Only issues I have with the time my brother spent at Beechwood Care Home, Wishaw, is that several designer clothes, jeans and underpants, that were clearly labelled from the start, went missing, never to return. I did enquire but to no avail. Also, the feet plates for his bespoke wheelchair for the
shower were removed at some point and couldn't be found on the day of leaving which were difficult to source.
Finally, I received a letter for a refund on his account from accounts addressing my late brother (assuming he was dead) which is not the case. Overall experience, not that great.

My sister is very happy and settled in Beechwood, and that is what we hoped for when we chose it when she was no longer able to stay at home. The staff are very friendly and always make us welcome when we visit. Our sister takes part in all the activities, and all resident's achievements are highlighted,
eg, painting, singing, etc. We all have complete faith in the staff.

As a regular visitor, from the moment I enter the front door, I get a sense of a very positive ethos of Beechwood Care Home. All staff are very welcoming and engaging. The entrance and downstairs foyer are spacious, free of clutter, very fresh and very clean. The exact same applies to the first floor.
All staff know my sister and treat her with warmth and kindness, she talks about how kind and friendly they are all the time. They fully understand and meet her needs and ensure her dignity is a priority. Activities are stimulating, varied, lively and fun. Families are kept informed at all times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has settled really well into Beechwood Care Home - all the staff are very caring and attentive to what Mum may need. They encourage and support Mum in getting involved in the day room as well as going to the dining room with all the other residents. Mum always says how happy she is in her new home
which makes us really happy as a family that she is happy and being so well looked after. Mum has needed some additional help with her medical needs as she had breathing issues and fluid retention. The staff have dealt with this well to get Mum the help she needed. I want to call out one member of staff especially, who takes such good care of Mum, she is on top of all her needs and knows how to stimulate Mum. She is very observant and this reassures us that Mum is in safe hands.

My sister moved into Beechwood a month ago. We chose Beechwood because of the welcoming, caring and friendly atmosphere between staff and residents.
Since coming here, my sister has been shown the utmost respect and first-class care.
The staff put the needs of their residents first at all times. Nothing
is any trouble - no matter how busy they are.

We have been very happy with the care my brother has received at Beechwood Care Home. Nothing has been a problem for the manager, nurses and carers when asked to do something. My brother enjoys all the meals and has put his weight on since he went into care. Activities are many and varied. All in all,
we are very pleased.

My Grandmother now resides in this care home which my mother also worked in for many years and there was no hesitation on where my grandmother would be going when the decision had to be made when she needed 24-hour care. I cannot recommend them enough. The management has helped settle my gran settle
into her new home and could not have been more friendly, caring and professional. Also, they have a wide range of activities that they put on for the residents and my grandmother takes part in all of these which is great and very relaxing to know she is enjoying her time within the care home.

My mother-in-law has been in Beechwood care HOme since October 2021. We as a family are delighted with the care she receives and my mother-in-law has developed relationships and strong bonds with staff within the Geroge unit.
The staff within this unit force many challenges daily from service users
and always carry out care needs and support to families like us with high standards. We chose Beechwood as a family and our choice couldn't have been better. The service users' needs and opinions are always considered.

My dad has been in Beechwood since September 2021 and we can honestly say the care he receives is fantastic. The staff are so professional, caring and friendly. They keep us up to date with every aspect of his care and discuss this with us.
The social activities are wonderful and Dad just loves the
food but more importantly loves the staff. We feel that we are part of a larger family and would not hesitate to recommend Beechwood to any other families.

My Mum first moved into Beechwood in September 2019. She had heart issues prior to this and had to be admitted to hospital. After her illness, they nursed her back to health and with their care, she became more mobile and was happier than we had seen her in many years. The staff in the home were very
professional and cared for my mum so well. She is involved in activities on a daily basis in Beechwood and she is clearly very settled and happy there. An ex-nurse myself, I had high expectations and I have not been disappointed. I am confident that we made the right choice for Mum. The staff are kind and helpful. They clearly care about the residents and the Manager in Beltane unit was excellent, and very knowledgeable. I cannot emphasise enough how committed all of the staff appear to be and how much my mind has been at rest throughout the COVID Pandemic at the professionalism and dedication shown. I can't thank the whole team enough.

Review from Kathryn M (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has a number of chronic health conditions. Since moving to Beechwood we have seen a remarkable improvement in both her health and happiness.
When complications set in eight years ago at home, she briefly saw a physiotherapist and attended a consultant nephrologist's clinic for several years
for kidney disease and exhaustingly frequent urinary tract infections. We ultimately accepted that nothing could be done to help her. At Beechwood, though, she's been nigh clear of UTIs and, although she will never be able to walk again, she's been encouraged to take baby steps on a Zimmer. Her mental health, happiness and contentment have improved as well. There is plenty of stimulus through various activities in a peaceful and cheerful environment.
The specialist knowledge and treatment, sensitivity and kindness she is receiving are beyond our high expectations. Nothing is too much trouble at Beechwood. It is very difficult to thank the service manager, nurses and carers enough.

I really can’t praise the staff highly enough. The care they provide is professional yet compassionate. As I live overseas, it is important to me that I have some peace of mind about my mum and I am confident she is well looked after. Since moving into Beechwood, my mum’s health has improved and she
takes an interest in activities and this is mainly due to the wonderful staff. The staff go above and beyond to put the “care” in the care home and my mum is very happy here. Thank you to both the manager and unit manager who lead by example. Your staff are a credit to you. Thank you for all you do.

Mum's care since being admitted has been first class. Every member of staff has treated my mother with care and dignity. The improvement in mum's health and wellbeing has been exceptional. I asked mum if being in this care home was not better than sitting in her own home alone for days at a time and
she replied "definitely". The first-class home with the first-class staff, there is nowhere else where I would want my mother to be.

Mum spent about 3 years in Beechwood up till she was 104 years old, and I was always relieved to know that she was being well looked after by the nursing staff, carers and the personnel employed there. I visited her every 6 weeks sometimes more often, as I live in France.
Mum passed away on the 8th
May 2019 but was treated with dignity and affection during the palliative care which was a great comfort to myself and her family. We are so grateful for all that was done for our mother, grandmother, and great grandmother and thank you all once more. Not only did the personnel take good care of Mum but they also took good care of her visiting family and friends and for this, we will always be grateful. With kind thoughts.

My granda went into Beechwood December 2016. He has had the best standard of care possible. I work as a nurse myself and I could see the dedication and attention my granda got. Sadly he passed away in February this year. Me and my family are forever grateful for the care and especially in the last few
days of his life. Nothing was too much of an ask and always strove to do the best for granda and our family.

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.
