My grandma lives in this home, and the service is outstanding. Staff are friendly and helpful, always cheery and welcoming. The home manager is a star and will help with anything. Home clean and tidy and always activities going on throughout the months.
The home has helped my dad settle in really well. They give outstanding care, nothing is a bother for them. Everyone is so friendly and kind. The home is really clean and tidy
This care home is a friendly and caring place. Everyone is made so welcome. Very clean and everyone looks so comfortable. Excellent home.
Lovely clean home. Very friendly staff. Good range of activities and trips out. All residents including my dad look very happy and comfortable. Would highly recommend this home.
My grandma is so well looked after. Everyone from the manager down goes above and beyond. The home is lovely and clean. Friendly atmosphere.
My grandad has settled in really well. As a family, we were very worried about taking the step of grandad moving into a care home. The whole team at Beaconsfield put our minds at rest and looked after the whole family. Can't thank them enough.
The time came where I had to look for a home for mam, this was a very stressful time. Beaconsfield helped me with this process and were honest throughout. The place is a home from home, staff so friendly. My mam has settled in so well. I cannot thank the manager and her staff enough for helping us through this difficult time.
My father lived in the Beaconsfield for over six years, throughout that time he was supported with care, patience, acceptance and so warmly with deep affection. His needs were very complex and challenging, but the staff unwaveringly responded with sensitivity and always filled with respect and empathy. The dignity, gentle guidance and professional boundaries shown towards him and his family at the end of his life were beautiful and supportive in every way.
I feel so at home. Staff are so caring.
Would highly recommend.
I am satisfied my mother is getting top care.
On our most recent visit, it was an open day. We were made most welcome by the manager and all the staff, the atmosphere was warm and friendly and everyone was looking forward to the entertainment arranged by the activities coordinator. Visits by the minis and therapy dog were lovely to see and brought many a smile. Cakes, tombola and raffle with many lovely prizes and a singer for the afternoon with a visit from the Mayor. Had a lovely day and it was great to see the care that went into making it a special day for all.
Helpful, can't do enough to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for. Very impressed.
My father in law has been provided with the most caring and friendly support you could ask for. Nothing is too much trouble.
Home is excellent, clean. Staff are kind, caring and extremely helpful. The home manager is a credit to the company, has been open, caring, very transparent as regarding my Dad's condition and how they are caring for him. Extremely happy with the care home and would recommend it to anyone who required it.
Perfect.
I enjoy living here.
Care and conditions are very good. Staff are very friendly and care for individual needs. Everyone appears happy.
A warm and very welcoming home. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. Always lovely smell of food. The Christmas event was very busy and well organised.
Beaconsfield is, in my experience, a warm welcoming care home. It's always positive and cheerful.
