  • 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.

My husband was 6 years in a home with Alzheimer's. It's different, far nicer than the one he was in. My brother lives at The Beeches - it is a very lovely place and I'm very pleased about that.

My mother has recently moved into The Beeches. After a small stroke and a period of time in the hospital. I have been delighted with the way she has been treated by the staff to make her feel welcome. The manager and staff were excellent when there was a problem with her discharge from the hospital,
sorting it out with me calmly and efficiently. I can tell my mum is being well cared for and is safe and sound in a well-run care home.

My 93 yr old mum has now been at The Beeches for 2 years. She has always been a very independent person and it was hard for her to give up her home and accept that she needed help and support in her everyday life to keep her safe and well cared for. She chose The Beeches as it is smaller home where
she felt secure and more able to understand the simple layout. Staff were very friendly on our visits. We joined in the activities provided, had lunches and mum soon made friends. Whilst it has not been an easy transition for mum to accept, often anxious and tearful, staff are always patient and attentive to her needs and do all they can to support her. The senior management team are especially supportive to both residents and relatives and work hard to ensure a clean, happy, safe and interesting environment for all who go there.

My mum has been at The Beeches for 10 months. It is a very warm and welcoming home with a "homely" feeling as you go in. My mum is very well cared for and all her needs are met. The staff are great, anything my mum has needed, they have arranged it for her, to make her day to day life as comfortable
as possible.

The best recommendation I can give regarding this care home is the outstanding qualities of the carers who work there. I visited many when I realised my mother would at some point require moving into a care home. It was the most difficult and upsetting decision I have ever had to make. A lot of the
care homes I visited looked very similar with respect to furnishings, cleanliness, etc. However, there is a certain 'warmth' about The Beeches Care Centre. This can only occur if you get a sense that the carers actually care.
After four months I have witnessed genuine respect, dignity and a sense of fun. As one carer put it on the very first day to my mother "We (the carers) are living in your home"
It just goes to show it's not what's on the outside but whats on the inside that is important.

Mum died in the Beeches Care Home today. The care and compassion shown by the staff was outstanding, she died with dignity and was blessed with the love shown by the staff. They went above and beyond their duties, some of the carers came in on their own time to care for her. All the staff should be
commended for their dedication to the residents. They not only cared for mum but also constantly offered drinks and hugs to all the family.

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.
