Click to show a breakdown of the Review Score
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.033 for Beechy Knoll is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.033
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
The 3.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beechy Knoll is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 8 Target = 0.375
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Rather dismal when first visited. There is a new manager and it's different altogether happier environment, happier staff, cleaner - in fact, it's spotless. A pleasant, bright place to be. My sister is very happy and contented there. Her appearance is much improved due to the better care.

It's really good to know the residents are happy and families feel safe leaving their loved ones in our care, thank you for your comments.

Up till October 2016, I was so very concerned about management and staff issues. A new manager was appointed, we have had meetings and spoke at regular times. I feel as though I have been listened to and now feel more than confident that all past issues have been resolved and look forward to the future, sharing and being totally honest. I now trust the manager 100%.

Mum has been in Beechy Knoll for approximately 18months. Mum was not happy, we also were not impressed with the care or service provided. However, in the past few weeks, everything has improved. There is still a long way to go but thank you to the Manager. Our mum is happier now than she has ever been living in the home.

I always find the staff helpful and friendly. The lady who does the activities is brilliant with the residents and does lots of different activities with them. Cleanliness of the home is very good also. I would definitely recommended this care home.
