My mother is currently at the Beeches Care Home and I feel that she is getting the best care and attention at a point in her life whereby she needs to have good and thorough personal care for her current needs. I can highly recommend the Management of this care home.

The nursing home is very clean, comfortable, myself and sister feel like Mam is safe here, especially through the night and since her stroke, she is out of bed, dressed and interacting with other people. Something she hasn't had for 15 months.
It's dropped 10 months-years off her. So close to us both,
we get to see her as much as possible. Hope she can stay here in the future, nice staff, good place to be, know she is being looked after.

From the first meeting with the manager, I knew that this care home was for my dad. All staff from admin, carers, registered nurses, laundry staff, cleaners, activity coordinator, pastor and maintenance staff have been amazing. My dad has settled in so well which is a wonderful feeling especially when
I now have to get on a plane home which is abroad. Thank you.
Reply from Lindsey Grady, Home Manager at The Beeches

Thank you for your lovely review of our home. I'm so happy that your Dad has settled in quickly, and become a part of our Beeches family. I hope that whilst you are so far away, this gives you peace of mind that your Dad is safe and happy. I'll ensure that I share your lovely words with the whole team.

Removed my relative from this care home after an incident of verbal abuse towards her. Abuser reinstated. Would not take the risk of this happening again. Fractured femur, fractured clavicle, and numerous head injuries were recorded whilst residing there. CQC states needs improvement and they are not
wrong.
Reply from Lindsey Grady, Home Manager at The Beeches

At The Beeches we pride ourselves on the quality of care and support provided to our residents. I apologise that on this occasion it would seem that you are dissatisfied with the quality of care provided to your loved one. Please be assured that we risk assess every resident we care for and put measures in place to safeguard them as far as possible, from harm or injury. Even then sometimes accidents can occur, however, when they do we are open and honest and follow our robust safeguarding and reporting procedures. Regarding the instance of verbal abuse, whilst I cannot disclose specific details of the investigation, I can assure you that all policies and procedures were followed to the letter, with the full knowledge and to the satisfaction of both the Adult Safeguarding Board and our regulator the Care Quality Commission.

My In-laws have been at The Beeches for two months now, they are both very happy and well looked after and have settled in really well despite my father-in-law not wanting to go into care. The staff go above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming environment for both residents and their family, I
can't thank them enough for making what has been a very difficult time for the family better with their understanding and availability to help as much as possible.

Fantastic staff - will do anything to help. My mum is very happy and settled because of the staff. Rooms and clothing are very clean. Mum is eating really well, chefs help to give different food if Mum doesn't fancy what is on offer. Management is fantastic, always available to help with any questions,
etc. Plenty of activities to keep everyone busy. Very safe for residents, with multiple locked doors for safety. Safe outdoor garden area to sit outside on warm days.

The staff at The Beeches are very pleasant and will react to the needs of the resident immediately when prompted. Activities are beginning to improve with attempts to involve all the residents.
Residents who are reluctant to ask for help may need more checks to augment their basic needs.

My mum was transferred here from another setting and can I just say, wow! The transition for my mum was made easy and very professional. The manager made everything run smoothly, my mum loved it from day one. Everyone is very friendly & professional. The activity coordinator engages with all the residents
and the staff can't do enough. Overall The Beeches have very good staff all around. When I see my mum she's always happy & tells me she's happy here.

My mum has been a resident for over 2 years, in that time she has reduced excellent care. The home is always welcoming, clean and bright. There are lots of activities for the residents. Coffee mornings and meetings for relatives. Mum is looked after with dignity, and given lots of support and affection.
All the staff have been wonderful and very caring.

My auntie has been in The Beeches for a year now, throughout that time from the manager down the staff have been fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. Always putting things on and doing things with the residents which is very important in later life to keep the mind occupied with things to do. The
home is immaculately spotless all the time, the food that the residents get is fantastic, to say the least. All in all, I would definitely recommend The Beeches for all they do for the residents, once again a big thank you to everyone involved in doing a fantastic service. Keep it up, thanks everyone. Much appreciated.

Review from Christine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Very poor standard of care. Mum had no shower for 10 days, had rash all over her body and scabies. If showered, bed washed, helped with incontinence issues, dressed and undressed then the care staff would have seen the scabies. Also never separated her from the rest of the residents when notified by
the doctor of this. Basic care and neglect of the highest standard. Fall mat never put in place as I put it on an angle and it stayed in this position for 2 days, meaning no one was checking on her every 2 hours as they were supposed to because she has mini strokes at night, if they had they would have seen that the mat wasn't out, this is a health and safety concern. Brakes not put back on after moving the bed to shampoo carpet. Mum fell twice as a result.
Mum's diabetes read was 17.2 after giving Mum dessert for lunch, tea, and 3 biscuits three times a day.
Reply from Helen Nairn, Area Manager at The Beeches

We are sorry that you feel the support your mother received is below standard and we are currently conducting a thorough investigation into your concerns. I do hope you will attend the offered meeting to discuss these further.

This home is amazing, the staff are so caring and thoughtful. The home is always clean, and has a real homely, friendly feel to it.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.411)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.411) out of 10 for The Beeches is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.411 for The Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.411
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Beeches is based on 14 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
