Review from J G (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I feel Beechcroft is improving daily in relation to the improvement works. It also appears to be better staffed since my father first moved in. We have only had one disappointment and that is in relation to him not having a working TV aerial to his room. Some residents use the area outside the dining room to sit and chat and I think some of the lounge area could be utilised as a comfy relaxing area. TV always on very loud.

Reply from Radhika Sisodia, Management at Beechcroft Care Home
Thank you for your feedback on Beechcroft's improvements and staffing. We're glad to hear of the positive changes you've noticed.

We apologize for the issue with your father's TV aerial and will address this promptly. Additionally, your suggestion about enhancing the lounge area for a more...

Review from Angela O (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
There is no communication between staff patients and their families.
My mother has bed sores and cradle cap due to hygiene reasons.
She presses her nurse button only for it to be switched off and not attended to.
I dropped her off after a day out only to be told she would have to stay in her wheelchair until two members of staff were available to put her in bed. When I asked how many staff were on, she proceeded to tell me that they had three members of staff on for approximately 31 patients.
We are always left outside the home in all weather, even if my mother is in the wheelchair with me.
Sorry to say but my mother utterly despises where she lives, she gets really upset every time we leave her.
Feel like we can't complain as the staff become really unprofessional with us.

Unfortunately, they're mainly agency staff that don't need any qualifications to be a carer.

Reply from Radhika Sisodia, Management at Beechcroft Care Home
It is our utmost priority to ensure that all residents, including your mother, receive the highest standard of care and live in a comfortable, responsive environment.
Regarding communication, we strive for transparency and open dialogue with our residents and their families.

Overall Experience

Dad moved into Beechcroft in April 2022 but unfortunately passed away in September 2022 after numerous falls in their care. It has come to light since that the records of his falls were not kept updated, including his Care Plan! I do believe that the records have improved under the new ownership but unfortunately, that doesn’t bring our dad back.

Overall Experience

I am writing in praise of the wonderful staff at Beechcroft Care Home, Runcorn. My father passed away on the 21st of December 2022 and was cared for with genuine love and kindness from 2018 when he first joined the lovely Beechcroft community. They are so good, I call them angels. His family and I were treated like friends vs family and continued to do so more intently even as Dad worsened. They're relentless in their dedication and desire to please and to put a smile on faces. Dad had a very happy life and a very peaceful and happy demise. The staff even put a carnation in his hands at the end.

Reply from Radhika Sisodia, Owner at Beechcroft Care Home
Thank you so much for your lovely comments.

We will pass this to our staff. It means a lot to us.

Overall Experience

My mother was placed in this place after breaking her hip in September. She was in there for 8 weeks and not once did she set foot out of her room. Her meals were not fit for purpose as she has no top teeth so she could not eat the hard solid food they gave her. They are understaffed most of the rooms on one side of the building are full of boxes and other junk, and so is the communal room. I would not advise anyone to put their relative in this place. I've got her out of there and brought her home. All they want from you is your money. This is only my humble opinion.

I have struggled lately with family dynamics. I'm happy that someone suggested this care home. The staff are so family focused. I feel like I've always been a part of the resident's care. The residents are so nice. I love them and the staff. Thanks ladies.

Review from Phillip H (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 13 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My first impression of Beech Croft nursing home was somewhat apprehensive. But from the moment we met the staff, it became very clear that they were exceptionally caring to all their residents. The accommodation itself is immaculate, scrupulously clean and well presented. The individual care for the patients is hand-picked by well trained and thoughtful staff. From the staffing levels, which personally look after them, much care and observation are worked on. Since my brother-in-law has gone into Beachcroft, he has greatly improved in his social interaction and his well being. I can only highly recommend this care home. They see to all his needs, plus they also consider his immediate family ie, his wife of 60-years, and keep her well informed of his progress. All I can say is a very big thank you.

Overall Experience

Since I have been placed at Beechcroft, the staff have been outstanding and very friendly. I feel very at home here. They are always there for you no matter what, what help you need. They are a credit to NHS, and with their effort and deadecation as a team and hard work, I would recommend Beechcroft to everyone. They're like one big happy family, very caring and would like to see a change in higher wages for their deadecation in their job.

