Beeches Care Home

I am happy with the service provided by The Beeches.

Although my wonderful wife of over 57 years was only in the Beeches Nursing Home in Arnold, Nottingham for six days (she was on 'fast track' from hospital in Nottingham), her stay here was exceptionally memorable. The manageress and her staff catered for her every need. Our close family were made very welcome, as we were in attendance every day, my youngest daughter and I spent the final two nights with her. Having so much support in the saddest time of our lives has left a lasting impression. So many smiles, so many memories and her passing so peaceful. Thank you all once again.

Meals generally good, sausages served on Saturdays awful.

The manager has only been in place for a few weeks and has to reorganise the home. My sister is a long term resident and was self-funded initially, but now contributes to her payments from works pension fund and state pension. Local authority pay the rest. My sister is "special needs" from birth.

My husband is also a resident and not very mobile due to a long term illness. The staff are very kind to him.

Since becoming a resident at The Beeches in December 2015, my father's health has improved dramatically. He has gained weight and although he still misses his "old home", he has benefitted tremendously from having company.

My father does have health issues, obviously, but the GP is always called promptly she the need arises and this gives me peace of mind.

Overall, my father is looked after very well and I cannot thank the staff enough.

The home is very clean, food is good. I have the opportunity to be by myself if I need to.

I found the staff were very good and very caring, nothing was too much trouble for them, even on their time off, this goes from the manager downwards.

Nothing seemed too much trouble, even when my mother had to be hoisted out of a chair into a wheelchair to be able to go outside for a cigarette, or a walk to the local shops etc. We were always met with a smile from whoever opened the door, kept up to date with every aspect (eating, drinking, medications etc). When my mother was nearing the end of her life we were able to stay overnight and be with her. Thank you all.

Mum seems very happy in the home. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help us. The manager is a lovely person and very helpful too.

Although mum's stay was short she was very quickly made to feel at home at The Beeches. The staff showed great kindness to her as she settled into her new environment. At the time of her death and following it they also took the time to care for us as a family. Thanks to everyone involved in any aspect of mum;'s care you were all great.

Generally, a happy home, clean and managed well. Staff appear to be happy in their job, attentive, caring and very friendly to residents and visitors. Good place to be.

I go frequently into The Beeches and I feel that everyone from the manager, the administrator and all the staff have become our friends. We are shown friendliness, always made to feel as though we matter and I have observed these traits carried through to all the residents. I have particularly impressed with the cleanliness and freshness of the home. I have also observed the high standard and choice of the food served in hotel conditions. Well done everyone!!

My dad has Alzheimer's and finding people who care and understand is not easy but we know that he is happy at The Beeches. They are also very kind to relatives of residents and extend a warm welcome to everyone.

Our relative had a terminal illness and was treated very well. She died early am (7.30 ish) and one of the carers was with her when she died and held her hand (superb). We visited regularly and the staff were always pleasant and helpful.

The staff at the Beeches are excellent and very supportive.

Manager very welcoming and understanding, helpful with any problems or concerns, she installs confidence in care of your relative. Carers are very friendly, welcoming and go to great lengths to make a relative comfortable and attend to their needs physically and mentally (e.g to cheer them up when they are feeling tearful and relatives too) all the staff cleaners, cooks provide and contribute to a lovely clean home and enjoyable food.

My mother has been at The Beeches for nearly three years and I am extremely satisfied with the care she gets from everyone there. All the staff are so kind and helpful, the carers are wonderful and the kitchen staff, office staff and cleaners are so kind. I have peace of mind knowing that my mother is well looked after by everyone there and that her food, medication and everything else is given to her with every care. I am satisfied that I definitely chose the right home for her.

I am very happy with the care that my mother-in-law receives at The Beeches. She is very settled in the home. I can't praise the staff highly enough.

I cannot praise too highly the care and attention received by my wife in this care home. A doctor is called when it is thought necessary. Personal attention for chiropody and hairdressing are a regular provision. The rooms and corridors are bright and nicely appointed and clean. All staff are patient, cheerful and attentive.

My husband is in remission from prostate cancer, he has mobility problems and memory loss. He is now 85 years and I have been his carer for over ten years. I am 80 years old and recently required respite help for him. We were lucky enough to find that this was available at The Beeches which is very near to our home. My husband spent a week there in October and loved it. He is now attending two days each week and it has definitely become a life changing experience for both of us. All the staff from the manager and everyone else have shown kindness and consideration to us and all my husbands needs have been addressed in ways that have exceeded my expectations.
