We are really pleased with the care given to my mother. She is nearly 104 and has been at Beechfield for 5 years. The staff are, without exception, caring, positive and kind to her. We have never had any doubts about her care. Communication is excellent and we are always informed of any changes or incidents.
We feel she is safe and treated with great respect. We have also seen how other residents are treated and we are sometimes amazed at how patient and lovely the staff are. Thank you Beechfield.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My dad has recently come out of hospital and returned back to the home and this meant he had to move to a ground floor flat. The team at Beechfield were extremely accommodating with this and moved everything and made the flat look welcoming and homely, even putting his family pictures on the wall and
his personal ornaments where he could see them. My dad has returned with a deterioration in his mobility having to be hoisted and very much reliant on the team of lovely support workers for his care needs. Now this has been challenging as my Dad is a very proud man, set in his ways and not the easiest of patients especially accepting his new circumstances. With this said the team have maintained a constant communication with myself, outer agencies, processing referrals and most importantly looking after Dad treating him with dignity, respect, kindness, reassurance and a smile.

Overall experience of Beechfield Lodge is very good. Mum's needs are met with care and affection by the staff and carers. She is treated with dignity and patience when she can be challenging especially when a reluctance in getting up.

So far we are happy with the level of care my father has received and feel that he has settled in quite well.
We are pleased that the home offers a fair range of activities and entertainments.
Hopefully the carers are able to continue my father's exercises to help his movement, and also walking with
his frame when possible.

Myself and my sisters are very happy with Beechfield Lodge and all the staff.
My dad is very confused and all the staff are kind, polite and caring with him,
He says he is not happy with the food, but he looks well fed.
He enjoys going out on external activities and taking part in the home based
activities.

My mum moved into Beechfield Lodge in March 2022. Sadly passed away January 2025.
This review covers the time mum stayed in Beechfield. Thank you to all the staff that looked after my mum (who had dementia) and made her feel at home and enjoyed the activities and friendship with all the staff.
Special
thanks to the manager and carers, two in particular, who were brilliant with mum upto her passing.

Beechfield Lodge is a modern purpose built care home with excellent facilities. Resident's rooms are spacious and most have a separate bath/showerroom and kitchen. The home is kept very clean and has a pleasant odour. Staff are professional and approachable. The carers treat the residents with kindness
and respect and the residents always appeared settled and happy. There are enclosed secure gardens for residents to enjoy. I cannot fault the home in any way. Thank you.

My mother has been here for 2.5 years. I cannot fault the place. The staff are amazing, residents always well dressed, look clean & tidy. The care home itself is well kept, clean tidy, no offensive smells. Bright, fresh, airy.
I every over heard 2 residents talking to one and other expressing how happy
they are to live at Beechfield.
Thats the best review ever when residents express it.

Whilst my mother has been a resident of Beechfield Lodge, she has lived in a very comfortable clean flat of her own. She has access to communal areas and mixed with other residents enjoying entertainment, activities & weekly trips. It has given me peace of mind knowing she was well looked after and
happy.
I cannot fault the care she has received plus the dignity she deserved in her final days with many staff going above & beyond their expected duties. I am forever grateful for all they have provided.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.576)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.576) out of 10 for Beechfield Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.576 for Beechfield Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (411 Excellents x 5) + (201 Goods x 4) + (34 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 648 Ratings = 4.576

  • 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 Beechfield Lodge is based on 53 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 53 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.
