I have my uncle, who is 93 years old with dementia, resident at your Northallerton premises since leaving hospital, at your premises. I am so upset at the disgusting rooms, which have paint falling off the room walls in the corner, where the pipes are obviously covered over. The curtains have no linings
whatsoever, not on the rail correctly, in fact at Christmas I put up simple decorations, and today I actually removed the blue tack and leftover decorations myself as obviously your cleaners could not!!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently visited Beechwood to see my Father. After my cousin had contacted me about my father's situation.
I found the staff very supportive not only to my Father, but also to myself, while visiting.
Having lived in New Zealand since 2001, I had only seen my father twice when he visited New Zealand
in 2012 & 2013.. I feared the worst when my cousin informed me that dad was now resident in a care home.
However to see him at ease, and enjoying the occasional singalong with the staff, reassured me that he is being well looked after. I wish to thank all of the staff for their care and attention to Dad..
If possible I would like to know the full names of one staff member in particular, and the lady that comforted me as I left my last visit, If it is possible I'd like to be able to thank them in writing personally..

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle was placed in Beechwood when discharged from hospital after a bad fall. He is 95 years old and it became clear he could not look after himself at home.
My uncle was very poorly when he first arrived at the home but since that time has improved greatly. I cannot praise the staff highly enough
for the support and care provided, not only for my uncle but to myself.
While my uncle will not return home, I am so relieved that he is safe and being cared for at Beechwood Care Home in Northallerton.

My mum has Alzheimer's and has been in Beechwood since July 2024. Was very difficult at the beginning but the care and understanding she received was brilliant. They have been so patient with her. I'm glad to say she has settled and seems happy there now. I've got to know the carers and they are all
lovely. The best part is that my little dog Betty is welcomed in and some of the other residents love to see her as well and have a cuddle.

Thank you so much for your kind words. All of the people living with us enjoy little Betty coming to visit.

My mother spent 2 weeks of respite care in this home. The staff were helpful and accommodating, making my mother feel welcome the minute she stepped through the door by calling her by her first name. My mother commented on how lovely and friendly the staff were and has turned around and said she would
like to return in the future.

The staff at Beechwood Nursing Home are brilliant, and makes this care home. They are kind, professional and hard working. They genuinely care about my mum, and she feels at home because of them. They treat her like the wonderful individual she is and encourage her to love the best life she can. The
home has a good manager, who has created the right culture that allows the staff to do well.

Several years ago a relative of my husband was in Beechwood and received excellent care. Which is why when this relative needed care I didn't look anywhere else.
I think this and my scoring says it all.

Care and consideration towards the residents are good. All are known by their names and concern is shown with regard to their problems. Nursing care is satisfactory and available at all times. Meals are acceptable but could be more varied. Nighttime care is available and has improved lately. Rooms are
clean, including the ensure. More care could be taken with dressing the residents and attention to hair.

My mum entered Beechwood in December 2021 whilst the home was quarantined due to Covid. It was rather traumatic leaving her and we only had window visits for a few months. Mum always looked well and cared for. The home hit a blip with a failing CQC report but this care home has turned around. There
is excellent management and communication. There is now an activities coordinator. Mum passed away on the 15th of March 2024 but her care was exemplary. The home's best asset, the staff, from the domestic to the nurses/carers and management. It is very much like one large family and mum was loved like a valued relative.

My mother-in-law was admitted following a fall. I can not thank the home enough for the help, support and compassion that they provided not only to my mother-in-law but also my wife during a very stressful and difficult time. My mother-in-laws last months were filled with joy and contentment and her
family were able to come and visit regularly.
Sadly my mother-in-law passed away back in October 2021, however, I can not thank the staff at Beechwood enough for all that did.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.434)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.434) out of 10 for Beechwood Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.434 for Beechwood Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 196 Ratings = 4.434
  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 Beechwood Nursing Home is based on 16 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 16 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.
