Overall Experience

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.

Review from Lisa P (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 11 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My nanna was only in The Beeches for 5 short days until she passed away, however she received the best care from every member of staff!
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.

Reply from Sandi Mason, Home Manager at The Beeches Nursing and Residential Care Home

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.

Review from M N (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Barbara P (Friend of Resident) published on 4 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Sheila B (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

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.
