The priority of the home is to provide the very best care in a setting that promotes comfort, security and peace of mind.
Beechvale provides a tranquil environment to care for you or your loved ones. Beechvale’s success is built on its widespread reputation as being a good and caring home.
In 2016, the home was beautifully refurbished and extended in a tasteful and homely manner, furnished with the latest equipment and aids to make life as easy and comfortable for its 50 residents.
Beechvale is perceived as having all the ingredients which contribute to an atmosphere of being a ‘home from home’, something which is not just confined to the building but the interaction of residents, staff, visitors, doctors and the local community.

Beechvale care home is a welcome, friendly and caring establishment. The staff are all very attentive and carry out their duties in an organised manner. There are a variety of activities organised by a retired teacher. She engages with all the residents and is extremely popular. A good variety of food is served and prepared by the kitchen staff. Overall the home portrays a caring ethos and I would highly recommend it.

My mother became a resident of Beechvale Nursing Home in November 2014 after a very unsatisfactory stay at another nursing home. I was so relieved to find a home which took real care of mum and I felt she was safe. Beechvale were always co-operative with any concerns and as I visited daily I witness excellent care to mum and all the other residents. In addition Beechvale has a comfortable homely feel.

The care, support and thoughtfulness, as well as nursing/care expertise was of an excellent standard. I live in England, but even so Beechvale contacted me each time there was a question or a problem or a piece of information (about my Aunt) to be discussed. We always know whether we could rest assured or we needed to get on a plane. My Aunt, an extremely independently minded person (and is not easy) was stimulated and helped and respected.
