A gentle, caring approach to a difficult task by pleasant staff and management who are always attentive and welcoming to visitors and visiting medical personnel. Endless patience, feeding, and assisting the people in their care. The premises are modern and very well kept, cleaning and tidiness are being constantly attended to. The premises are kept at the correct temperature and where individuals are bedridden, they are monitored for the correct amount covering and shaded from constant direct sunlight as required. Access is good and visitors sign in and out and admin staff attend to visitors keeping relatives updated on the progress of any ailments.
The staff are friendly and helpful. Décor very pleasing in the home and the garden looks better.
I visit the care home on a regular basis and find the staff helpful and caring. It takes a special kind of person to care for the elderly and I feel The Beaconsfield Court Care Home has a lot of staff with this ability.
When asked if he had anything else to say about living here, my friend stated no.
Great - looked after Father for three years. Always there for help, care and support in the last week of life. Thank you.
The Beaconsfield Court Care Home has been recently refurbished and is lovely. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this home to anyone.
Bedrooms a little small for people using electric wheelchairs. The rooms were clean and tidy. Care overall was very good although help with showers and baths was a little wanting. The food was very good. Entertainment very good. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Overall very good.

As a home I feel comfortable. I feel reassured with the nurse call system, it is always answered well. everybody is cheerful and helpful. The home is very clean, the laundry is terrific.
I was visiting my friend of over 20 years and your home was so so welcoming. Your staff made me feel very welcome and my friend looks so cared for and looked after. It was so much for his wife to cope with and we all know he is now in a better place for his disability.
I am satisfied with the care my wife is receiving at present!
My wife lives here and I am very pleased with the care she is given.
Fantastic atmosphere, scrabble and skittles were being played while I was there. Staff were very polite and very friendly.
Lovely staff, lovely home, just lovely.
My cousin has had a lovely stay here and the staff and other residents are just great. Food is always very tasty and in always offered something to eat or drink when I visit. Staff are very happy and helpful.
I have settled in well. The staff are lovely and treat me with respect. The meals are nice, I don't like gravy and the staff make sure my meal does not have it on. Overall everything is excellent.
My mother was a resident of the above care home for approx 4 1/2 years. (Died end of March) During this period her care was very good, her room was always clean and tidy. The food was excellent, plenty of variety. Entertainment was good, trips out in the minibus and many live entertainers. All the staff were caring and supportive. Security arrangements were very good.
The care is good, I enjoy the activities, meals are lovely - good choice. I am happy here.
