Beckside

My mum was treated with care, dignity and love. The staff were all wonderful. I can't praise Beckside enough.

My mother stayed here after a fall at home. We found the staff of Beckside to be extremely helpful, caring and supportive during my mother’s stay. Nothing was too much trouble and any help my mother needed was given with kindness and good cheer. The room was very pleasant and the food good. My mother is quite happy to stay here again should the need arise.

Fantastic home staff are extremely approachable, very caring and supportive not only to my mum but also to me, nothing was any trouble at all.

Care at Beckside it's very good. The entire care team is friendly, personable and professional. Facilities are reasonable although some of the bedrooms would benefit from a facelift. Catering and laundry services work well, outside spaces are well maintained and entertainment is first class. Nursing staff members are excellent.

It gave me time and space to build up my strength to go home.

We were well entertained with trips out and quizzes. Everything was very good during my stay here.

After reviewing eight homes of suitability for care for my mother, I chose Beckside for the following reasons: (1) the number of care staff available over 24 hours was visibly greater than all other homes visited (2) level of cleanliness was better (3) fresh food prepared in own kitchens. The care and attention received during my mother's year of occupation lived up to expectations as being very good. The only downside was that room was quite small, but adequate.

The level of care and attention afforded by the staff far exceeded any others and we were more than pleased with the decision to put Mum in their kind and compassionate home.

My mum needed 24-hour care and after much research I chose Beckside. It has a good reputation especially end of life care. I wanted a 'home' for Mum where she could make friends and have an active social life. Beckside has a great activity programme and family and visitors are always welcome. It looks on to a lovely park and is so easy to get to. She had her own room and facilities too. Unfortunately for my mum, it was too late but Beckside's end of life care was wonderful. She always said the ladies were killing her with kindness! Mum liked a whisky and they didn't mind. I couldn't have wished for her to be anywhere else when she passed away!

To be able to leave your much loved, frail and elderly parent in the care of a nursing home in total confidence that they are safe, secure and happy is precious beyond belief! Beckside gave us that confidence on a daily basis. Every single member of staff throughout each discipline treated my mother and us as if we were a part of their family. Each one displayed an innate kindness and concern for our well being that we will never forget. My Mother's last weeks were peaceful thanks to this fabulous place! As her illness progressed I was practically living in the home too, so I saw and heard how staff interacted with each other and residents at all hours of the day and night. I witnessed only care, compassion and good humour even when staff were dealing with immensely challenging situations. I heartily recommend Beckside to everyone in the knowledge they brought peace to our family at the most traumatic time - Thank you Beckside Staff - each and every one of you!

My mum came to live at Beckside Care Home initially for palliative care. Her initial fears were quickly relieved by the friendly welcome and homely atmosphere. She chose her room and a comfortable recliner chair was provided for her use. In fact, my mum outlined her original diagnosis by over a year and I put this down to the excellent care she received.

My mother has been a resident at Beckside nursing home for approximately 6 months. This has been life changing and at times a traumatic time for our family. However, the skill and compassion shown to our family have made this time bearable. The staff are kind and caring. The meals are great and plentiful and a fantastic range of activities are organised for those who wish to join in. The fabric of the building is showing signs of wear but the staff themselves make Beckside a first class establishment. I cannot thank them enough for making us feel that our mother is safe and cared for when we needed help.

During the last weeks of my aunt's life, her care was well managed, sensitive and appropriate, I appreciated that.

I would highly recommend Beckside.

My friend was in Beckside care home for a very short while as she was terminal. The care was excellent, the staff were super, could not have been better. Long may it continue, and much love to them all 'superstars'.

Nothing was too much trouble and they were very approachable and understanding at a very sad time. The room was also very clean with easy accessibility.

The care provided for my brother and my sister-in-law was excellent. The care workers are kind, thoughtful and professional in all their dealings with my brother and sister-in-law. The home was clean and well run, with everyone trying their best for all the residents. The food was excellent. The nursing care, when needed, was excellent.

As a family, we were impressed with the care and time spent caring for dad and us as well. I can't praise highly enough how he was looked after and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others considering Beckside for a loved one.

When my uncle first arrived, I had a few issues I went through with the manager. She gave me reassurance and a letter, a nurse was extremely helpful. I live 5 hours away and she registered the death for me. Took a lot of the worry off for me.

We feel extremely fortunate that we were able to obtain a place for my mother at Beckside. My wife and I visited my mother often, so we were able to see the care being given to her on many occasions. We were always impressed by the high standard of care and the kindness shown to my mother, and also the kindness and consideration shown to us.
