Mum came to the home in November 2024 and has settled in well, after it was decided she needed 24-hour care. From the onset, have found all the staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. The home is clean and well-furnished. I haven't noticed any unpleasant odours during my visits. Activities are daily
and it's nice to see staff interacting and the residents participating. Communication is strong with the manager, leading a very good team. Overall, my opinion of the home is excellent and I am optimistic that their high standards will continue along with the high standard of care shown to Mum.

My mother has been at Beechfield Lodge since August this year. As time has gone on, she has become a lot more settled and my sister and myself believe that this is down to the staff who she can't praise enough. Very friendly and helpful, she thinks the food could be improved.
Overall, she is in the
best place where she feels safe and is being looked after around the clock.

Reply from Sharon Bollesty, Manager at Beechfield Lodge

My dad entered Beechfield Lodge in October 2024.
The staff are very caring and Beechfield, in general, is well run and has a welcoming atmosphere. My dad's room is spacious and cheery with two large windows letting in plenty of light. The staff take my dad out frequently which is great.
Choice of
meals seems good.
Many thanks to all the staff and management.

The staff at Beechfield Lodge always welcome me when I go to visit my friend, the home is always clean and smells fresh. My friend is well looked after, as are te other residents. I am sorry I can't rate 'value for money' as I don't know what she pays. On behalf of me and my friend, please say a big
thank you to all concerned.
Also, we went to the Christmas fayre which was a lovely afternoon out for us all.

I couldn't have chosen a better care home for my mother.
The staff are totally invested, amazing and very accommodating. They go above and beyond to make their residents and families feel at ease.
They keep me updated on a regular basis.
Being in another country away from my mother is very hard.
However, knowing where she is and the care she is given, I believe I made the right choice in choosing Beechfield Lodge.
I am able to video call/phone with my mother on a daily basis and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They are absolutely amazing and a godsend.

Have been visiting my friend since 2022. Have always found the staff to be very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Have always found the place clean and tidy. Even had a cup of tea!
What is pleasant is the distinct lack of the smell of urine noticeable in a lot of homes we visit!

Mum has now resided at Beechfield Lodge for six months and appears to have settled in. She has a daily routine and often has an afternoon nap which is in line with the routine she had at home. I now feel confident that she is safe and has support on hand if needed.

My mother has resided in Beechfield Lodge for approximately three years. She has an ensuite room with a small kitchen. The room is modest but both functional and kept clean. The overall facility is well laid out with separate dining and sitting rooms and secure gardens. The parking is sufficient. The
staff are positive and helpful. Myself and my family visit often and very reassured our mum is being well cared for.

Was a little perturbed on first visit when my arrival was announced on loudspeaker - why? Also, in the first 20 minutes I was with my friend, four carers popped in to make sure she was ok - why? To impress? Don't think staff could do that for all residents - they wouldn't have the time - silly. Nobody
is fooled.
Went into large lounge today - smelt awful.
Had to ask for a snack for my friend on a previous visit. She had been given a drink but not offered any food and the same thing had happened the week before.

Reply from Sharon Bollesty, Manager at Beechfield Lodge

Thank you for taking the time to review Beechfield Lodge. Due to the size of our home, all care staff have walkie talkies, when a visitor or health care professional arrives we let staff know if a resident has a visitor going to a resident's flat so either the resident can meet them at their flat or where required staff member can support them going to the flat. Visitors' feedback has found this helpful. If a resident has a high risk of falls, all colleagues are encouraged to just pop in to ensure our resident is safe and well. These additional checks are sometimes implemented following advice from social workers. Feedback has been supportive of this. All areas of Beechfield Lodge are regularly cleaned, where our home scored 97% in a recent full infection control audit by Salford City Council. We have a constant supply of drinks and snacks available to all our residents with a wide selection of choices. We are happy to discuss all aspects of our care at a mutually convenient time.

Mum has been a resident here since February 2024. From the first meeting with the home manager, I have been impressed by all aspects of care provided. Mum arrived after 3 months in hospital, distressed and confused and vehemently opposed to moving to a care home. Within days at Beechfield Lodge, she
had settled in and felt safe and settled in her new 'flat'. She doesn't think of Beechfield Lodge as a care home but as a lovely flat with 24-hour caring and attentive staff. The physical environment is always clean and welcoming, the staff is unfailingly helpful and cheerful, the quality of care planning (and the internal quality auditing of the care plans) is very good and mum has re-gained weight she lost during her hospital stay due to the good quality food provided. The staff have clearly got to know Mum well and have adapted to her preferred routines. Communication with family is excellent through our named team leader. I know Mum is in a well-managed, caring environment. Would highly recommend.

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.
