My brother took my dad for a look round and he said the staff, cleanliness, decor and facilities were just what dad needs. Dad went in the Saturday before Christmas 2024 and settled straight in. Christmas day was spent having lots of fun for the residents and families visiting. All the staff are fantastic
and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you need to know anything, just ask or if they think you should need to know they tell you. Keep up the great work, thank you.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
This is not a good review. My mum had a fall last month. It took the care home two hours to contact me, after it took an hour for an ambulance to be called, only when my mum said she was in pain. My mum had broken her hip, the staff picked my mum up off the floor after a fall which they should not have
done before she was checked over. I did speak to the manager, she was not very nice to talk to, saying the protocol was followed and staff were dealing with another emergency. Sorry, but there should be staff on to deal with these situations. I am not happy with the care mum received at that time.

The care given and received is adequate. My only quibble is when I am downstairs I don't get to go to the toilet when asking to go as they are short-staffed and busy.

My mother-in-law is very happy at The Beeches. She has been here for almost a year now. She is settled, feels looked after and is given just what she needs. The staff are receptive and appear to care for the residents. I cannot fault the care and compassion I've witnessed on my visits. Thank you.

We are very happy with the standard of care at The Beeches Care Home. The recent management changes have given some stability and direction. Any issues we have encountered have been adequately dealt with. The home has limited facilities due to its age and layout, however, staff endeavour to make the
best out of what they have.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What an amazing place, the residents are their number one priority, after having to take my mother out of another supposed care /nursing home (would love to name but for legal reasons, I can’t), what an absolute difference. All staff are polite, respectful, and speak to you. Make family and friends
feel welcome and at ease, as you know your loved ones are being cared for.
The manager you will see out of the office ensures that all residents are being monitored and treated properly. They only take on one new resident a week (if space is available) to ensure that your loved one settles in well, and receives all they need to enable them to feel at home and feel comfortable.
I can’t praise enough just how at ease I feel that my mum is receiving the best care they can offer, I have actually noticed I am sleeping better at night not worrying how my mum is doing.
They invite all visitors to bring in young people, you can see the faces of all residents light up, and when I took my dog in - wow!

My mum has been residing at The Beeches Care Home for almost three years now. She has thrived at the home and in some ways is now happier and more healthy than when she arrived. She seems to get on well with her living arrangements, other residents (some at least) and staff. I have only seen her upset
about something on rare occasions. The home also caters well for her gluten-free diet. Overall, moving to The Beeches has been a very positive move and she (and we) have had a much less stressful and safer experience than if she had remained at home.

My mum came here in February this year after being in hospital and rehabilitation after a stroke. Her needs are physical but communication is fine. The staff have been brilliant. They are so supportive and deal with Mum with care and patience. The only thing she finds hard is making friends with other
residents, as many of them cannot communicate as well. This is obviously not the home's fault.

It's been a terrible time with covid-19 as I've not been able to see my mum. I can honestly say the staff, all of them have done a fantastic job looking after all the residents in the home especially the manager. Hopefully, things will get back to normal very soon - mum will be able to get her hair
done and her feet and I can hug her.

My father became a resident at The Beeches in March 2020. It was just before the Covid19 lockdown, because of this I wasn't able to help my dad with his transition from hospital to The Beeches. I thought this would make it harder for my dad to settle, however, I needn't have worried, the team of carers
made my father very welcome and he is thriving in the home. I genuinely believe that if my father hadn't been allowed in the home, or if the hospital had sent him home, he would now be dead. My father is now thriving under the care of the carers, his quality of life has massively improved and he is happy. Thank you Beeches.

This is a lovely care home and I'm very pleased I managed to get my father into here. Even during these difficult and unprecedented times of 'lockdown', the staff have taken every precaution to keep the residents safe and well. I am kept well informed of my father's care and any changes which need to
be made. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I know a few local people who have had relatives in The Beeches and the home comes highly recommended.

My elderly Aunty has lived at The Beeches for a year now. She has been treated with unfailing kindness, patience and humour. The staff there are friendly and caring, treating the residents, many of whom can be quite difficult at times, with amazing patience. My mind is at ease, knowing that my frail
89-year-old Aunty will be well looked after there by people who genuinely care, as her dementia inevitably worsens. Importantly, the staff have been professional and proactive in keeping The Beeches free of Covid 19 during the current pandemic.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.062)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.062) out of 10 for The Beeches Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.262 for The Beeches Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.262
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Beeches Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 8 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.
