Review from K A (Wife of Resident) published on 5 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
More care is needed in looking after personal belongings and laundry of clothes. I can't keep up with socks for my husband, they always go missing.
Sometimes, he goes 2-3 days without a shave. This morning when visiting, my husband was wearing trousers and shirt that were not ironed.
Lots of his
clothes have gotten lost while being in Beechwood Care Home.

Review from Raydene C (Wife of Resident) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My husband has been in Beechwood Nursing Home for approximately 8 months now. My initial experience was mixed in that I didn't feel welcomed by the staff and had concerns about how some of them responded to residents. However having raised issues with management I feel that my concerns are listened
to and dealt with. On the whole, I feel staff are compassionate and kind, which is what I hope for although sometimes I am not sure how well trained they are to deal with "difficult" situations. I am not entirely satisfied with the meals in terms of nutrition and quality all of the time and I am conscious of when there is a pervading smell of urine which is less often than it was. I hope my comments can be seen as constructive and useful as intended.

Review from A (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident of this carehome for two years now, during this time she has been cared for by a band of extremely caring, kind and dedicated members of staff. It is extremely reassuring many of the staff are the same from the time when she was first admitted. The staff know her extremely
well, and we are happy to trust them with her care. Mum's time in Beechwood has been settled and brought her much calm during a difficult time in her battle with dementia.

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.
