  • Barchester Iddenshall Hall and Beeston View Memory Lane Community, Tarporley
Nestled in the rural village of Clotton in Cheshire, Iddenshall Hall is a 24-hour residential home that provides care for elderly people.

The Memory Lane Community, Beeston View, also offers residential and nursing care for those living with dementia. Whether long-term placement or a short spell of respite, the team at Iddenshall can provide appropriate levels of support.

Remaining active is important to us all and this attitude prevails at Iddenshall Hall. The team of activities coordinators design a regular programme of events to meet the needs, hobbies and interests of individual residents.

The home is a carefully adapted farmhouse dating back to the 16th century and, whilst oozing charm, elegance and character, has a distinctly homely feel.

Please call today or pop in for a coffee and a chat.

I can't thank the entire team at Barchester Iddenshall Hall and Beeston View Memory Lane Community downstairs facility enough. Their care and attention to my dad's well-being are exceptional, having been visiting throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, whenever the rules allowed. It is a pleasure to see how
the staff have responded to the additional rules they have had to endure and it is lovely to now visit in a more back to normal environment. I could single out a couple of people who I have contact with but it would be unfair as I know there is more to the team than the people we see on every visit. Thank you for keeping dad safe and happy and for taking the time you do.

Mum's home has been downstairs at Beeston View for many years now, and we regard it as her home and the wonderful staff as an extension of our family. The last two years have been very difficult for everyone, but I always have felt reassured that Mum’s care would continue to be excellent, knowing how
caring and trustworthy the staff are. When you go to visit, there is always a lovely, warm atmosphere; you are greeted by smiles and sometimes singing, and all the residents are treated with great dignity and respect. Mum says very little now, but I can tell she is happy and content.

The care staff are kind, patient and compassionate. My mum stayed for respite care and felt very comfortable and happy. I always found the care staff very friendly, approachable and helpful. Mum's needs were considered all the time and she had a good supply of cheese and onion crisps, which she loves.
Thank you so much.
Some feedback for the management - it would be good to have knobs on the drawers and the room had a slight urine smell, although the room looked spotlessly clean.

I met with the Unit Manager to discuss the arrangements for my mother becoming a resident. I was really impressed by her knowledge, experience and understanding of the elderly with dementia. The thoroughness of the questions to be able to ensure the level of care was appropriate from the outset was
great. The facilities for the residents look super with plenty of choices inside and outside to cater for lots of activities, or quiet spaces to read too. A very good initial experience, I think my mother will be happy there.

From the first day that I brought mum to Beeston View the staff couldn't be more helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and are always on hand to assist. The staff are not only very good at their job they are also lovely people. There is always a good selection of food served it puts my mind at rest knowing
that mum is being well cared for.

Mum has lived in Beeston view for two years now. This last year has been unthinkable for many but to be apart from your parent with advanced Alzheimer’s, it’s heartbreaking.
I wanted to write this review as a way of showing my gratitude for a couple of the carers especially. Mum has formed a strong
bond with the two carers in Beeston View and sees them as family. I can honestly say they also treat her as family and for this, I’m truly grateful. They have been my lifeline this past year and I know they’ve kept her going. Also this last couple of weeks mum had a short stay in hospital and, again, without these two carers, I wouldn’t have been able to cope. When I struggled to get information from the hospital, they helped me and informed me of every move that was being made with mum. Since she has been back to Beeston they have welcomed her back like family. I can’t tell these girls enough how thankful I am. They are true heroes in my mind and deserve a medal. Thanks so much, ladies.

Before you decided to spend over £60,000 a year on care for your relative, consider is it because you think you are doing the right thing buying expensive care. I did, but now I feel I did the wrong thing. My mother was a resident first in the residential unit, then the dementia unit and until last
week a resident of the Dementia Care Unit, where we removed her to a new home that is half the cost and where she seems to be much happier. During the lockdown, my mother lost nearly five stone in weight in as many months, but no one seemed overly concerned, she was no longer obese or diabetic. Also, during the lockdown, she fell and fractured her shoulder. I am pointing no fingers, but I do not know what was happening to my mother during this time. She was a prisoner of the regime. When we finally saw her five months later, all I can say its that she looked like a “tramp”. When we complained directly to the Managing Director, who is now on just under £2 million he couldn’t even be bothered to write to me.

The staff at Beeston View have been amazing. My mum was discharged from hospital into their care. They have gone beyond what they should do, staying on late with her long after they should have gone home simply because she asked them not to leave her. Not only were they caring staff to her they helped
us as her family every step of the way, particularly in her final days.

I would highly recommend this care home to anyone who is considering going into 24-hour care. I have an elderly aunt (95-year), suffering from dementia, who has been receiving respite at the home. From the moment she arrived, she has received excellent care from the staff. The staff have exceeded my
expectations, helping to make my aunts transition from home life to 24-hour care as easy as possible. The staff are shining examples of genuine, caring people who are trying to make the residents as comfortable as possible in the environment that they now find themselves in. They are a credit to themselves and to the company that they work for, well done, keep up the good work.

The lady I visit cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the facilities provided. I myself visit once a week and find staff and management very helpful. The cleanliness of the whole building is exceptional, as is the layout in the dining room when set for meals, as good as top hotels. The staff
are obviously aware of resident's needs with regard to meals and mobility, which is so important. I cannot speak highly enough of the whole environment

This home is excellent. Staff are extremely welcoming and treat the residents with respect and kindness. The home was clean and smells lovely, none of which odours you may associate to a care home.
There is always something going on and all staff are engaged with the residents. The atmosphere is relaxed
and fun.

Iddenshall Hall resembles a 5-star hotel rather than a care home. The rooms are light and airy and there is a beautifully decorated lounge and dining room but most importantly the staff are amazing, they are so friendly and caring. My mum has been there for over 12 months and refers to them as family.
I know that they consider her welfare and happiness to be their number one priority and that gives me total peace of mind. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

After two bad experiences, my husband settled well in the two weeks (respite) at Beeston View.
It has given me an opportunity to recharge my batteries in the knowledge that he is being well cared for and is "content" to be here.

A family environment. Care staff are very responsive to the needs of residents. My aunt is always very well dressed and her personal hygiene is excellent. I have observed the meals being served and they are of good quality with several choices offered. The staff are always visible, complaints (if any)
are discussed and rectified immediately. Staff always willing to discuss family needs.

My husband, who has a diagnosis of Alzheimer's (confirmed diagnosis 2013), had been attending Beeston View for daycare 2 x weekly since September 2018. He became more troubled and psychotic around Christmas, and after a month of trialling different doses of medication and lots of visits to the psychiatrist,
I was offered a respite bed for my husband at Beeston View. The family and myself were concerned he would not sett, but the staff were amazing, and by the end of the first week he surprised us all. He was made permanent after 2 weeks and he has settled so well - all down to the care and attention of the wonderful staff.

My father has stayed here for respite on a couple of occasions and has settled well which is a great comfort to me. The staff are always happy to help. My father enjoys to walk and his mobility is not the best but he loves the garden and also can view it from the room. It's clean and the food is good
and he is always complimentary about the place which speaks for itself.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.247)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.247) out of 10 for Barchester Iddenshall Hall and Beeston View Memory Lane Community is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.347 for Barchester Iddenshall Hall and Beeston View Memory Lane Community is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.347

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Iddenshall Hall and Beeston View Memory Lane Community is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 9 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.
