Mum has settled here very quickly. I believe this has been helped by the fantastic staff who she gets along with very well. They have picked up on her foibles, such as no gracy on her food and have developed a friendship with her. She loves her weekly trip to the hairdresser. Tea could be a little more varied but other than that no complaints.
The staff are very respectful and caring which has made the transition easier, knowing she's safe 24hrs a day with people who genuinely care.
Her room is spacious allowing us to make it more homely with own furniture & belongings.
Great hairdresser on site which mum likes to attend weekly.
There is a number of activities arranged weekly but mum chooses not to participate, she enjoys knitting & crosswords in her room.
The staff/management are approachable making it easy raise concerns.
Only negative would be the food, mum was an excellent cook/baker so home cooked food is greatly missed.
I am always impressed by the front of house decor and coffee shop style area to relax and meet my friend in.
My visit at Xmas was for a Christmas fair with stalls and entertainment for everyone to enjoy.
It was a delight to see how tasteful the Xmas deco around the home and how busy and fun the fair was.
Sooo Christmasy!
Both the residents and staff were all interacting and engaged in the festivities.
The best I've seen in this home!
Well done to all who organised and participated making it a great day .
My mother has been in the Beaconsfield Care Home for a full year and my initial impressions of the building and staff being nice have been reaffirmed. The facilities are top notch and the food is excellent, but the main thing about this place is how lovely the staff are lovely, they treat my mother with respect and kindness. I am more than happy with the care given. I cannot recommend it enough.
I feel very comfortable and everyone very friendly. On a smooth/puree type food preparation and is varied in choice.
I'm always made to feel very welcome when I visit, nothing is ever too much to ask.
Cannot fault the home, all going great. No concerns.
Delighted with the way my brother has been welcomed into the Beaconsfield Court Care Home. He settled in much more quickly than I ever thought he would.
My sister is very happy in the home.
My mum has recently moved into Beaconsfield Court Care Home, she has settled straight in. Has even been reunited with a couple of friends. My mum has just spent her first festive holiday there and the home made it so special for each resident. Everyone received a bag full of presents from the manager and staff. We were invited to have Christmas lunch which was beautiful. I feel so happy and content to know my mum is there. Thank you to each and every one.
Great communication, staff know their residents well.
Safe, comfortable and friendly environment.
Food that I’ve seen has been good but there has been a kitchen refit so at times onsite facilities were out of order, though alternatives were brought in on these occasions.
Staff can't do enough for us.
The staff are very good. Love our trips out on the bus for fish and chips.
The staff inform me of any problems, with my parents.
I have settled in really well, Everyone is so kind and friendly. We have all just had a lovely Christmas, a very festive time. The staff have been amazing.
What a fantastic care home. I have been very fortunate to have had connections to this care home for a very long time and I can not fault it. It is always clean and welcoming, the staff are kind and caring, and the manager is fabulous, so approachable and friendly, I have no doubt she is the glue that keeps this wonderful home and staff together and running like a well-oiled machine. I would have no qualms recommending this home to anyone.
Lovely place to live.
I like living here; everyone is so caring and helpful.
I love living here, it's my home. The staff are great. Nothing is too much trouble.
My experience with Beaconsfield Court has been excellent. All staff are so friendly and helpful. The home is a first class home that care for every resident and the relatives and friends. Communication is excellent. From the beginning of enquiring to the move in has been a smooth transition. The manager and deputy manager have been exceptional with easing worries and concerns, very warm and supportive welcome every time. First class home, thank you to each staff member
