Beechwood is a thriving care home full of activity, which has a warm, family feel the moment you walk through the door.

Not only do the team provide residential and dementia care, they also offer pre-bookable respite care breaks. These are ideal for carers who might need a short break themselves, with the peace of mind of knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

The enormous gardens are the perfect spot for residents to enjoy growing their own fruit, vegetables and herbs, which is then used in the kitchen, where the chef creates delicious home-cooked meals.

During the summer, the team supported residents to create their own personalised garden plots and window boxes, where they have grown everything from flowers and beetroot to tomatoes. And the gardens are perfect for when ponies from the local riding stables pop in.

The team are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents and supporting them to have a very active role in how their home is run. Beechwood’s resident ambassadors provide feedback at residents’ and relatives’ meetings and welcome potential residents, spending time answering any questions they or their loved ones might have.

The local community is embraced into life at Beechwood. Local nursery children, community volunteers, a singing group, Gina’s exercise class and Malvern Community Library are all regulars. Animal visits are also popular, with everything from therapy dogs to reptiles!

Every Friday people from the Upton community join the residents for coffee and cake (11am- 2pm).

A hairdresser visits for weekly appointments in the home’s salon, and there is a large lounge, as well as smaller lounge areas and a conservatory to spend time with family and friends, who are welcome at any time. And families can also see what the residents have been enjoying doing on the home’s private Facebook page.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My mother is cared for with efficiency and affection. The carers are all very kind to her and make it seem that physical help is no bother and give her as much personal dignity as possible. The staff are always friendly and welcoming to visitors, that is all the staff- kitchen, laundry, cleaners office
staff as well as the management and carers. My mother really enjoys the food which is well prepared and varied. The activities coordinator is energetic and enthusiastic and does a very good job. Management members are always approachable and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.677)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.677) out of 10 for Beechwood Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.677 for Beechwood Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 328 Ratings = 4.677

  • 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 Beechwood 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:

    • 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
