with us at Beechcroft.It means a lot that you feel so informed and that our team, from the care workers who chat with you daily to the kitchen staff making those lovely home-cooked meals, are making a real difference. We're...
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.
Thank 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...
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
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Beechcroft Care Home. It's wonderful to hear that your mum has settled in well over these past 6 months and is happy in her new home. The way you describe the staff's attentiveness and quick response to any concerns is exactly what...
The home will welcome the upcoming refurbishment but the atmosphere is always lively and bustling with music playing and staff and activities interacting with residents. This is what we wanted for him and he enjoys the stimulation.
He is thriving at 89 at Beechcroft and I feel happy that he is in the care of the staff team, being treated with dignity and respect and that the team will fight for his rights and needs as much as I will myself.
The staff are so genuinely caring and compassionate and this is something that cannot be taught. They are all so positive and kind. This level of care was amazing and I felt so reassured that my nan had arrived somewhere which felt so homely.
stand out moment-when we first arrived the staff member greeted my nan and came down to her level, shook her hand and introduced himself. Sometimes people in wheelchairs can get overlooked and this was never the case.
All the staff and managers are wonderful. Particularly the ward manager who took such great care of my nan towards the end of her life.
Also another staff member in particular who was so positive and always called me with updates etc on days I couldn't go and see my nan. So genuine and kind.
The manager is such a wonderful person who always checked in on us all and cares so much about the staff and residents.
All the staff are absolute assets to this home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience regarding your grandmother's care at our facility. We're delighted to hear that she is happy, healthy, and receiving the attentive care she deserves.Your feedback about our staff being "amazing" means the world to us. Our team works...
I cannot fault the Care my wife receives. Her illness can maker her a very dfficult patient yet nothing is too much trouble for the staff. In addition my wife has experienced one or two problems which have required outside interventions, however she has been closely monitored at all time to ensure her best interests.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a positive review. We understand that your wife's illness can present difficulties, and we are so glad that our team's dedication and willingness to go the extra mile have made a difference. Knowing that you feel she is closely monitored and that her best...
The staff are friendly and caring,always with smiles and nothing is too much trouble.
Beechcroft is clean and comfortable and my mum is happy.
Thank you for this wonderful review! Knowing that your mum is happy and well looked after at Beechcroft is the best feedback we could receive. We are particularly pleased that you highlighted the dignity and respect with which she is treated, as well as the friendliness and caring nature of our staff. Thank you again for your trust and supportit means a great deal to all of us.
The staff always share a laugh with her and always welcome me with a smile.
Thank you so much for your lovely messageit really means a lot to us. We always do our best to make life as comfortable and happy as possible for our residents, and its so nice to hear that its being felt. The whole team here at Beechcroft cares deeply about what they do, and your kind words will definitely put a smile on their faces. We'll be sure to share them!
She told me as my mum is bed bound and hoist lifted she would expect to see signs of bed sores or marks on her as this unfortunately happens, but she could see no sign of this on mum, which is evidence she is well looked after.
She said the care home are doing a fantastic job caring for my mum and wanted me to pass this message on to the home.
I couldn't agree more, mum is very happy in Beechcroft and all the staff are amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing this it really means a lot to all of us here at Beechcroft.Its lovely to hear that the hospital nurse had such kind words about your mums care. We always do our best to make sure our residents are safe, comfortable, and well looked after, so hearing that there were no...
Uncle passed away today being cared for right to the end. The GP was called when needed and appropriate medication given as necessary. As a family we were kept informed ,which when you are not local to the Home was reassuring.
I cannot thank Beechwood Care Home enough.
Thank you for your heartfelt message and for sharing your uncle's experience at Beechcroft. Please accept our deepest condolences on his passing. We understand how difficult this time must be for you and your family, and we are truly grateful that we could provide comfort and care to him in his...
My Dad who had cancer was in Beechcroft for the last few weeks of his life and the staff were amazing. They were friendly and professional and took great care of my Dad, they also made sure me and my husband were looked after and my Dad had everything he needed. I felt very comfortable knowing my Dad was being cared for here and I can't rate them highly enough.
Thank you for your kind words. We always endeavour to provide the best care we can, and knowing that we made a difference during such a challenging time for you and your family means the world to us. We may not be perfect, but we are dedicated to making sure every resident feels comfortable,...
The staff at the home are, in my opinion, friendly, helpful and always available if you have any problems.
Before moving into this care home, Mum was in hospital for five weeks and was bedbound for the whole time due to her legs no longer working, so when she moved into this home I expected her to be bedbound for the rest of her days, I was happily shocked to find on one visit that Mum was in the lounge with all the other residents. On speaking to the manager, he explained that unless it is really not possible, every resident would be in the lounge area to socialise, this, for me, was good to hear as this was good for Mum's mental health.
Mum passed away this week in the home and the staff, especially two members of staff in particular, were especially helpful and on hand for support as soon as it happened, giving me as much time as I needed with Mum.
Wish I put Mum here first.
Thank you Beechcroft Care Home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful and heartfelt feedback. We are sorry for your loss and send our deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. It is incredibly touching to hear about the positive impact our team and the environment had on your...
Beechcroft Care Home is a very well-run care home. Mum has been there three months, she has settled in very well and loves the staff as they are so caring. The food is good. It gives me peace of mind as my mum needs 24-hour care, I know she is safe and well looked after. The senior team are very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Beechcroft.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback about Beechcroft Care Home. We are delighted to hear that your mum has settled in so well and feels at home with us. It means the world to our team to know that the care, dedication and effort we put into ensuring our residents' happiness and well-being are appreciated. Thank you, once again, for taking the time to share such positive feedback.
My nan moved here from another care home, it was the best decision we ever made, she has gained weight, the food is fresh and she is settled beautifully, the staff are amazing, the care they give her is lovely, they work hard and can't do enough for the residents and families. They do family get-together events BBQ Halloween Christmas with entertainment and lovely food, the management is very approachable and doesn't just sit behind a desk, he helps with medication and care, we are so happy we moved Nan here.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear how happy and settled your nan is since moving here. It's wonderful to know that she's thriving, enjoying the fresh food and benefiting from the care and dedication of our team. We're...

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.
