Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Dad was looked after very well in the nursing home. He had friendly staff to talk to. He was always clean and tidy.
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Beechcroft

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 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.

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.
Reply from Lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Beechcroft

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My dad was a resident at Beechcroft Residential Nursing Home for 10 months after he fell and broke his hip at his home. The high standard of care he received was second to none and nothing was ever too much trouble for the wonderful staff. The home was very clean and fresh, the food was tasty and dad
was always smart and well looked after. No matter what time we called to see dad, we were met with friendliness and an offer of a cuppa! During the last weeks of dad's life, our family was included in all aspects of his care and decision making and we received kindness and support from all the staff. We cannot praise Beechcroft highly enough.

My mother and father were residents at Beechcroft home until their recent deaths. The care staff at the home are extremely hard working and show genuine care, attention and respect for the residents.
In the months leading up to their passing, our family received much support from all staff from management
down. Many went the extra mile (and more!) showing much patience with my father who had dementia. I can't thank them enough.

With living a long distance away, I pop in to see Mum at all hours within reason when I can as I am working through the day. Staff are always so polite and caring. No matter what time I arrive, Mum's room is so clean and tidy and Mum always looks clean and smart. They do all they can for her and I cannot
praise them enough - they are all so caring and deserve a medal.


Well done to all the team.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our decision to have mum cared for in her latter months than at Beechcroft.
We reviewed many homes for my mum and selected after careful thought Beechcroft.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.690)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.690) out of 10 for Beechcroft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.690 for Beechcroft is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.69
  2. 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 Beechcroft is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