Overall Experience

The care given by the team at Beechcroft is amazing. Every staff member was genuinely caring and respectful to my aunt. My aunt was only at Beechcroft for three months before her death, but during this time, she was given exemplary care. Each time I visited, she was comfortable and obviously well cared for. Our family are very grateful to all the amazing team at Beechcroft, particularly in her final weeks when they also helped me with their consideration and kindness at an upsetting time.

The time and effort put into caring for residents is exemplary. You can see the feelings are genuine, we are always kept up to date with what is happening. Home is always clean and inviting. A wide variety of food is available and all needs catered for. Entertainment is provided whenever possible and some great days out are organised. All the staff are like our extended family, we love them all. Thank you so much.

My mum and I visited my father on an unplanned visit. The staff were wonderful and the gardens lovely. We had to speak from the outside patio door for obvious reasons. There’s also a little stray ginger cat that’s being cared for, and we know cats go to the best places.

Review from Carolyn B (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 April 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I really did not want to put mum into a care home, she needed 24/7 palliative/Nursing/Dementia care. I visited many establishments unannounced but didn't like any until I went to Beechcroft. I instantly liked the people and the place. Mum moved in shortly after her assessment and I can honestly say the staff were absolutely wonderful with mum and us as a family. I really liked the fact that a Dr did bi-weekly visits, mums room was close to the nursing station and visiting was anytime. All the staff were fantastic with mum, the manager, nurses, carers, cook, kitchen staff, laundry and cleaners. Mum spent 7 weeks and 2 days in Beechcroft and for her last 5 days, I stayed there too as I didn't want to leave her side in her final days. The support and care mum and I received was excellent. Mum kept her dignity, was pain-free and comfortable. Thank you, everyone, at Beechcroft, you will forever hold a place in our hearts for your unconditional love and excellent care you all gave to Mum.

Review from Jennifer R (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We already had a very good feeling about Beechcroft after an unannounced first visit last year and a very welcoming talk through and show round of the home by your staff, followed very quickly by your wonderful manager visiting Nan at her own home to answer all our questions and put Nan's mind at ease with the transition that was to come. The home manager and all the staff made move-in day seamless and were such a huge support. Nan loved the time they gave every day, showing such love, empathy, gentleness and exceptional care. The meals were always fantastic and she absolutely loved the activities that were regularly organised. In her final weeks and days, everyone rallied around Nan and the entire family. Really went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble, the manager, the staff, the kitchen, the cleaners, everyone! We will be forever grateful for everything and can't thank them all enough.

Would recommend Beechcroft to anyone.

Very accommodating and caring establishment with some excellent and interpersonal staff who cared well for my dad in the 3 and a half years he was there. Days out provided great benefit and activities and entertainment well received. Accommodation is dated with some rooms in need of refurbishment. As a family, we are thankful for the compassion and support shown in his final few days.

My grandad was at Beechcroft Care home for approximately two months. He settled in very well and it was a comfort to his family that he was happy there and so well looked after. All the staff were kind and caring towards him and did their best in every way they could for him. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Review from Helen S (Niece of Resident) published on 6 September 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My uncle lived at Beechcroft for four years. He originally chose to stay there, rather than returning to his bungalow, after arriving from a hospital stay. He loved having his meals cooked for him, his laundry done, the company of staff and other residents and not having to worry about the knock on the door or a fall on the way to the shops. He enjoyed trips out (especially to Anfield) and being able to watch Strictly.

His personal care was well supported by staff and when I went to take him out he would be dressed ready to go. When he was ill a doctor was promptly called and chronic issues were well cared for with regular nurse visits. I live a long distance away, but were kept informed of any issues that arose. I was welcomed every time I visited. My uncle had his own spacious room which was always clean and tidy. He had a lovely view into the garden where he enjoyed watching the squirrels and birds. The staff were always caring and kind.

Florin HergheligiuJob 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.
