Review from Ann H (Cousin of Resident) published on 16 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My cousin had only been in the home 4/5 weeks so it was a very basic review. Mainly concerned with who he was and likes and needs. The social worker was not the one that I had met before or arranged the placement. She was pleasant. Nurse I had met before and found helpful and interested.

Dear Ann, thank you for your review, we are glad that your relatives needs, likes and dislikes are being met.

Review from Blythe K (Niece of Resident) published on 10 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was taken to Beechwood Care Home for emergency respite care initially for two weeks as her carer was taken to the hospital and subsequently passed away. We found every member of staff and particularly the manager and the staff nurse sympathetic, caring and very committed to those in their care.
Despite the trauma of leaving her home of 72 years very unexpectantly, my aunt has been so welcomed and looked after which helped her and the whole family enormously. The home is clean, rooms lovely, and there is always plenty going on to interest and stimulate. Every resident we met seems happy and the place is very well staffed and managed. My aunt is desperate to stay.

Dear Blythe, thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, we are so pleased to hear your aunt is enjoying Beechwood.

Beechwood staff and premises are generally, and have been excellent with my grandmother over the past year she has been a resident. Thankfully, she has also adapted well to this latest phase in her life and I'm very grateful to staff for this.

I would be glad to recommend this home as it friendly, clean, good atmosphere and carers are very attentive to the residents. I visit my husband twice a day everyday - 7 days a week and I have always found him sitting clean and well dressed. Any concerns I have , I am kept well informed by the nurses
and I am comfortable leaving him in safe hands, any concerns after I have left, staff will contact me.

Review from Ada H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 22 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Beechwood go to great lengths to make my Mother in Law feel at home, comfortable and cared for. They take time with her and we feel assured that she is being given the care and attention that we are unable to give 24 hours a day. Her health has improved since moving to Beechwood last July,
she enjoys the daily activities, the hairdresser and manicures being a favourite. The staff are marvellous when she needs re assurance and we couldn't ask for a more caring group.


We are kept well informed of anything which may effect her health or wellbeing, she has had to go to hospital twice and staff went with her and stayed with her till we could get there, again very much appreciated. Everything is done to keep confusion at a minimum and I feel that the residents really are cared for.


I have every praise for the Manager and every member of staff. Keep up the good work, I don't know what we'd do without you.

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.
