I visited the home during their Christmas Fayre and was very impressed with the work everyone put in. The Santa's Grotto was beautiful and my granddaughter loved it. The staff were all amazing and a good time was had by all.

Beaconsfield Court Care Home, Barnard Castle - I can't recommend them enough. Management, carers and all staff give excellent care, love and support to my mother. In times of illness and stability with my elderly mother - they are a constant.
Christmas Winter Fayre held yesterday was outstanding -
with manager and staff going the extra mile.
Lovely homely put professional attitude in the home. Manager and seniors, all very approachable.

As a family, we are extremely grateful for the love and care shown to a much-loved husband, dad and grandad and support for us. The manager and staff are fantastic (it's the little things that count). We must also thank the activity manager for everything that is continuing to be done. You make such
a difference. Although there are communication difficulties, we know that our relative is very happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my Dad has been staying in the Beaconsfield I have only praise for every aspect of his care. He was incredibly reluctant to go into a care home but unfortunately as his health failed it was inevitable. All the staff made this transition bearable for him. They are always cheerful, caring and very
attentive to his every need.

Found staff to be very caring and made the place seem very homely.
Lunches could be a little more seasonal, e.g. warm sweets in the winter time.

When visiting my nana I am very pleased with how certain staff are with her, more now than when she first came into the home. Certain new staff involve my nana and keep her occupied with stuff she enjoys. It is lovely and settling for me to see :).

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for Beaconsfield Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.905 for Beaconsfield Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.905
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beaconsfield Court Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 7 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.
