Beech House is like a 5 start hotel, the carers are very kind, caring and always friendly. The food is excellent and the Chef will make you something different from the menu, if there's something on the weekly menu that you cannot eat, I went in for 2 weeks respite after a total knee replacement, and
came out fully rested and walking the home on my walker. I have nothing but praise for everyone in Beech House made me feel at home, and I was sorry to leave after my 2 weeks were up. Thank you Beech House.

All the team at Beech are fantastic I cannot rate them enough, my father in law had only been with them since 22nd May but what a change in him , we as a family found it hard to say we could not meet his needs at home anymore but after a few weeks in hospital we found a place at Beech House for him
he has had put on weight is participating in the daily activities so lovely for us to see he also loves the food nothing is too much trouble for the team .At the same time his wife was also in hospital and at end of life again without issue they got a bed for her too this means he can see her daily before she passes and also we can see them both together and as they have been married nearly 65 Years this means so much to us all and as a family makes our journey smoother.
We know soon we will loose her but we know she will be cared loved and looked with dignity till sadly she leaves us .
The support the team have given us as a family is very special cannot thank them enough

Dad stayed at Beech House for 6 weeks respite following a serious fall. We felt nursing care would be beneficial for his recovery. We have been blown away by the care, love, professionalism and compassion shown by all staff. Dad said he felt he was part of a big caring family and this was just what
he needed. He is now considering permanent care based on his experience and we couldn't be happier that the decision will be his.

My Mum went into Beech House with a diagnosis of frontal temporal dementia last July (2023). The manager & staff were all very kind and welcoming and Mum settled in straight away. She died in March 2025, having had a settled, calm but fun time. The staff encouraged her to join in all the activities
(every day there is something if the residents wish) & showed immense care as her health declined suddenly. The staff could not have been better or more supportive to both us and my Mum.

My aunt went to Beech House Care Home in October 2023. She spent over a year being brilliantly cared for by the patient, friendly and very caring staff up until her passing at the end of November. She loved the companionship of the staff and residents and thoroughly enjoyed not only the food but the

My stepmother transferred into Beech House after becoming frail from serious ongoing health issues, which when living in a local retirement village had proved too challenging to be adequately managed under her very expensive domiciliary care package. She is a lovely, but sometimes stubborn, person who
could be difficult to please, particularly when she was in pain. However, with the help of the local Beech House Care Home GP, she has settled very quickly into her new home and is very happy there. She is now largely pain-free and in an environment where the staff all treat her with care and respect. She's rediscovered her love of food (especially the daily treats!) and is now joining in some of the activities. Her whole life has been transformed from her former lonely existence in a small flat with carers dashing in and out without any time to spare, to a place where there is caring support with staff who always find time for a chat and a laugh with her. Well done Beech House. 10/10 for everything!

I am delighted to report that Beech House remains an excellent care home in all respects - the staff never failing to be helpful and friendly and the

A recent change in management has restored the warm family atmosphere that my parents enjoyed.

My mother moved into Beech House in January 2024. She had been in and out of hospital prior to moving to Beech and we could not have chosen a better home for her. It is in a great location, with a beautiful garden. Every single member of staff was attentive, kind and caring throughout her stay. We
were able to take in any personal possessions for her room to make it feel like home, including mirrors and pictures which were all rearranged as she wished.
There were stimulating activities every day. My mother looked forward to the meals and said they were delicious - and she had very high standards!
As relatives, we could come and go as we pleased with no restrictions. The communication between staff and family was fantastic - they took on board any concerns, were quick to respond and kept us updated on a regular basis.
The transition to Beech House for both my mother and us as her family was smooth and seamless. The staff took away all of our anxieties. Thank you all!

My mother has been in Beech House Care Home for a number of years.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.849)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.849) out of 10 for Beech House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.849 for Beech House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.849

  • b) 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 Beech House Care Home is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nurse Manager

Joined: 2023

My name is Lucy Bolland, I am the Nurse Manager at Beech House. I have worked for the company since 2013 and worked across three Bristol Care Homes houses working as a nurse as well as a Deputy. My nursing career started in the NHS where I gained experience nursing on surgical wards as well as women’s health. I then moved into care home nursing as this fitted around life with a young family.


Bristol Care Homes has given me many opportunities to develop my career while working in different environments each with their challenges and rewards. As a company, I have always felt supported in my roles and I particularly enjoy working with a dedicated team of staff.


My role involves working with an amazing team and no two days are the same which provides variety and keeps my job interesting while also always having the opportunity to learn and develop. Meeting new people and supporting residents and their families is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.


I live in the local area with my family and enjoy spending time with them and traveling in my spare time.

