Beechcroft Residential Home is a boutique care home founded on the principle that every resident deserves the same level of care, kindness, and respect that one would provide for their own family members. The dedicated staff take pride in fostering an environment that feels like an extended family, where residents are not just cared for but truly valued.

At Beechcroft, most residents maintain a degree of independence but benefit from the warmth and reassurance of 24-hour support. The home’s small size allows for a close-knit, friendly atmosphere where residents form meaningful relationships with both carers and each other. It’s a place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and a sense of community thrives.

Residents are encouraged to participate in daily activities, enjoy nutritious meals, rest comfortably, and maintain connections with their loved ones. The home’s focus is on rekindling a zest for life, ensuring that each resident’s individual needs and preferences are always met with personal attention.

Beechwood has strong connections with the local community, welcoming regular visits from the nearby nursery and monthly visits from the vicar.

Beechcroft offers both long-term residential care and flexible day-care options. Day-care guests are welcome to join for the day and return home in the evening, while shorter visits for a few hours are available for those who wish to enjoy the home’s warm and welcoming atmosphere, whether for a cup of tea, a relaxing bath, or participation in daily activities.

The home is proud to be a winner of the Top 20 Care Homes in South West England Award 2025.

My mum has been at Beechcroft Residential Home for nearly two years and I thought it would be nice to give a review.
I cannot say enough in a positive way about Beechcroft. I couldn't be any happier about the way my mum is being cared for. Her room is lovely and the whole atmosphere of the care home
is superb, nothing flashy just a personal, homely, caring home. The kitchen staff produce lovely meals, the entertainment provided is thoughtful but the most important thing is their staff, all of those who I've had the pleasure of meeting, they are open and transparent, even when I've asked personal questions regarding my mum, it is met with honesty and care. I would, if I can, say a special thank you to all of them, it means so much.

Reply from Claire McMahon McMahon, Area Manager at Beechcroft Residential Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We're truly touched by your kind words and so pleased to hear how happy you are with the care your mum receives at Beechcroft. Providing a personal, homely and caring environment is at the heart of what we do and it's wonderful to know this has made such a positive difference for your mum and your family. It's great to hear that you value the meals from our kitchen staff, the thoughtful entertainment and, most importantly, the dedication of our team. We strive to be open, transparent and compassionate in all that we do and your recognition of this means the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and your special thanks to the staff will certainly be passed on. It truly means so much to us!

Mum has been at Beechcroft Residential Home now for nearly eighteen months. She's very happy and settled, she enjoys the company of all the staff and the residents. She particularly likes the delicious homemade food and lashings of custard on all her puddings. She likes to join in the activities and
very much enjoys the musical entertainment. She also likes to play her keyboard for afternoon entertainment in the sitting room for everyone to enjoy. It is a very welcoming, homely care home with smiley faces welcoming you on arrival. The garden area is very much a bonus, as it gives a chance of a bit of outside exercise and a place to enjoy the summer sunshine. I can't recommend it too highly.

Reply from Claire McMahon McMahon, Area Manager at Beechcroft Residential Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how much your mum enjoys her time at Beechcroft Residential Home and that she feels happy and settled. It's heartwarming to know she appreciates the homemade food (and plenty of custard!) and enjoys the activities and musical entertainment, especially sharing her keyboard talents with everyone! It means the world to know you and Mum are happy.

My mum and I decided she needed extra support with daily life. After looking at a few residential homes, we decided on Beechcroft Residential Home. First impressions were lovely and friendly, like a home from home, so Mum moved in and settled really well. She really enjoyed the company and the activities,
games and crafts. She loved the variety of lovely food and staff would always make her favourite milky coffee for her! Would highly recommend.

Our grandmother stayed at Beechcroft Residential Home from December to September and very sadly passed away two days ago. I cannot express how happy we were with her care during her final months and the compassion and kindness shown not only to her but also to us during the last few very painful days.

Reply from Claire McMahon McMahon, Area Manager at Beechcroft Residential Home

Thank you for your kind words during such a difficult time. It was truly a privilege to care for your grandmother during her final months and we are deeply touched that you felt supported by our team. The bond we form with our residents and their families means so much to us and we are grateful that we could offer compassion and care when it was needed most. Please know that our thoughts are with you and if there's anything more we can do for you, we are here. Claire and the team at Beechcroft.

My mum started coming to Beechcroft Residential Home as a weekly visitor when she lived alone in her home.
A place became available in January and we decided to do a month's trial. It didn't take long to see this was the place to live full-time.
It's home from home. Staff are extremely friendly and
make my mum feel special and wanted. Lovely, home-cooked food by the chefs and beautiful cakes baked on special occasions.
The care is second to none and gives the family peace of mind knowing Mum is being well looked after.
Highly recommend and so pleased we moved Mum here.

Beechcroft is a warm and welcoming residential home. After having to find a home for my grandfather I couldn’t believe our luck when Beechcroft had a room available just at the right time. The staff are friendly, approachable and caring towards my grandfather and have made him feel very comfortable
and welcomed at a difficult time. My grandfather enjoys the food, it always smells delicious when I visit and his needs are being met adequately. The atmosphere in the home is relaxed and they have lovely activities for those who wish to join in. Knowing that my grandfather is being looked after and cared for in such a lovely environment is all that I could wish for.

I find this a very friendly happy home with carers working hard to help me with everything I need. The home is very clean indeed which is a priority to me. I am able to make my room my own space. The meals are very good with very delicious sweets and my needs are catered for. I enjoy my breakfast in
my room, drinks are available throughout the day. The gardens are beautiful to sit out in, with plenty of walking areas. I am very happy to have found this home.

An outstanding care home: our mother moved to Beechcroft Residential Home in January 2020 at the age of 97. After a period of hospitalisation, it was clear she needed residential care. She first moved into another home in August 2019. She was not happy there and the care was indifferent so when the
opportunity for a place at Beechcroft came up we moved her. The care at Beechcroft has been exemplary, she received the best care and attention possible. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. As her health deteriorated her behaviour became increasingly challenging, yet Beechcroft always dealt with her with kindness and professionalism.
She died in the home in the most peaceful way and, again, Beechcroft's staff were outstandingly caring in a difficult time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Beechcroft as a Care Home. It would be difficult to find anywhere better.

Our brother-in-law came to Beechcroft Residential Home from North Harrow on March 10th 2020 for some respite, aged 100 years. Four days later came lockdown and so he stayed and two years, eight months later he is still there and very comfortable and happy. Our family are delighted with the help he receives
from the professional staff. He expresses his satisfaction with his surroundings, food and care. The staff do everything they possibly can to keep the residents happy, safe and well cared for as well as providing stimulating activities as and when needed and peace and quiet as required. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Beechcroft.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10 for Beechcroft Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.939 for Beechcroft Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.939

  • b) 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 Beechcroft Residential Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
