My mum was a resident at Beech Grove for just under 18months until she passed away a few weeks ago. The staff were patient and kind, tried their best to make mums life better. I was at the home most days so got to know a lot of the staff, I knew mum was in good hands.
The staff gave that extra care
which showed that they genuinely wanted to make a difference. There was always lots of laughter and a relaxed atmosphere that made the place homely.
I would recommend Beech Grove to anyone.

Fantastic care home - over the moon with the care my dad is receiving. The most important thing is that my dad is happy and well cared for. This is an excellent feature of Beech Grove. The staff go 'over and above' to ensure my dad is always laughing and joking and they have clearly been well trained
to deal with Alzheimer's. Can't praise them enough.

My mother-in-law moved into Beech Grove care home nearly three weeks ago and settled in quickly. We were able to personalise her room which now looks warm, comfortable and familiar. The staff were very welcoming and caring and quickly understood her needs. She is treated with kindness and respect and
is encouraged to be as independent as possible. The staff respond quickly if she uses her call button and my mother-in-law feels safe and well cared for. She has enjoyed having her hair and nails done, good meals and being amongst people. We are very pleased to have found such a friendly place for her.

My parents and I have always been treated with respect, friendliness and compassion.
The management and staff couldn't have been more helpful at such a difficult time for all of us.
I don't know what we would have done without them. Their excellent care continues.

My father went into Beech Grove in March 2012. He was 95, needed help with a catheter and leg dressings for ulcers, could still walk about with the help of a stick and had no dementia. He didn't want to go into a care home but accepted that it was necessary. Much to everyone's surprise he enjoyed it!
The staff treated him really well, he was allowed a lot of privacy. His room was warn, cosy, homely and he was allowed to personalise it with his own belongings, which made a difference. Beech Grove has a warm, cheerful atmosphere.

Dad spent the last 3 years of his life at Beech Grove and passed away aged 98 on 22nd June 2015. During his time there he was happy and settled but didn't mix with the other residents which was his own choice. The staff, all of them from the manager to the cleaners and kitchen staff treated him with
the utmost respect and always had time to share with him anything he wanted to share with them. Beech Grove is a happy place with a homely atmosphere, the care from all is excellent. The food is very good and I would recommend Beech Grove to anyone who is thinking of either short of long term care.

From the moment mum went into the home the staff couldn't have been better. She felt at home straight away and enjoyed staying there. She was always well looked after by all the staff, always kept very clean and tidy, clothes were washed daily. The staff also made me feel at home whenever I went, usually
weekly, they were very welcoming at the end of mums life (she died there). They were wonderful nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, management, to cleaner they all loved her and we were with her when she died which was hard but we felt at home. We never had any problems and would recommend the home.

My mother was a resident for just over 2 years at Beech Grove, and during that time she received the best care and attention that anyone could have wished for in this homely caring environment. During her final weeks of live, she received care and attention from compassionate, loving and caring staff,
who were just as upset as her family on her passing. We cannot praise the staff and management enough.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.479)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.479) 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 4.5 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.479 for Beech Grove is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (90 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.479

  • 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 18 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 18 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.
