Over all time The Beeches has 52 reviews.
All residents have individual needs and the staff meet their needs. Staff very approachable and treat the whole family with care and compassion and supported us through difficult times when we have just lost Dad, her Husband. Thank you to the whole team, it meant so much to us all.
Thank you for your feedback and kind words. This feedback will be shared with the staff team and I’m sure, along with me, they will be proud to know that they are making a difference to the lives of the residents in our care, as well as the lives of their relatives who see and experience the care that they give.
Methodist homes for the aged are Britains best-kept care secret. MHA have, in my families experience, provided excellent care and facilities for my Mother. The staff, of which there are always plenty, are friendly and knowledgeable. They are always happy to discuss my Mother's care issues in a transparent fashion. MHA are very good at organising events for the people they care for and The Beeches is always immaculately maintained. I cannot praise them highly enough.
Thank you for your review and kind words, it means a great deal to the whole staff team to know that we are doing everything we can to ensure that our residents have a meaningful place and a fulfilled life in the home.
During the final days of my husband's life, the care I received was wonderful. Top Marks to The Beeches. I highly recommend you! And thank you all for making our closing months together so bearable.
Thank you for your review and kind words. It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of your lives. Our door is always open whenever you would like to come back. God Bless.
The standard of the home on all subjects is excellent. We feel very safe and satisfied leaving mum in their care.
I first experienced the Beeches over 9 years ago when my mother was a resident due to dementia. During her time there, the MHA took over the care of residents from the previous owner. The home was refurbished and care of residents completely overhauled. What impressed me was that MHA managed to retain the majority of the existing staff and worked with them to improve their skills whilst maintaining continuity for the residents. When my friend needed residential care last year I was happy to recommend the Beeches to her family because I know how well my mother had been looked after whilst in their care. Placing a loved one in residential care is a traumatic experience for most families but the management and staff at this home do all they can to alleviate any worries and concerns. Crucially, you know your loved one is safe and cared for. I have no hesitation in recommending this home on the basis of my own personal experience.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. It means a lot to the care staff and management to know that we make a difference to the lives of all of our residents.
My Mum was cared for with kindness and dignity for the last two years of her life. She passed away peacefully with her daughter at her side being cared for by the staff who we as well as her regard as friends. My main comment on The Beeches is that I would happily live there myself.
Thank you for your kind comments. I will ensure that all staff are aware of your feedback.
The care my mother received in the 11 months she was at the home was extremely good. She arrived unable to walk after falling over and was not very sure of things. My first visit to have a look was good (no appointment) and the home had a good feel. The management and caring staff were great and all seemed to have worked at the home for some time. They were kind and very understanding to my mother's needs. I was always made to feel welcome. The food was good and entertainment was good as seen by photos of events on walls also meals could be taken in rooms if so wished. When mum suddenly died, all the staff were great and so kind to me. If asked about residential care I would recommend The Beeches, residents were encouraged to go out with their families and the medical care was excellent and was kept informed.
Thank you so much for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will ensure staff are aware of your comments. It is nice that they are recognised for the care that is given in the home.
My father was looked after with great care and support over the past 6.5 years. Especially the last few weeks of his life until he passed away 3rd January 2017.
Thank you so much for your very valued feedback.
Very reliable, helpful- good feedback. Always friendly (all staff).
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home. Much appreciated.
Al the staff from the manager down are very friendly, helpful and professional. Nothing is too much trouble! My father gets on very well with them and knows they are looking after him! The standard of the home is excellent, inside and out!
We are very happy with the standard of care my father receives. There is always a good atmosphere within the home. The staff are caring, approachable and treat residents with dignity. We are fully involved in my father's care plan and his ongoing care. The food is very good and the menu varied. His room is comfortable and has en-suite facilities. We definitely made the right choice.
Thank you for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated and nice to know that the care that the staff at The Beeches provides is recognised by family members.
We took my mother to The Beeches at a very difficult time we were struggling to look after her at home. They were incredibly helpful and found her a place very quickly. Every member of staff was kind and sympathetic and competent. Sadly my mother passed away after only two weeks at The Beeches but the caring approach the staff, to both my mother and me and and my sister was impressed and much appreciated. The service and facilities were of a high standard but the attitude of the staff has made this difficult time as bearable as possible. I will definitely recommend The Beeches to others. Thank You.
