The care my mum is getting is wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff.
My mother is very happy at Beaconsfield Court and this is 100% due to the amazing, caring and dedicated staff. During the pandemic, every caution was taken as required but every effort was also made to ensure the residents and their families remained in close contact. An absolutely first-class experience for all of our family.
Beaconsfield Court is a care home outstanding above all others. This last year has been so hard with the ongoing pandemic, but they have put everyone at ease. Communicating with relatives constantly, so we know our loved ones are well looked after. My mam absolutely loves living there; the staff give amazing care; they are all superheroes in our minds. As a family, we can't thank them enough for the care they give our beloved Mam. Thank you to the amazing team there.
Beaconsfield Court has been a safe haven for my mam. They have kept her safe during this horrible pandemic. Most of all they have kept her happy and content. The staff are outstanding. The communication with us as a family has been excellent. We have been able to visit mam in the visiting pod. We have regular video calls. The management keeps us updated at all times. We can not praise the home enough. Amazing team.
Beaconsfield has been so welcoming to my mam, this has been a difficult year, and they have made the process as painless as possible. The communication is excellent; I speak to my mam daily. My mam is looked after so well, and the staff are so friendly.
Dad moved into the home a few weeks ago and despite our initial worries about care homes in general during these uncertain times, he is doing great and the home is great! He had to isolate to start with but we could talk to him on the phone or FaceTime with him anytime and the staff kept us up to date with how he was doing too. We managed to do a window visit this week which was lovely. He has made himself right at home, making new friends with both the other residents and the staff team and he even took part in a Zoom exercise class this week (don't think he's ever done an exercise class in his life!). All initial worries are now gone. Can't thank the team at Beaconsfield Court enough for all they have done and are continuing to do.
Can't recommend Beaconsfield enough. Although my grandad was admitted during under the current lockdown restrictions and we can't visit him in person, we are kept well up to date by all the staff we speak too. He has settled in well and we can facetime with him any time we like which is great. The staff have gone out of their way to make sure he is happy, and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.
My grandad has had a brief stay at this home, the staff were absolutely fantastic with him and with us as a very anxious family. They kept us up to date with everything. These last few months have been very worrying with the pandemic, the staff put us all at ease and gave fantastic care. We can not thank them enough. Will definitely be recommending this home. Well done all!
Over these last few months, it has been a very worrying time for everyone. Especially when you have a loved one in a care home. I have got to say that Beaconsfield Court has been fantastic over this time. Constantly staying in contact with the family, letting us video call my grandad and doing window visits, nothing has been a trouble for them. They have continued with the outstanding care they provide to each resident. I applaud every single staff member as they have been fantastic throughout all of this. As a family, we can not thank them enough for keeping our precious grandad safe and happy. We are eternally grateful to everyone. Massive well done to the manager and her team.
My brother is cared for at Beaconsfield Court. The staff are fantastic, and they deserve recognition for the hard work they give day in day out. There is always something going on. Families are cared for extremely well. I couldn't ask for better care.
On visiting my relative in this care home, I found it to be very welcoming. The staff are fantastic and go out of their way to help. The home is lovely and clean, and I would highly recommend this home to others.
My grandad has been in this home for some time now. He says it's the best home he could have, everyone is so friendly and caring. There are many trips that he enjoys going on. The home is always so clean, tidy and nice smelling. I enjoy visiting and take my children with me as we always have fun visits. Every staff member makes everyone feel so comfortable and happy during their visits. Grandad says it's the best food he has had, even putting on weight which is amazing for him. We could not have chosen a better home. Outstanding care at all times. I wish to thank every single staff member at the fantastic care that is given to those who live there but also to all the visitors.
I moved into Beaconsfield Court around 3 years ago. The staff have been fantastic, they can't do enough for you. My room is ideal and have decorated how I want. The home is spotless. The staff are helping me fulfil my wishes. The food is amazing. It is a fantastic home to live in.
My mother has been a resident at the Beaconsfield for over 3 years. Prior to admission Mother was very isolated, withdrawn and in poor health. Since admission Mother has improved immensely she is now socially active she loves the activities and her improvement in health is a real testament to the staff and the care they provide. The home is always clean, friendly atmosphere and very welcoming. The food is outstanding and always very presentable.
My friend got invited into this home to spend Christmas day with them as she had no one, what an absolutely wonderful idea. The home does this every year so no one is alone. All the staff make everyone feel so welcome and spoil them. Everyone had a wonderful time. The home is beautifully clean, staff are outstanding with their care. I can not recommend this home enough. Keep up the fantastic work you do. An absolute credit to our community.
I enjoy visiting my grandad as everyone is so friendly and helpful. The home is very clean and tidy. Everyone looks like they are so happy there. Always some activities ongoing. Fantastic home.
The Beaconsfield Court Care Home looked after my mother for 5 1/2 years. During that time I can honestly say she received everything she needed. The staff treated her with great affection and dignity. The home is the nearest thing you could get to what you could call family. Everyone from the manager to throughout the entire staff made you feel welcome and valued. A real care home.
My wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer in June 2019. After caring at home we took the decision to admit her to the Beaconsfield Court Care Home and I have to say the home is outstanding. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff especially the deputy manager whose knowledge is impeccable. The care my wife receives is outstanding, the meals are 5 star and we as a family are always welcome to have lunch with my wife. I would recommend this home to anyone as we can sleep at night knowing my wife is looked after by brilliant staff who always keep us involved with her care. There is always something going on. Trips out, in house entertainment which the staff are always fully involved. I am so happy we made the decision for my wife to be cared for by such amazing people. Thank you.
Outstanding care in a homely environment. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, I can’t recommend this place enough.
Great home with friendly welcoming staff where nothing is too much trouble. Very caring and clean and everyone looks well cared for.
