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.
Thank you for your sad, but lovely review. We appreciate it.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm sure all the staff will appreciate it as well.
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.
Thank you very much for your kind review. All the staff will appreciate the recognition being given to them.
The standard of care and compassion shown to my Mum by all the staff has been wonderful. Beechcroft has a real caring community feel and at a time when I didn't really want to think about nursing care or a home. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Thank you for your comments. So glad your were happy with the standard of care at Beechcroft. I'm sure the staff at Beechcroft will appreciate your review.
We reviewed many homes for my mum and selected after careful thought Beechcroft.
The manager and staff were always caring, friendly and very knowledgeable.
Thank you for making such a very difficult and sad time, of course, less difficult.
We sincerely appreciate all your care and wonderful attention.
Thank you very much. So glad Beechcroft were able to care for your mum.
The staff are so friendly and welcoming to residents and visitors alike.
Staff are dedicated to giving the best care and making residents feel at home.
There are activities everyday and family are welcome to join in.
The food is excellent and mum's appetite has improved since she moved in.
Her room is kept clean and tidy and she is treated with respect and affection.
Thank you for your positive review. So glad you are satisfied with the care your mum is receiving. The staff at Beechcroft work hard and will appreciate your recognition.
This is an absolutely fantastic care home. I have moved my grandad from two other homes as he was not happy and neither was I. My grandad has full capacity so is able to tell me himself how happy he is in Beechcroft and how amazing the staff are. Beachcroft is clean, the staff are friendly and so helpful, the manager is very hands on and will do anything she can to help. I’d highly recommend Beechcroft to anyone of any level of care need. I also find it speaks volumes that a few of Beechcroft's own staff have relatives there too. 10/10.
Wow! What a review! Thank you so much. Glad Beechcroft has lived up to your expectations. Well done to all the staff at Beechcroft.
My aunt was admitted to this caring home on 12th December 2018, in the late stages of bowel cancer, the care she received was excellent in all respects. Beechcroft is spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished, warm and welcoming. The staff at all levels are friendly, professional, caring and dedicated to the health of residents. While at Beechcroft my aunt's every need was catered for and she slipped away quietly and comfortably, on January 2nd, having received exemplary care. A special mention goes to the manager, whose management and people skills enable the caring environment in this lovely home.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. Your compliments will be conveyed to all the staff at Beechcroft.
During my father's stay there, the staff in all roles at Beechcroft provided excellent care and displayed obvious concern at a personal, as well as professional level. They were flexible and good humoured when dealing both with my father and his family and always strived to accommodate preferences for diet, mealtimes, bedtime, etc.. Visiting family were always positively made welcome no matter what time of day or night. My father benefited greatly from the excellent medical care - problems that would otherwise have taken hours to resolve and even lead to hospital stays were dealt with quickly and calmly within the home. I will always be grateful to the staff at Beechcroft for the professional and compassionate way they helped my father and his family at a very difficult time.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass your comments on to all the staff at Beechcroft.
My dad had the very best care at Beechcroft. I couldn’t ask for more. The staff are universally dedicated, hard-working, extremely competent and truly caring. They work extremely hard all day long and yet remain cheerful and professional with residents and guests. The staff supported my dad and his wider family so amazingly well during my dad’s final weeks. The nursing staff were so competent and attentive we could feel very comfortable knowing dad would be quickly looked after if any health issues arose. The staff took the time to get to know each resident and my dad enjoyed their company very much. His final weeks would have been a lot less enjoyable had he not had the benefit of their company. We recommend Beechcroft 100%.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. I will ensure that the staff at Beechcroft are made aware of your review, as they will appreciate the credit being given to them.
What can I say, thank you a million times for looking after my 65year old mum in the final months of her life. The love and affection shown to my mum was beyond belief and not just to my mum but all residents living there. Staff on every level took real time to chat, love and care for my mum, I would recommend you to anyone who wants their loved one to receive top class care. I will miss going there myself as it was such a big part of the last 5 months. I can't end this review without mentioning the food as it was fabulous, more like fancy restaurant food than what you would expect in a home. The chefs are amazing and it's lovely that people living in a care home get to enjoy delicious meals every day, it was a big comfort to me as my mum didn't eat for months before going to Beechcroft, then she couldn't get enough, thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. I’m sure your comments will be much appreciated by all the staff at Beechcroft.
I cannot praise the staff of this nursing home enough. They are the staff of the highest quality. Apart from being highly professional, they are extremely compassionate they took care of Mum's every need and on top of that found time to help us through a very difficult time. When I say us that meant an awful lot of our extended family. To the staff, I extend my warmest thank you, you are all brilliant.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it was our pleasure to be able to care for your mum and yourselves.
What a marvellous care home. The staff and nurses made my Mothers last days really happy for her and nothing was too much trouble for them. If you are looking for a care home in the Wirral area this is the one.
Thank you for your kind comments - they are very much appreciated.
The lift is old and needs updating, however, the staff plans in place meant that after the first breakdown my mother was not affected because she was moved to a ground floor room.
Due to the problems last summer with the lift, we installed 2 stair lifts in November 2017, with a 3rd stair lift to be installed by March 2018, as a back up to the main lift, covering all 4 floors. In addition, the lift mechanism was...
