My mother was a resident in Beechfield Lodge for 15 months. In July 2022, her dementia took a massive decline. The staff at the home have always been extremely caring and understanding of her condition, even through the trials that Covid brought. During her last days, we were staying day and night.
The staff were amazing, providing drinks, food and lots of support. Nothing was too much trouble. Even finding a priest to give last rites is an almost impossible task.

Mum came into Beechfield Lodge from rehab where she had had a very difficult time through the pandemic and had deteriorated considerably. After a few weeks at Beechfield, she had settled and was beginning to improve - her mobility and wellbeing improved, and even her memory - despite having dementia.
I believe that this is down to the care and attention she has received from the lovely staff at Beechfield and the smooth running of the home.

Accommodation roomy and homely. Good care provides all needs. Personal care, cleaning all meals which mum has a choice of. The staff encourage mum to make her own choices. The staff always welcome us and answer all questions asked. A member of staff is always pleasant and chatty along with other colleagues.

The care and dedication of the staff at Beechfield Lodge is exceptional. I would like to put on record a special mention of a care assistant who goes above and beyond her contractual duties to help in any way she can. My mum was 90 in October and the staff arranged a lovely afternoon tea event for mum,
my sister and I to enjoy under restricted conditions. A huge thank you to the housekeeper and her kitchen staff for making this possible. I couldn't ask for any better care or attention.

I am unlikely to recommend Beechfield Lodge to anyone whose relative has similar needs to my mum. For the first three years that mum was resident at Beechfield, we were happy with the level of care mum received; with most of the staff (some of which were extremely caring) and with the physical environment
which was clean, light, and airy. Prior to Covid, the activities were good - although mum wasn’t always included in these. The problem for us was once mum's needs increased and she needed more care. Beechfield Lodge didn’t respond to this - resulting in neglect: significant weight loss, unwitnessed falls, and injuries, and mum spending most of her time alone in her room. These factors all contributed towards mum becoming depressed and accelerated her dementia. After many conversations with management, they eventually suggested mum’s needs would be better met in a nursing home. It saddens me that this wasn’t suggested six months earlier when they first realised they were struggling.

Reply from Sharon Bollesty, Home Manager at Beechfield Lodge

We appreciate your feedback regarding Beechfield Lodge. We are sorry that you have concerns regarding your mother’s care and we have responded to you regarding these. Our activities changed due to Covid guidance but we continue to provide alternatives and aim to offer individual activities where appropriate.


Sadly your mum’s care needs did change over time, which we discussed with you and involved appropriate health professionals to provide support. Following a meeting with you and District Nurses regarding the ongoing increases in her care needs, it was felt appropriate to undertake a nursing assessment. Following the nursing assessment being undertaken, the outcome was that mum required a nursing placement.


We are sorry that you felt things could have been done differently but I would like to reassure you at all times we had your Mum’s best interests in mind and truly believed we were doing everything we could to provide all support.

Some staff are amazing with Mum. Very good and attentive to Mum's needs and communicating with the family. There is the odd one member of staff that do not seem to know Mum or how to speak to her. I appreciate this is human nature and will always get some people who are naturally caring. Overall very
good and they have worked so hard throughout the pandemic.

Reply from Sharon Bollesty, Manager at Beechfield Lodge

I cannot praise this care home enough. The home, including the rooms are always tidy and clean. The family are always informed of any changes with mum, ie. changes in medication and of any incidents. I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful and the word carer couldn't be more apt because
I have always found them to be very caring. Through difficult times, the home has been the best it can.

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.
