Overall Experience

My dad was in hospital and needed to go into respite care placement.
Mum was already in Beechmount, the manager held a room for dad so they could be together. Sadly, dad's health went downhill very quickly as he had congestive heart failure, within a few weeks of him being in Beechmount, the doctor

said he only had a couple of weeks to live. He was soon in bed 100% of the time, we stayed with him. We were all treated with compassion and respect throughout. Drinks and food were constantly being brought up to us. All the staff were so kind, going above the expected standards, coming to chat and becoming friends with us in a difficult situation. Dad was so at peace with everyone, he was arranging for me to organise a coach to take the staff to Ireland on holiday. This gave him a great deal of pleasure in his last days as dad said "They have done so much for us all, it would be good to do something nice in return". Dad didn't know he was dying, he kept saying "I hope we can go, it will be such fun".

Overall Experience

First, I have to say that writing a review for Beechmount is akin to writing a review about a family member because, in effect, they have become an extension of family and we are all in this together.
Mum's (mother-in-law actually) dementia became acute enough that the council determined she was a

risk to Dad (father-in-law actually). Beechmount took Mum in, dispelling her fears and often confused anxieties with loving assurance.
When Dad's (father-in-law actually) health rapidly deteriorated to the point of needing care, Beechmont graciously made room for him. And whilst he needed to stay in a separate room (due to Mum's complications) Beechmount's staff made his last days incredibly positive and when he passed away, much like family, we all felt his loss.
Mum still resides there and whether it's sadness, confusion, tidying or just moments in need of a smile and a hug, love and respect are abundant amongst the staff in Beechmount Care Home. My wife and I are incredibly grateful for them.

Overall Experience

My brother has been at Beechmount Care Home for over three years, I can honestly say it is the best care home and he is so very well cared for, I can tell he is so happy there.
All of the staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble, they really do go above and beyond their duties

and are like an extended part of the family.
I have recommended this home to friends and they are very happy too.
I can honestly say there is nothing that I would change, it is the most happy place and I can see all the residents that live there are happy and cared for when I visit my brother.
The staff really are all angels without wings and work so very hard.

Overall Experience

Beechmount is a really lovely home and has been a great comfort to our family during a very difficult time. The manager has created a real family atmosphere and together with her team of exceptional carers, cooks, cleaners and admin staff, has made very challenging situations bearable. The meals are

frequent and generous and cater beautifully to the tastes of the elderly with lots of sweet treats and endless teas and coffees and biscuits. Their kindness to the residents also extends to family members who have been welcomed at all times with such warmth and friendliness.

Beechmount is a warm, friendly home where all the staff work over for all the residents, take time to talk to them and make sure they are warm and fed.
Everyone is clean and fresh, and the home smells of good cooking. If my husband can't be with me at home, then this is a good substitute.

This care home has put our minds at rest because of having to put our mum into care.
This is a family setting which has been thoughtfully put together for the best quality of life and care of the residents. I would definitely recommend this care home to others who want the best care for their relatives.

Many thanks and love to all.

Beechmount is an absolutely incredible care home, I cannot fault them what so ever. The way they looked after my Grandpa made him feel so welcome at one of the hardest times in his life, the way they listened to his every need made him feel happy and safe right until the very end. I cannot thank the

staff enough especially your manager he is the most hardworking organised person I know my Grandpa loved him, and because of that Beechmount is like a family to me to the point we are moving my Grandma there.

Beechmount is the best care home I have come across and I've seen quite a few in the Torbay area. Beechmount looked after my precious Dad until he passed away. He was always treated amazingly, everybody loved him, and the staff especially the manager spent a lot of time talking to him and making him

feel welcome. My Dad was very happy here, so much so I am moving my Mum in soon as she is unhappy in her home. I know she will love it here.

Overall Experience

During the initial visit to Beechmount, the manager emphasised that it was the residents home and visitors were welcome at any time. Families, including children and pets, were there. Laughter came from residents, visitors and staff. We chose Beechmount for our mother. The management at Beechmount is

professional with high standards and expectations of the staff who receive regular training. The residents are treated with respect and their dignity is preserved. Residents are involved in making choices, wherever possible. There are opportunities throughout the day and night, if necessary, for residents to eat or drink. So important when people forget or lose interest in food and drink. All of the staff are caring and loving, giving reassurance to residents who are stressed or upset. Beechmount is a happy place where there is often laughter. When our mother was nearing the end of her life, all staff were so kind and loving, making her as comfortable as possible, returning frequently to see if her needs had changed. They took care of us too, both day and night. I cannot praise them enough for all of their kindness. It was such a good decision when we chose Beechmount.

Overall Experience

My Mum had been a resident at Beechmount for about 20 months before she passed away on 26th July 2018. She had frontal temporal lobe dementia and the staff worked hard to meet her ever-changing needs, often challenging needs. The staff showed care and patience. It was very homely and had a lovely family

feel. The manager was switched on to staff and residents and was lovely and understanding - always ready for a chat. They all cared for my Mum right to the end.
