My mother, who had been in The Beeches Care Home for over two years, recently passed away. Throughout her time there, in residential and nursing care, it was always excellent. The staff there always displayed a professional approach to her care combined with sincerity and kindness. I was never in doubt that my mother was well cared for in her last few years.

Not only did they care around the clock for her but they also seen to us all as a family offering support and plenty of cups of tea. My dad even had meals from the staff. They all went above and beyond and my nanna would have been so proud to pass away in her home town with amazing staff.
We as a family can not thank you all enough.
It was an absolute pleasure to ensure you were all cared for in the most difficult time. We are pleased to have offered the best care and support for your nanna and the extended family.

The staff were excellent, they went over and above. We were so happy with the way the staff looked after my Dad. They treated him like he was their own father. They were all very hard-working. The staff sat with him when the family were not there, they have gone over and above. They were patient and caring, had compassion, calm under pressure. They were organized and had respect, reliability and a passion for supporting people. I would recommend this care home. Thank you for everything you’ve done for my dad.

Absolutely amazing staff! Great food is offered to the residents, very clean and very hospitable! They have gone over and beyond for my grandma and I couldn’t have asked for a better home to put her in! Would pick it 100 times over!

Thank you for such a lovely review, it's a pleasure to look after her.
The staff are lovely, give great care and are very patient. The home and grounds are looking a bit tired.

Thanks for your kind words and we take on board what you are saying. We are in the process of decorating at the moment.
I am currently a temporary resident here until I find care accommodation of my own. My care here is really good. The staff here are all wonderful. I'll be sad when I leave.

I visit a friend every week - she is pleased to be a resident. The staff/management are very good and caring and try to accommodate each of the resident's needs. Each resident is different ie; bad legs, arms, dementia etc, but they are all treated as an individual and looked after appropriately....
I visit a friend every week - she is pleased to be a resident. The staff/management are very good and caring and try to accommodate each of the resident's needs. Each resident is different ie; bad legs, arms, dementia etc, but they are all treated as an individual and looked after appropriately. The staff sit and talk to the residents. They have some form of activity every day - bingo, card making, quizzes, singing and music, hairdressing also guinea pigs, hens, rabbits and birds to groom and interact with. There is plenty of food and personal hygiene is always a priority. Everywhere is clean and smelling nice.

My mother has been a resident at The Beeches Care Home for 4 and a half years, from the outset she settled into the home. I attribute this primarily to the care staff who were and still are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. The care home is clean, well decorated, well heated and the rooms clean and tidy. There are regular activities and some outings for those residents able to participate. Having us act on behalf of my mother who is now unable to do so for herself, I have found the care staff and manageress always very approachable, professional and friendly. Sometimes there are mix ups with residents clothing which needs to be resolved.
