Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was concerned about my grandmother going into a home during Covid, however, I was delighted with the care given throughout. I was put fully at ease by the home manager and staff. I know she was very comfortable during her last weeks and days. I would highly recommend Beechwood Nursing Home to anyone.

I've been incredibly impressed with the quality of care my uncle has received. The staff have always been helpful when I've spoken to them and were very accommodating and professional when I visited. The home was clean and the gardens tidy and welcoming. It was also a delight to see a peacock walking
around. It's reassuring that even during these unprecedented times the care and safety of my uncle was a number one priority.

My dad had to be admitted to a care home after a stay in hospital, we were very nervous due to the pandemic. However, our minds were put at rest straight away after speaking to the Manager and we could not be happier with the care that is provided from all the team at Beechwood. We have been able to
visit my dad and the improvement we see at every visit is great! I would not hesitate in recommending Beechwood Care Home.

My nanna is so well cared for. The home is amazing! During Covid, everyone has worked so hard to keep everyone safe. The staff team have been brilliant. Visited my nanna as a named visitor and the home is so clean and lovely.

Review from Heather L (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I simply cannot rate the setting highly enough. The care they gave to my mother was simply second to none. She was treated with patience and compassion and the staff were, without exception, conscientious, committed and attentive. Mum visibly relaxed when she came here and so did I.
I'm only sad that
she couldn't enjoy the care she had here for longer but when she did eventually pass away, she was treated with honour and dignity and the staff gave me all the time I needed, plus hugs and cups of tea and - best of all - allowed me to talk and to ask questions.
I truly wouldn't hesitate to recommend the setting; the staff are a credit to both the management and the industry and it is a rare gem. I have some wonderful memories of Mum's last weeks (especially the sing-along) and it is beyond price to have that to look back upon and to know that I did a good thing the day I was able to bring her here.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After the new manager arrived all changed. We then had a caring, real team of professional staff and you felt they were all working together in the best interests of the residents. Nothing was too much effort by the staff to make the residents more comfortable and happy. I will always be grateful for
the help given to my wife as Alzheimer's took her away from us and their obvious share in our loss.

Review from Shaun Paul S (Grandson of Resident) published on 28 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nana is a resident here, she has dementia. Over the time that she has been a resident here, her needs may have changed a lot but the staff and management have dealt with her needs in a very caring and professional way. Most importantly keeping nana's dignity very much intact.
The food is excellent
and you can't fault it for the residents. Also most days the residents have activities that they can join in if they wish and quite regularly they arrange for family meal nights that have themes. They are amazing, thought out wonderfully.
The home is clean and hygiene is a top priority, so for me each time I'm entering the home there is a welcoming and homely atmosphere.
The staff are very caring not only for the resident but in my personal experience for the relatives as well.
Happily recommend the home and especially staff to people needing such a home/home environment for their family member/members.
Amazing, keep up the brilliant work and support that you do and give.

I seem to be at the age where all my friends have a mother in care too. Swapping notes it appears that my mum is having a better time of it than most. It's a purpose built but home.
Very clean and wonderful staff.

My mother has been at Beechwood Care Home for 12 months in which time she has been given excellent care but above all the very thing everyone needs, love and lots of cuddles.
She has recently had several falls due to her arthritis in her legs and spine. Thanks to the staff she has special cushions
and a mattress and also a special hat to protect her.
My husband and myself could not wish for her to be anywhere else.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Majority of staff are attentive and caring.


Never appears to be enough staff available, particularly at meal times when residents' repeated requests can be ignored or deferred for an unacceptable period of time.


Concerns over safety with seeming lack of staff around. More staff available, or

cameras installed, may offer reassurance.


Cleaning staff to be commended.

On visiting my gran, I was very impressed with the home. When she had to go into the home, I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised and put my mind at rest.
As I live over 200 miles away, I am not able to visit too often. So knowing she is being well cared for is comforting.

Staff responsive to requests and feedback from myself and family members. However, attention to personal care should not have to be requested by family members.
At times, particularly meal times, there does not appear to be enough staff. Noise level at meal times unacceptable. The quality of food could
be improved. Some staff members, a small number, show a lack of understanding of dementia in their attitude to residents - more dementia training? On the whole, staff friendly and responsive. Cleanliness good.

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.
