Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your mother's stay at The Beeches. We value your input as it helps us improve our services. Your mother joined us on 30 March 2023, in our residential dementia care unit, where she initially engaged well with staff and other residents. However, as dementia is a progressive condition, her care needs evolved, and her behaviours became more complex. To address this, we increased staffing and provided Positive Behavioural Support training to our team. We also recruited new staff and introduced new activities to enhance residents' experiences. Despite our efforts, your mother's care needs exceeded what could be managed in a residential setting and required nursing-level care. As a result, we made the decision to transition her to a nursing care facility for her safety and well-being. This decision was made with the utmost care. We are happy to discuss any further concerns at your convenience. Thank you for trusting us with your mother's care.

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.795) out of 10 for The Beeches is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.170 for The Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (28 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.17
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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Beeches is based on 3 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 = 3.25
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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.375
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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2014
I joined The Beeches Care Home and started as a Carer Assistant. It was here that the Manager and Provider asked me if I would like to complete an NVQ Level 3 and begin a Senior Carer role. I completed my NVQ Level 3 in May 2015 and carried out the Senior Carer role until 2016. In 2018, I was afforded the opportunity to become a Head of Care, a role that assists the Manager in the governance of the home. I then went off for maternity leave in August 2018, and after giving birth to my daughter, I was able to bring her to work to introduce her to all of the residents as I feel the residents are my extended family.
In March 2022, Kirkland's Care Ltd became the new provider of the home. Since they have become the providers they have put so much effort, time and training into the home, and have given so much support to all the staff, ensuring they feel confident in any task they undertake. They have been the best company I have worked for regarding training and career progression, they are approachable and friendly, and they can see the potential in you. They have recently enrolled me to complete my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care and offered me the position of Home Manager.
Choosing care as my career is the best decision I have made and I look forward to ensuring a person-centred approach to all the staff and residents. Now I am looking forward to achieving my goal of delivering an outstanding service to The Beeches Care Home…my home from home.
To pay it forward, I would love to support and inspire anyone who chooses a career in care as it’s been an extremely rewarding achievement in my life, and the best thing I ever did.
