  • 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've been visiting my friend since her admission in 2016 and I must say that she is always happy and has nothing but lovely things to say - she is well looked after and The Beeches is a lovely welcoming home with warm, caring staff. Well done! Although I can't visit at present I have had lots of phone
calls off her. This is very reassuring.

It was Mum's 99th birthday, she had the most wonderful time. Everyone at Thye Beeches made her day so special. We must mention one particular member of staff who worked so hard. Mum has been a resident since November, and although it was a hard family decision to make, we know it was the right one.
Thank you for memorable birthday for Mum.

Since I have been coming here to The Beeches to visit my sister I have been amazed at how quickly she has settled in. The Beeches feels very homely and relaxed. They go out of their way to produce a broad range of activities and the staff are so caring, supportive and understanding. A huge thank you
to everyone at The Beeches and keep up the good work.

I visit my ex, next-door neighbour, roughly once a week. I find The Beeches very welcoming and a caring place to be. The residents appear to be very happy and well cared for and the staff reflect this in their caring attitude in which nothing is too much trouble.

My mother has been a resident at The Beeches for two years.
She says 'my carers are wonderful and would do anything for you'. My Mum is a very private persona and her wishes and routine are respected. She is very comfortable in the environment. The Beeches is a happy and welcoming place. The management
and their team work very hard to achieve this atmosphere. They are friendly and very committed to ensuring that the residents are as happy as possible and safe in their environment.

I am part of the team from a local church in Dukingfield visiting The Beeches. The link person at The Beeches makes a great deal of effort to set the room up for us and get many of the residents to come. The home is warm, friendly and, obviously, a happy home for the residents. About 20 attend and appreciate
the time. The majority have been church members and appreciate the visit. We are delighted that the staff really make an effort to make this happen for the residents. The link person is always welcoming, friendly and takes part.

Since my auntie arrived at The Beeches she's improved in her eating habits, mood and weight gain. Lovely to see her settled in and the friends she has made. Lovely to see that when I've visited, whichever room we're in, there is a staff member sitting unobtrusively in the room doing paperwork - yet
on hand to toilet the residents sensitively - preempting the need to visit the loo.
My auntie also says after lunch 'she's asked for her opinion of the food. Staff speak politely to visitors of residents and seem to be happy in their work - good management.

The staff are always nice to my grandad he gets all that he needs. He's always saying how he's looked after well and he can have a laugh with the staff.
They are always very friendly with our family too and can always spare time if we need to discuss grandad's needs.

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.
