The staff are always helpful and I feel I can talk to them about anything concerning mum.
They look after mum well.
Mum enjoys going out and there is plenty of trips out etc.
I regularly visit the home and it is a lovely place with a great atmosphere. All of the staff are very friendly especially the activities coordinator who goes over and above for the residents with new and engaging activities.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the Beaconsfield. Both the staff and facilities are excellent.
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.
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.
Very caring people. Good food and trips out.
Residents always seem well cared for. Staff are very good and always helpful.
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.
Residents seem to be content and well cared for. Staff are helpful and friendly.
They are taken out on occasions and entertained in the home.
I am well looked after.
The girld are all kind and good.
The care home is run very well and my mother is looked after to a high standard. The girls are very caring and look to mother's needs very well.
The staff here look after me very well. The food is good and I am happy here.
Warm and friendly atmosphere, welcoming and homely. Attentive and caring staff who show genuine concern for all residents and their wellbeing. Staff are co-operative and communicate effectively with other health professionals in the best interests of residents.
Lunches could be a little more seasonal, e.g. warm sweets in the winter time.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review and for your valuable feedback. At HC-One we change our menus twice a year in line with the seasons and following feedback we receive from our Residents. We will continue to review the menus we offer on a regular basis to respond to our Residents' choices which will include warm desserts in winter.
A well-maintained home.
I am so happy my mam is being cared for here. Such a friendly team, nothing is a bother. Very clean home.
Very pleasant home. Always made welcome. My aunt is very well looked after.
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 :).
