Mum is well cared for. The staff are all very caring. They look after her very well. They always go the extra mile. When we visit, they make us welcome and offer refreshments.
The home offers activities and they have parties regularly for all events throughout the year.
Mum enjoys the food, it is
prepared on-site. They offer a good variety and always make sure she has her favourites. We are very satisfied with the care she receives.

My mother has been at Beech Grove for two years now and the care she receives is very good. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and always have a smile and make me feel very welcome when I visit. A few members of our family came to visit Mum just before Christmas and a puppy and small children.
They went out of their way to accommodate us and made us so welcome it was lovely and made Mum's Christmas very special. I am very happy with the care my mother receives. A very happy home with lovely caring staff.

One of the better homes out there. Staff are very friendly and treat their residents with care and compassion. The staff keeps you informed of any changes in a timely and regular manner. The rooms are neat, tidy and clean. There always appear to be activities both inside and outside the home to keep
the residents stimulated. Obviously, not all the residents will participate but the opportunities are there if wanted.
My mother has been there for almost a year and she has enjoyed being there. She has very good relationships with the staff and enjoys most of the activities. She has her hair done regularly which boosts her self-esteem as well as trips to cafes and restaurants. Compared to her previous home, this is a marked improvement in how she is being cared for so I'm very happy with her current care.
I would highly recommend this home if you have a relative who requires residential accommodation and one that offers a humanistic approach to each person who lives there.

All the staff at Beech Grove are very helpful. The care they have shown my mother over the last two years has been excellent. If a problem arises at any time it is quickly attended to by the relevant team/staff. Family members are kept up to date with everything that's happening.

The staff at Beech Grove are doing a very good job caring for my mother's needs at a difficult stage in her life. Nothing is too much trouble, and any concerns raised are dealt with compassionately and efficiently. My mother is happy in the home, the food is good, and the staff interact well with her.
The staff make every effort to keep the residents entertained during the day and regularly organise events for those who are able to participate. The manager at Beech Grove is a very caring person by nature and is very easy to approach, and the administration side of the home is very informative and efficient.
My family and I are happy that Mum is in the right place; she was unhappy before moving into Beech Grove.

When I visit my uncle I always find him happy and contented. The staff are always kind and he is obviously very fond of them. He enjoys the food and it's good to see that he has put weight on and looks really well. He tells me how much he enjoys being in the home and considering I don't live locally
I am given peace of mind.

Extremely happy with the care my wife is receiving. From day one she settled into such a friendly environment. All the staff are excellent, always welcoming, nothing is too much trouble.
While she's been a resident my wife's been on numerous trips out to the local cinema, local market place, out for
lunch, and church. This has helped to keep her active.

My mum was at Beech Grove for approximately 18 months. She passed away quietly and with dignity in April last year.
Our experience started during Covid restrictions and the staff was fantastic. They kept us well-informed and helped us with long-distance video calls and window visits.
We were always
made to feel very welcome and they treated my sisters and me with great kindness and thoughtfulness and lots of tea! Thank you.

My mum was always treated with love and respect, I always felt I was going to my mum's home, not a care home. Laughter can always be heard, not laughing at people but with people. I felt Mum was living with an extended family. Mum passed away on 25/1/23, and the treatment she received in her final days
was nothing short of wonderful. The treatment we, the family, received was far beyond what money can buy. All the staff at Beech Grove are nothing short of fantastic. Thank you.

My friend's mum has been living at Beech Grove for approx 3 years and has received the best of care. The staff are warm and friendly and the level of care they deliver is of a very high standard. They have managed Covid-19 exceptionally well and deserve recognition for their hard work, care and tenacity
in such difficult times.
I visited on Thursday 22nd July 2021 and was so pleased to see how well my friend's mum is being cared for; something she herself commented on. Thanks to everyone there for the care and attention you provide for this lovely lady and for all your Residents.

Mum receives excellent care at Beech Grove. The staff have worked tirelessly throughout the Covid pandemic to deliver a high-quality service to all their residents despite all the arising issues and difficulties. The staff team have offered us great reassurance and support during such a challenging

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.448)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.448) out of 10 for Beech Grove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.448 for Beech Grove is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (90 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.448

  • 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 Beech Grove is based on 17 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
