Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came into the care home on April this year. She received a warm welcome from all staff and has settled in extremely well in this short period of time. The staff have been friendly and approachable, which has enabled my mum to feel comfortable. She has participated in some of the activities, including
a bus outing, karaoke and tending to the plants within the courtyard.
So far, the experience has been extremely good, and she seems to be building good relationships with the staff.
Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Beechwood Care Home

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum never wanted to "end up in a care home", however she accepted that it became necessary and she selected Beechwood based on having visited people who had been residents and seen the quality of care provided.
Compassion and Empathy are mixed with humour and warmth from everyone there.
The level
of engagement with their residents is a joy to behold, simple humanity is at the root of everything they do.
The staff do a difficult job but do it to an incredibly high standard, they are a huge credit to the home and make it what it is.
Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Beechwood Care Home

Thank you for sharing this lovely review. We're so glad your mum felt confident in choosing Beechwood, and that you've seen first-hand the warmth, compassion and dedication of the team. It means a lot to know that the care and connection we strive for every day has made such a positive difference. Thank you.

My dad is a new resident to Beechwood. Transfering from a nearby care home. His family are happier that he is in Beechwood. The whole team there are very friendly and engaging, both with my Dad and his family. This is very reassuring for us all. There is always an activity on, an event or trip organised.
He doesn't spend much time in his room but it's more than adequate and much more spacious than his previous home room.
Keep up the good work Beechwood team.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really pleased to hear your dad has settled in well at Beechwood and that you and the family feel reassured and welcomed. We'll make sure to share your lovely feedback with the whole team. Thank you.

My Aunt has been living here since May of 24 and I cannot praise the care she has received from such amazing staff. Having worked in care myself for over 20 years I have never came across a care home that goes above and beyond for all its residents in the way that Beechwood does. From management to
care and domestic staff I cannot fault their person centred approach with all of the residents and love that my aunt has settled into a loving and caring environment. I thank my lucky stars every day that she has been lucky enough to be placed in such a wonderful and caring home.

My Aunt has been living in Beechwood since May 2024, after moving in she settled very quickly in the Sefton unit, where she Ives with other adults with disabilities. I find all the staff excellent as they treat my Aunt with dignity and respect. The range of activities provided are excellent as there
as hardly a day passes without my Aunt going on a day trip or arts and craft class. All the staff are also great with us when we visit always taking the time to chat to give us updates . Overall I can't fault anything at Beechwood care home.

Your review means so much to us, thank you. We put a lot of effort into ensuring our residents have a wide range of meaningful activities in their daily lives and we're delighted to know that your Aunt is able to enjoy all that we have to offer. Thank you.

My mum moved into the care home in October 2024. Staff were extremely welcoming to both my mum and family. They go above and beyond to meet all needs. Staff are friendly and approachable. Care home staff provide a healthy and clean environment which ensures all residents are safe with their dignity
maintained at all times. My mum appears happy and staff always encourage her to maintain her independence when she can. They update family on a regular basis with any change to care needs. Myself and my family are really happy with the level of care my mum receives.

Staff are very caring and responsive to my aunt's needs while encouraging her to be as independent as she can. They have a lovely manner and are extremely patient with her. They have activities most days to make life interesting and she has had experiences she would never have had in her house, e.g.
therapy pets or pantomime, all the while in a safer environment. I love going up to visit as it is such a calm, friendly atmosphere.

Words can't express the care that is given in this home, they give the residents 100%. I couldn't complain about anything, even when my brother passed away they were there for me and my family. If my brother wasn't feeling well they would phone and let you know and tell you that they would phone the
doctor, even when you went to see your relative they would tell you how they were and if you would like to stay in the lounge or go to their room, if so they would take you to their room for you and ask if you would like a drink of tea, coffee or water.

The staff and surroundings are all excellent. It really is a home from home. The residents are treated as one big family and all staff give so much attention, care and love to all. There are plenty of activities both mental and physical which enable the residents to be stimulated.
All furnishings are
immaculately cared for, aiding the comfort of the residents and all needs and care are suited to each resident's particular requirements. The cleanliness of bedroom, en suit etc., is second to none. It is just like a luxury hotel more so, due to all the love that is given.

My mother-in-law recently passed away in the care home and I would just like to say how well she was looked after by all the staff as her health declined. As a family, we asked that she should not be taken to hospital as we wanted her to pass away where she had been really happy and comfortable, her
home. The staff, from the girls and guys in her unit to the management, could not have been more caring to both her and to our family. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to them all.

Would like toilet to be upgraded, a repaint would be nice to freshen up facilities.
Staff are always very helpful in all aspects of care.
Food menu could do with more variety. Acftivities always very good.
Could do with a visit from a GP when required, at the moment, only a photographer being sent
to GP rather than a visit.

I find that the staff and management are very helpful. They can't do enough for you. Nothing seems to be any trouble. My wife can't say enough about them. She likes the food and staff. Before she came here I had to do everything for her, help with the toilet and she would not go outside. So the staff
have turned that around.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved to this care home in January 2024.
She has been treated with care and dignity.
Our family has been treated the same and we were always welcomed into the care home with no restrictions.
At first, we found it really difficult to accept our mother had to go into a care home but with
the help of the staff, we soon settled down and so did our mother.
Staff are friendly and had us in stitches most of the time.
My mother became really ill and thankfully, the staff knew what she wanted (that she didn't want to go into hospital), they acted as her advocate until we got to the home where, a few days later, she peacefully passed away with the dignity and respect she deserved.
Cannot express how happy we were with her care in this nursing home and the staff.

My mother has been recently transferred to this facility from an NHS hospital. It has been a very friendly and welcoming environment for her and she is settling in well. There is a hairdressing facility and lots of weekly activities to take part in. The staff are very caring and attentive and always

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Beechwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.767 for Beechwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 257 Ratings = 4.767
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beechwood Care Home is based on 21 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 21 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.
