  • 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.

Grandad very happy at The Beeches.
All the staff are great always there to help no matter what is required.
It's nice how they talk to him like an adult and not a child like some people talk to old people.

Dad has had excellent care here. The members of staff are friendly and lovely with him. His room is great and most importantly, he is safe and his care needs are met. As a family, knowing that dad is in The Beeches is very reassuring.

The Beeches is so friendly, as soon as you walk through the door, the atmosphere is relaxed and calm and the staff can't do enough for you.
The residents are happy. It is also very clean inside and smells fresh. It is one big happy family.

Thanks to The Beeches Care Centre for the outstanding care they gave my mum while she lived there for the past four and a half years. She was very happy there because of the dedicated care and love from everyone, from cleaners, laundry, canteen, carers and manager. It felt like home.
I was touched
by the compassion and dignity they displayed as they attended to her through several illnesses and her recent death. The girls were genuinely upset at her passing. Many attended the funeral in their own time.
I cannot recommend the care home enough for anyone looking for a place for their relatives.

My mum came to The Beeches for respite care. She had fallen at home and needed extra care. All the staff are excellent. I have no complaints about the level of care she receives. She loves the food and has gained weight. She is assisted with washing and dressing and always looks clean. She is even joining
in with activities which are well planned.

Finding The Beeches care home has been a Godsend for my mum and I. I really appreciate their care and support for both my mum and myself.


They are so kind and caring but also professional and highly organised. I have been able to enjoy my time with my mum. Knowing that her physical and emotional

needs are being met when I am not there is such a burden lifted.

I live abroad so I was only able to visit every 3 or 4 months. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had the impression they had too many things to do at the same time and in general more staff would help. Outside area did not seem to be used properly because no one was available to sit with residents.

Reply from Claire Hurworth, Careline Manager at The Beeches Care Home

The home is now fully staffed after recruiting onto both day and nightshifts. The outside area is used regularly by residents in warmer weather, staff do not sit with them as residents in our home have full capacity but are regularly checked whilst they are outside. Staff will join residents during their breaks and the activities coordinator carries out activities with the residents who prefer being outdoors. Residents also regularly go out in the local area to the shops unassisted as if they were will still in their own home.

Approximately two years ago a decision was made by my mother and family that 24-hour care would be necessary. We looked at a few homes and chose The Beeches. We certainly made the correct choice for my mother. The friendliness and caring nature of all the staff were marvellous. The home was clean and
tidy and the food was very good. Residents and visitors could have a drink/snack whenever they needed one. At mealtimes, there was always a variety of choices. Regular entertainments were organised along with trips out. Any religious needs were catered for. An activities coordinator was employed to keep the resident's minds active. The home was always improving their facilities. My mother spent her last few years in this excellent home for which we were very grateful.

On my numerous visits to The Beeches during the past two years or so, I have always found the staff to be extremely professional, but also very welcoming and helpful. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, either in their care for the residents, or their attention to visitors. I cannot bring to mind
any occasion when this has not been so, and it applies to all members of staff I have encountered.

On first visiting the home when looking for care for mum, I knew it was the right place for her. The home had such a warm caring homely feel about it. All the staff that I came in contact with were warm and friendly and professional. Mum has been in the Beeches a couple of years and has been very well
cared for. I know when I leave her I have piece of mind that she is safe and happy.

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.
