Beechcroft has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10, based on 15 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Beechcroft has 34 reviews.
My sister has been at Beechcroft nursing home for over 7 years and I visit her every Monday after 1.30pm when dinner is over, so I cannot review the food served. She has dementia but is always clean and well looked after when I visit. I am very pleased the way the staff and management are looking after her, they are doing a great job. I can't thank them enough. The home itself is always warm and spotless, with a good friendly atmosphere and very welcoming. Her ensuite bedroom has a hospital type bed and TV reception with other bedroom furniture. I was very lucky to find this home and for the cost I don't think it could be better.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to review Beechcroft Nursing Home, your comments are very much appreciated. Kind regards
A special mention to Therese, Julie and Sharon who make the home run like clockwork my congratulations to them on a difficult job!
Thanks for a wonderful review and high praise, it is very much appreciated. Kind regards
The staff went above and beyond for my aunt in her final days. She felt loved and cherished for the wonderful lady she was. All staff from kitchen, cleaning, caring, nursing and management ensured all her needs were always listened to. So thank you for making my aunts final months memorable.
Thank you for this wonderfully touching review, your comments are appreciated by all of the team. Kind regards
Excellent nursing care
Clean and comfortable room

The staff at Beechcroft are always supported, friendly and do give lovely care to my mum, I always provide your good support and care for my mum, thankyou for all you do and look forward to continue vist my mum from now and into the future.
Its so nice to hear such lovely words about one of our Homes. Therese and the team at Beechcroft will be thrilled to hear your kind words of recognition. We are glad your mum is happy with us and receiving the high level of care we strive for in our services. Thank you again and have a lovely day.
Overall our family is happy with the care our mum receives. Staff, manager are all friendly and welcoming, especially the receptionist. They are always ready to answer any questions and provide any information we need. Nursing care is also good and staff will readily answer any concerns. Mum has been a resident for over 5 years and has moved rooms. Her present room needs decorating, wallpaper has come away from the wall and paintwork needs sprucing up.
Thank you for your review and kind comments, they are very much appreciated. The points you make regarding room decoration, I have passed back to the Home Manager, so that we can action your concerns. To know that your family is happy with the care received is the best feedback we could have received. Kind regards
My brother is very happy. Staff are lovely. Manager is a very nice lady. Always plenty of drinks and snacks all day long.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post a review for us. The team will be so pleased with your feedback, as they work so hard to ensure all residents are safe, well and happy. Kind regards
I find Beechcroft to have a friendly happy atmosphere. Residents and visitors are made to feel welcome. Care and activities are outstanding.
Wow! What a wonderful review and ratings, we do so appreciate your feedback. Thank you. Kind regards
Mum is well looked after, she has made progress since being at Beechcroft. Activities are excellent for the residents. I am very happy with the care she is receiving.
Thank you for your wonderful review and ratings. We very much appreciate your comments and positive feedback. Kind regards
My mother-in-law has settled in well, Beechcroft I find is a very good home. Residents are well looked after, plenty of activities for the residents.
Many thanks for your 5* review for our home, your ratings and comments are very much appreciated. Kind regards
The home was clean and tidy and was decorated nicely.
My only downside was there wasn't much communication sent to his family when he wasn't well or when he was dying.
We are so pleased you are happy with your Dad's care at Beechcroft Nursing Home! We appreciate your feedback. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!
Very friendly staff. Always clean + tidy throughout.
Thank you very much for your review, the team work so hard to ensure that our residents are happy and well, it's kind of you to recognise their efforts. Kind regards
My mum has come from seven weeks in hospital. Her needs changed so came from residential to Beechcroft. I only have first impressions so far but this has been second to none. The manager was welcoming, kind and informative. All the staff were lovely and nothing was too much. One member of staff made her room homely before she arrived. This has made the move to nursing care so much easier because the staff are lovely. It also smells lovely and fresh and is spotless. I can't comment on food as she hasn't eaten yet but if the rest of this is to go by, I assume this will be good.
Thank you very much for your kind comments and ratings. They work so hard to ensure that new residents are given a warm welcome to the home and it is appreciated when this is highlighted in a review. Kind regards.
Highly recommended for anyone disabled, physically or mentally.
It was a pleasure to visit my wife who spent a contented two weeks there.
Thank you for taking the time to review Beechcroft so highly. We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled your wife enjoyed her time with us. Have a lovely day.
Highly recommend Beechcroft nursing home. My grandad is being looked after by such caring and genuine care workers and nurses. The staff take the time talking to my grandad and treat him with respect and dignity. He is cared for so well, and his appetite has improved a lot which is a credit to the chef/cook as the meals are always wholesome meals and tailored to his needs. Each member of staff from the carers/nurses right through to the admin team all take the time to actually know my grandad by name. Thank you Beechcroft nursing home I know my grandad is in safe hands.
Thank you for taking the time to review Beechcroft so highly. We are so delighted your grandad has settled in well with us and is enjoying his time as part of our We Care Family. We strive to provide the highest standard of care and support for each of our residents and its reviews like this remind us that we are on the right track. Thank you and have a lovely day.
I lived in Beechcroft for several months. The staff helped me to go home, one staff member helped me get sorted on a property scheme and the manager was marvellous as were all the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to review Beechcroft so highly. We are so glad we could provide the high standard of care we aim for.
Overall it is a friendly, smooth-run community. However, a shortage of staff on occasion makes it difficult to monitor all aspects of the home and its residents. Staff do a good job and the new activities coordinator is a great asset to the team. Improvements have started in the quality of meals, compared to when Dad first arrived.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review for Beechcroft. We would like to reassure you that the home is staffed to the level required for the number of residents living in the home, taking into account their care needs. The occupancy has increased slightly over the last few weeks and a...
All staff are very caring and very welcoming. Myself and my family have been extremely pleased with the improvement my sister has made during her stay at Beechcroft.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. It is lovely to how much your sister has improved during her time at the home. I will share your kind comments with the team.
My elderly mother has been a resident at Beechcroft for the past month. My mother suffers from dementia and is recovering from a broken hip. She is also coeliac. In her time at the home, she has been treated with compassion and care by the marvellous, caring staff. The staff have gone the extra mile in making sure my mother has settled in quickly. They even arranged a 90th birthday party for our mother. The home has a brilliant team of people working there from the cleaning, handyman, activities coordinator, clerical and caring staff, and it shows as the home is spotlessly clean, well-maintained, well-run, and the residents well cared for. All my family are so happy our mother was granted a place at Beechcroft, and most of all, the care she is receiving.
Thank you for your wonderful review. It is lovely to hear how happy you are with the care your mum is receiving from our wonderful team at Beechcroft. The team pride themselves on going the extra mile for residents. I will share your lovely comments with the whole team.
Thanks again for making Dads passing as peaceful as possible. I would highly recommend this care facility to anyone looking for elderly care for a loved one.
We are thrilled to read your review. We are glad that you were pleased with all the efforts put in by the team here at Beechcroft.
