  • The Beeches Residential Care Home, Birmingham
The team at The Beeches, many of whom have been with the home for years, are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents and empowering them to have an active role to play in how their home is run.

Providing residential, dementia and respite care, the team are proud to involve the residents and their loved ones in every aspect of life at the home. There are resident and family ambassadors, who get involved in everything from taking part in staff interviews to providing feedback on everything from the menus to the activities.

Food is a highlight of the day for many residents – and the chef is an award-winning baker with a passion for cakes! The food is very much shaped by the residents and there is a mixture of traditional dishes, like roasts with all the trimmings, to flavours from around the world if the residents would like to try them – including Caribbean, Greek and Indian.

There are so many activities to enjoy, from pampering in the salon, cheese and wine evenings and live entertainment, to gentle exercise and gardening in the home’s vegetable patch.

The team embrace the community into the home, with visiting students and community volunteers.

The Beeches also has a namaste room, a cinema room and a café, where residents can relax with friends and family, who are welcome at any time, over tea and homemade cake.

The home also has a Magic Table, an amazing piece of technology designed for people living with dementia, where residents can play interactive light games together.

The gardens are a beautiful spot to relax in, with raised planters and wheelchair friendly pathways. Some of the bedrooms, which are all ensuite, have patio access to the gardens.

Review from Roger C (Cousin of Resident) published on 19 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My cousin initially stayed at The Beeches Care Home for a period of Respite care during which he was so content and felt secure he decided to stay full-time rather than move into his own apartment.
Prior to the Covid-19 situation and since I can only express my gratitude and admiration to every member
of staff at Beeches Care Home for looking after all of the residents as if they were their own family members.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at The Beeches Residential Care Home

Thank you for such lovely words about our home and team; it is wonderful to hear how content your cousin is with us and I'm sure the staff and his fellow residents are glad he decided to stay. Best wishes.

Review from Jillian J (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was widowed in 2016 and coped on her own until August 2018 when she fell and had to go into hospital. She realised then that she could not live on her own and myself and my brother set about looking at care homes. We viewed several and decided on The Beeches in Northfield. This was indeed
a very good decision for us as my dear 97-year-old mum settled in very well when she moved there in October 2018. The rooms are roomy with excellent facilities, we were able to take in pictures for her room and items that reminded her of events in her life. The rooms are kept clean and tidy and the laundry is always up to a great standard. She enjoys the food and the entertainment which is arranged. The staff are just wonderful and show great empathy with the residents who mostly are in different stages of dementia. I have always felt that kindness will win the race and the carers, staff and management show great kindness to all their residents.

Unfortunately, Dad has had to leave The Beeches due to a reduction in his mobility as the home cannot provide full nursing care. This is a great shame as he was very happy there and received excellent care for the 18 months spent with them. The staff are all very dedicated and caring. They were really
sorry that he had to move out.
Facilities are good and should Dad's mobility improve in the future we will be looking to bring him back.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at The Beeches Residential Care Home

Thank you for such kind words about our home and team. I am sorry to hear of his advancing care needs, I am sure the team will all really miss him and hope to see him soon! I will be sure to pass this onto them, they will really appreciate it. Best wishes, Fae.

Staff very approachable - always willing to listen. Food excellent, my Mom has put on weight in 5 weeks she has been a resident. Manager very helpful - spent time sourcing a profiling bed and pressure-relieving mattress to match what my Mom had in her home. Residents coffee morning useful to obtain
resident's feedback and to discuss the running of the home.

I recently had the Christmas dinner with my brother. The staff were kept very busy but the excellent way they treated everyone was great to observe. Each person was treated and served with their own individual meals. The food was beautifully cooked and tastefully presented.

Dad's care is first class. The carers are excellent, always friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Yesterday his sister and I joined in the Christmas lunch put on for residents and families. Full 3-course lunch with all trimmings up to and probably better than restaurant standard. Well
done to Head chef and his staff. Carers ate with residents and guests as well as acting as waiters/waitresses. So well organised. Couldn't fault anything. Dad, we and all other residents really enjoyed it. Thanks to all involved.

Overall I feel my aunt is well looked after which is reflected in the review marks.
My aunt regularly says that she wishes there were more activities. My review of satisfactory is no reflection on what is provided.
I have noted dirty skirting boards in the room which I have cleaned myself - hence
again only satisfactory.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt moved into The Beeches following the death of her husband of 69 years and was understandably feeling quite concerned about the move. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive right from the moment she arrived. The standard of care, help and understanding shown to her was exemplary. Shortly before
she passed away, she had a spell in hospital where she referred to The Beeches as her home - and, thankfully, she was able to return there where everyone went an extra mile to make her last days peaceful and comfortable. I cannot thank the staff enough for the way they cared for her and looked after her during the two months she was at The Beeches.

Dear Susan, thank you so much for your kind words about The Beeches. Whilst I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your Aunt, it is reassuring to hear how well she was treated whilst with us and even as you say, referring to The Beeches as home. I will be sure to pass this onto the team. Best wishes,

I am sorry to say, my mother who was a resident for some 7 weeks, has passed away from her illness.
The home was fantastic from day one up until her last seconds. The care and dignity that all staff provided were second to none. Mom passed away and I'm glad I was present during her last hour. Thank
you Beeches Care Home carers, cleaners, kitchen staff and management.

The home is a very friendly, happy home. Always clean and fresh smelling. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Always a choice on the meal menu and tea, coffee and cake is available in the cafe area for visitors. Mom has been here two years now and likes and enjoys being here.
She is looked after very well and all her needs are met.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.543)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.543) out of 10 for The Beeches Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.543 for The Beeches Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (16 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.543
  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 The Beeches Residential Care Home is based on 28 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 28 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.

Francesca Lile

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2017

I began my career in care as an activities coordinator, discovering the joy of bringing happiness and purpose to residents.


Later, as a care assistant, I had the privilege of ensuring residents received tailored care informed by their unique histories and needs.


In my senior care roles, I embraced a person-centred approach, treating residents like extended family. I believe in truly knowing each individual, and helping them to live fulfilling lives.


Becoming a mother deepened my empathy for families, teaching me to address even small concerns with compassion and care. I always strive to view situations through the lens of how I would want my own loved ones treated.


Now, as Home Manager at The Beeches, I bring years of experience and a passion for creating a vibrant, welcoming environment where residents, their families, and staff feel valued and supported.


I am proud of Sanctuary Care’s ethos of enriching lives, and fostering a safe, nurturing home with engaging, personalised experiences that help every resident thrive.
