  • The Beeches Care Home, Dukinfield
The Beeches Care Home is located in the popular residential area of Dukinfield, Greater Manchester.

At the home, every member of the team is there to offer you the support and care you require, giving you the reassurance that every need is taken care of. But that needn't mean that residents can't live a fulfilled and active lifestyle. Independence and choice are a huge priority for the team, ensuring residents feel empowered to live life the way they want to.

The varied and carefully designed wellbeing and activities programme offers a range of things to get involved in, and connections with the local community are also encouraged, giving residents regular opportunities to get out and about and meet new people. For those who enjoy the slower pace of life, tranquil moments can always be found.

A purpose-built and friendly care home, The Beeches has a range of comfortable en-suite bedrooms to choose from, as well as a popular hair salon and pretty landscaped garden.

I visited my close friend, whose birthday it was. The staff greeted me with joy, excitement that everything was back to normal. I can only say that if I had to go into a home, I would happily live in this home.

Our family would like to express our gratitude for the fantastic care our Mum (Queen of The Beeches) received whilst in care at The Beeches Care Home, Dukinfield. She arrived in 2017 and lived there happily until her passing in October 2021. The manager and all the staff at The Beeches deserve massive
credit for the excellent professional, caring way the home is run. We always had a nice friendly welcome from them on our visits and The Beeches is more like a family home than just a care home. Mum’s room and the home was always spotlessly clean and tidy. Their care for Mum could not have been bettered and we are so grateful she ended her days in such a loving and friendly environment. Members of staff even came in to visit her on their days off. We would not hesitate to recommend The Beeches Care Home to anyone looking for residential care for their loved ones and would again like to say a big thank you to everyone in the home who cared so lovingly for Mum.

I am very pleased with the way the staff and management run the Beeches. It's very clean and tidy when we visit. My mum is well cared for and she is very happy there. The entertainment they provide (or will be doing, once possible) is fantastic. It is definitely one of the best care homes for my mum.
I would recommend this care home to anyone who wishes to use them.

The Beeches has been amazing from the day my nana landed there. This is the first time I have seen her since Covid, but I have felt reassured she has been given the best care possible and been happy in herself. Hats off to all the staff at The Beeches. You are all amazing, caring people. Thank you so
much.

Nothing is too much trouble from pre arrival to settling my mum into The Beeches. Their care towards my sister and I was so reassuring and helpful, and we know Mum is in the right place to give us confidence to relax knowing she is in safe hands. Their attention to covid safety is 100% (having seen
it fall below expected standards at Mum's previous home) I have every confidence in my mum now being resident here.

Our mother has been in residential care for almost three years. The pandemic has caused everyone great difficulties, and not being able to visit our mum caused us great concern. Our family is spread wide and far, and Mum was nearly 50 miles from the nearest family member. We came to the decision to
move Mum nearer to one of us so we could start regular visits as things ease up. I found The Beeches on an online search and they have been brilliant from the outset. Their level of care and personal attention for our mum is fantastic, and we look forward to regular personal visits later this year.

I would not hesitate to recommend The Beeches Care Home to anyone looking for residential care. This was my first choice for my mum, and it was the right choice. I am kept informed as to my mum's well-being, and the activities taking place are paramount to the happiness of the residents. I have no concerns
about the safety of my mum.

My mother resided at The Beeches Care Home, for the past 20 months. It was my first experience of care homes and I think naturally I was initially worried about what the experience would be like and how well my mother would be looked after. I shouldn't have worried, all of the staff have been extremely
kind and caring she could not have been in better hands. Sadly my mother has just passed away and I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart everyone who looked after her. My brother and I felt that she was in a great place, where those that cared for her made sure that she was comfortable, they took great personal interest in her and over the 20 months got to know her really well and enjoyed a laugh and joke with her when possible. My brother and I also felt that the way we were treated was really kind and considerate. I can't thank you enough for the support, help and care you provided. Thank YOU so much.

My mother-in-law was cared for to a high standard. The staff were friendly, happy and extremely caring, and helpful to the family and my mother-in-law. I couldn’t have wished for a more caring, safe environment for the last few years of her life. It was always a happy and welcoming place to enter. Staff
were so caring that they would go beyond their duties to help, especially as far as going into the home on their days off.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for The Beeches Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.934 for The Beeches Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (342 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 364 Ratings = 4.934

  • 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 The Beeches Care Home is based on 31 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 31 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.