Job Title: Deputy Nurse Manager

Joined: 2023

My career began back in the 1990s working in a community home as a support worker with clients with learning disabilities. This inspired me to undertake my Nurse training which I completed in Taunton. I have experience within the NHS for over 20 years including theatres, recovery, and ITU. I have also completed training as an anaesthetic practitioner. 2019 led me to a change of direction in elderly care. Since then I have worked up to the role of Deputy Manager I am currently undertaking my Level 5 in Leadership to enhance my knowledge and skills.


Outside of work, my hobbies include walking (I try to walk around 3-5 miles daily and this has all part of a health plan). I have recently begun running but after a clumsy moment and a fall, I am taking a break. I also enjoy playing Lawn Bowls in the summer and Skittles in the winter.


I love to travel whether abroad or in the UK and I like to plan in advance so I have trips to look forward to.

I’ve been working at Bristol Care Homes since 2017.


Bristol Care Homes is a great organisation to work for because they value their staff just as much as they value their residents, and their vision is something I am very passionate about. Having grandparents on both sides affected by dementia, I have the greatest empathy for the elderly and those who are living with it.


I want to make a difference in the lives of the residents by taking a holistic approach and providing relevant activities. Important and meaningful.


Within this company, there are excellent training opportunities for development and growth; in my case, I progressed from Activities Co-ordinator to Social Engagement and Well-being Manager in three years, something I am very proud of.


I enjoy spending time with my family away from work. I like singing, dancing, and taking my dogs for walks. Knowing how valuable life is, I like to live it to the fullest.

Job Title: Contracts Manager

Joined: 2021

I’ve worked for Bristol Care Homessince 2021 and before that, I worked in housing and for the local authority. This background has enabled me to see ‘the whole picture’ and provides valuable skills that I utilise when families have funding queries.


Dealing with the local authority can be challenging and I make it my mission to simplify the process for residents and provide an intermediary for them. I am passionate about improving the services within adult social care and share wholeheartedly the holistic approach which Bristol Care Home values.


When I’m not working, you will often find me hiking up a mountain as I love the tranquillity of the great outdoors. I have adult children so I’m enjoying the peace and quiet before grandchildren come along!

Job Title: Care Quality Manager

Joined: 2018

I’m thrilled to introduce myself as your Care Quality Manager, a role I’ve embraced with great enthusiasm here at Bristol Care Homes. Since joining the family in 2018, it’s been my privilege to work across our group of four homes, ensuring that the care we provide not only meets but exceeds the highest standards.


My journey in the healthcare sector has been both rewarding and diverse. As a registered nurse, I’ve had the opportunity to directly impact the lives of those in need, offering care and support at a personal level. This hands-on experience has been invaluable, teaching me the intricacies of patient care and the importance of compassion in our daily interactions.


In addition to my nursing background, I’ve also had the pleasure of educating the next generation of healthcare professionals as a health and social care teacher. This role allowed me to share my knowledge and passion for care, shaping the future of our industry.


As your Care Quality Manager, my mission is to ensure the quality of care you receive is nothing short of exceptional. I’m dedicated to monitoring our services, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing changes that enhance your experience and well-being. My goal is to make sure that every resident feels valued, cared for, and happy.


Your feedback is incredibly important to me. It helps us grow and improve, ensuring that Bristol Care Homes remains a place where excellence in care is not just an aspiration, but a reality. I look forward to continuing our journey together, making each day better than the last.

Job Title: Physiotherapy Strategy Manager

Joined: 2022

With a background as a specialist neuro-physio, I am passionate about maintaining and improving the quality of life of our residents.


My role within Bristol Care Homes covers all aspects of our residents lives, from activities of daily living to days away from the home. If required, I assess and advise on the optimal equipment to be used for daily transfers, where along with the carers we are always looking to maintain movement and independence as much as possible. In addition to this I work with the activities coordinator to encourage their sessions within the homes to adapt to a resident’s particular needs. For example, encouraging the use of a particular hand when doing arts and crafts. If specialist seating or a wheelchair is required I am able to advise and ensure that the correct equipment is provided, subsequently promoting participation in activities within and outside of the home.


Alongside this, I am contributing to the moving and handling training programme of our care staff in order to combine all the existing moving and handling guidelines with promoting optimal ergonomics for our residents. Should residents want to make use of an external physiotherapist arranged privately, in order to have frequent exercise sessions, I can oversee this programme and ensure any advice is integrated into the rest of their daily activities, as well as where possible arrange to meet the visiting physio and collaborate with them and our resident.


One of my main aims is to encourage the little and often approach; understanding how small changes in movement day to day can lead to tangible improvements in quality of life.
