Beechwood House is a very friendly care home with an excellent manager & staff, we were very happy for my mother to stay there, nothing is to much trouble. Initially we were looking for her to stay there short term but we are so happy with what we have seen that we have decided to prolong her stay there.

Although my sister was only at the home for a short time for palliative care, I found them to be caring, considerate and also efficient. I would've been quite happy for her to remain there longer had that been the case.

Barrington Lodge Nursing Home

from C J (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 December 2021

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

I'm not sure where to start but my father was admitted for end of life care in early August after a stay in a hospice. I myself work in a care home so I tried not to judge too much on first impressions but unfortunately upon my first visit my father was in an extremely small room with peeling wallpaper,
a bed that did not work, a room door with a broken handle and nail clippings and hair on the floor from a previous resident and a soiled pad in the drawers. I can only say that had I been able to view the home I absolutely would have not allowed my father to be admitted to Barrington Lodge. My father changed rooms three times and all of those rooms had issues, falls my father had were not reported to me.
I could say much more but recalling how my father ended his life there, it is too upsetting. The manager is semi part-time and never there.
I am dumbfounded by the CQC Good rating as Barrington Lodge 100 per cent has many serious issues.

Reply from Manager, Manager at Barrington Lodge Nursing Home

Maintenance staff was off sick due to COVID-19 and was unable to complete all refurbishing work. However, the placement team were informed about the nature of the room and due to the urgency to move the client out of the hospice admission was agreed. Once another room became available the client was moved. If the family were unhappy with the choice of placement, they had the option to move the client into another care home. However, they created an unpleasant atmosphere for our staff on each visit. On one occasion, CJ made an unacceptable comment stating that our employees are all foreign and can’t speak proper English. As an employer, we have an equal opportunity policy and this was communicated to the family and was followed by an apology by C.J. The client's family chooses to visit outside my office hour which are after 6pm and weekends.

Barrington Lodge informed us they had two centres with many rooms available and specialised in end of life care. On arrival, my father was placed in a tiny room. The manager assured the family our father would be moved within two weeks as residents can be moved around to accommodate. Almost three months
later our father is still resident in a box room with a broken hospital bed, a door that can only stay open with a chair obstructing, a bell that is rarely in reach of our father and doesn't register to his room, and a small table that is lopsided, causing spillages and is rarely in our fathers reach. There are no facilities for my father, we have placed a TV in his room but it is only turned on when we visit and the controls are never in his reach when we arrive. The room and floor are always sticky. Staff are unaware of our father's needs and do not assist with his food or drink. There are many other issues management does not address. The overall standard in our case is extremely poor but maybe not yours.

Reply from Melvin Pavaday, Deputy Manager at Barrington Lodge Nursing Home

I am extremely disheartened that you felt the need to write this review. This review is not a direct representation of how we conduct ourselves at Barrington Lodge. As you are aware the issues all stemmed from the council placing your father at Barrington Lodge in the only room available at the time. This was clearly dictated to the council prior to placement much to your dissatisfaction. We tried our hardest to be as accommodating as possible, offering a potential room switch if one became available (which it never did). On numerous occasions, I asked you if you were having any issues, to which you only replied about the current room size. There was no mention of care standards. It is quite upsetting that this review was written when we have an open-door management policy here at Barrington Lodge, any issues that do arise are dealt with by myself or our Registered Manager. I wish you all the best.

My mother stayed at Beechwood for three weeks on respite.
I picked mum up for her return home and was extremely impressed on the overall improvement on mum's speech, mobility and mood.
I spoke with three staff members who all seemed to have a genuine fondness and a good rapport with Mum, which seemed
reciprocal from mum.
Speaking to the manager on the phone was very assuring. The whole respite experience for Mum was very positive. Mum has returned home in an improved state of health and well being, so I must conclude that mum's stay at Beechwood was a very positive one.

Some members of staff are always approachable, others aren't. If a problem, once mentioned to manager, problem dealt with immediately. Laundry to be desired. Clothes muddled and whites end up pink or grey.
