I have always found staff to be attentive and caring towards my niece with her needs and the understanding that is necessary.
And they have good communications with me concerning her.

I was invited to join the residents on an outing, I found the staff very polite and welcoming and the manager very positive. The residents interacted with the staff saying how much they enjoyed themselves.

My recent experience with Beechlands care centre has been extremely positive.
The staff are friendly and professional on all levels. The support levels are amazing with particular reference to the recent introduction of a 'POD' to allow visitors access to family. The 'POD' is clean, warm, safe and
definitely covid restrictions in place.
Thank you to all of you. You are amazing.

Our daughter resides at Beechlands where the carers are very good and caring and kind to her. Management do everything they can. I think the garden area needs a good tidy up, it could look beautiful with a little care perhaps the residents could help and give them something to do. When my daughter arrived
at Beechlands the meals were cooked in house and they were lovely, they are now brought in and to be honest I could not eat them, she does not eat them because she is a good cook and used to better. I find the home to be very clean and her room is kept very nice by the staff. I don't like finding fault with anything or anyone but I am truthful, I feel sorry for the management as they can't do any more than they do.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.140)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.140) out of 10 for Beechlands is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 3 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 4.057 for Beechlands is calculated as follows: ( (6 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.057

  • 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 4.083 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beechlands 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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.6 = 0.833

  • 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.
