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.

Review from Jasmine J (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 15 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Tina W (Niece of Resident) published on 11 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from J H (Son of Resident) published on 28 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Sara (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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%.

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.

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.

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.

Caring friendly staff who looked after my mother very well. The manager of the home responded quickly to concerns and did her utmost to resolve. Variety of entertainment. Good decor and the new Christmas decorations were lovely. I am very grateful for the care shown to my mother. Thank you.
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.
Reply from Amin Dhanjee, Director at Beechcroft

Thank you for your kind comments. It is much appreciated.
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 partially upgraded in August 2017, with the upgrading to be completed after the installation of the 3rd stair lift. The main lift is already a lot more reliable.

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.
