Review from Julia B (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Thank you to the unit manager and her Beech House Team .
My Mum was a resident in Beech House ,Shawside for 13 years .She suffered from dementia and gradually lost her mobility however she found an extended family within Beech House who cared diligently for our Mum .
Any issues were promptly dealt
with and our Mums personal likes for music and puddings were well known and catered for .
Beech House was our Mums home for the last 13 years of her life and in her last week I found the care and attention she received overwhelming.
I look back on the partnership of care and realise that we had to trust in the unit manager and the high standards she set . Her team delivered a safe ,joyful environment giving our Mum the freedom to express herself especially in song !
As our relationship has finally drawn to a close I will always hold the Beech House team in a special place in my heart .
Reply from Kelly Dean, Home Manager at Beech HouseYour mum was a very special part of the Beech House family for many years, and it was an honour to support her throughout her time with us, knowing that she felt at home. We are especially touched by your kind words about our partnership of care and the trust you placed in the team-Thank you for allowing us to be part of your mum's journey.

Dad has been here a couple of years now & all continues to be good. Staff are mainly good & pleasant and helpful apart from when occasionally agency staff are used due to staff shortages and they may not know dad's character. Overall good.

Review from Gillian T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would 100% recommend Beech House at Shawside Care Home. My mum in law has been a resident for 2 years and she has been really well looked after and always seemed happy and content and appreciates the connections she has made with the staff. They are very invested in the wellbeing and happiness of
the residents and keep a close eye on them. We have always felt she is safe in their care. The Manager is really efficient and always keeps us updated if there is anything to discuss or share with us. Tilly is a joy and asset to Beech House and we have really appreciated her kind and gentle manner. All of the staff work hard and are constantly on the go meeting the residents needs.
Reply from Yvonne Burutsa, General Manager Shawside at Beech HouseThank you for your kind review. Providing the best possible care is always at the heart of our service, and we strive to make our home a warm and welcoming place that truly feels like home. The wellbeing of our residents is, and always will be, our top priority. Once again we very much appreciate your review. Thank you

Review from John G (Husband of Resident) published on 15 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since arriving at ShawSide my wife settled in quite quickly. She is content and calm. Her quality of life has improved and the care and attention from all members of staff have been one of the main reasons, she seems happy with her surroundings. I was told by two sets of neighbours who in the past had
been residents of ShawSide that my wife would be content and feel safe and this has been the case. The staff give their all in looking after the residents. Thank you.

During the three years that my wife was resident at Shaw Side the care and consideration given to her were exceptional. On my almost daily visits I was impressed with the care of her personal life, wellbeing and contentment. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

My mum until very recently was a resident of Shaw Side, from going into the home Mum was made to feel very welcome. The management team at Beech House is amazing nothing is too much trouble and the staff are all exceptional they work so hard and are a pleasure to be around when visiting. Mum got all
the care and attention she needed all day every day. Would definitely recommend Beech House to any family considering care.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.100)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.100) out of 10 for Beech House 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 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 Beech House is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beech House is based on 5 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.833
  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.
