My sister has now been a resident of The Beeches for several months and we are now more than happy to see her settled in such a lovely, warm environment. It boasts a lovely, warm atmosphere and the staff and carers are kindly and sympathetic to my sister's needs. It's very nicely decorated and pristine
in all areas. 100 per cent.

There is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The building is light, airy and clean. The food is fantastic, homemade and presented well in a spacious dining room. The bedroom I visit is always clean with its own facilities. the carers are friendly, cheerful and hardworking. They do all in their power
to be helpful to the residents. the restrictions of the pandemic make their job much harder and restricts informative conversations with relatives. I very much appreciate all the work of all the staff.

Reply from Jennie Hamblin, Operations Support Manager at The Beeches

Thank you for your lovely review of our home. It’s great to read that you feel welcome and the atmosphere is friendly, this is exactly what we work so hard towards achieving. I will pass your kind words on to the team. We very much appreciate your support too.

Quick response always to phone calls and also the entrance intercom. Welcoming is always friendly and staff are only too willing to help with any enquiries, everything is very professionally handled so too is testing, readily available prior to meeting mother, now in her own room. The reception area
is clean, bright and inviting with a lovely fish tank. Mum is now far happier with the updated rules of the family seeing relatives in their own room. All Covid procedures are followed with personal safety and care for staff and others. A place that you can have the highest confidence in to love, care and respect your mother. Mum is always presented in a clean, tidily and colour coordinated manner. Loves a read of her own delivered daily paper and really enjoys the prepared meals. Her needs are always respectfully attended to. Now for the Christmas decorations and celebrations, hopefully, there will be some social events in 2022 to raise everyone's spirit.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a heart-warming review, we are very touched by your comments. All the staff in the home, work very hard to promote the wellbeing of our residents and I’m pleased to hear that you are happy with the care and support received. We are currently planning all of our Christmas entertainment and look forward to sharing our plans with everyone.

I have always found the staff very friendly and helpful. They treat the residents as individuals and with dignity. At times the cleanliness of the bathroom could have been better and help with personal care could be improved. The laundry department don't always return the personal clothing to my relative
(although marked) and it goes unnoticed because she is blind.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for us. I’m sorry that you felt that some aspects of the home were not to the expected standard; I will cascade this information to the team to enable us to improve those aspects of the service. Thank you once again for your comments.

It is difficult to write this review as we have not been able to enter the home to see the facilities. I telephone my Aunt twice a week and she seems very happy with the care she receives. As I live in York we have quite a journey to visit my Aunt. We were able to book two outdoor visits. Unfortunately,
on the first visit, we drove all the way from York but someone had muddled the appointment and I was told to return in 40 minutes as my time slot had been taken. When I returned it was pouring with rain and I could only see her through the patio door for a few minutes. A long way for such a short visit!

Reply from Darren Mann-Saunders, Home Manager at The Beeches

Thank you for taking the time to complete our review form, and thank you for your feedback. As you will appreciate, these are very difficult and challenging times for our residents, staff and our families, and we are trying to ensure that we have everything we can in place to enable our residents to keep in touch with families. Unfortunately, we are unable to control the weather, but we have now changed our appointment booking system so that only the administration manager and the home manager are taking and recording the appointments; hopefully, this will stop any duplication or double booking of time slots. Thank you once again for your comments.

All the staff treat my mother-in-law with kindness and respect. She always looks well presented, if I have any issues the staff are very quick to put my mind at rest. The only downside to The Beeches is the lounge area really does need a full overhaul on the furnishings i.e. stained chairs that have
definitely seen better days. Quite off-putting really, lets The Beeches down.

Reply from Darren Mann-Saunders, Home Manager at The Beeches

I am delighted that you feel our team treat your mother-in-law with kindness and respect, and that she is well presented. We are reviewing the lounge area and we will be renewing the furnishings in the near future.

I cannot thank The Beeches enough for the way they have helped Dad settle in. After spending all this year in hospital, apart from 3 weeks, he now is much more like his old self enjoying all the many activities, especially the music. The management and staff are amazing, kind, caring and thoughtful,
nothing is too much trouble. The Beeches is an excellent care home and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Mum was very unsure about staying in a care home and it took a while for her to agree to give it a go. The staff all encouraged and supported her through the initial days of uncertainty, she also connect with other clients who were equally chatty. Having now settled, she enjoys the company of others,
both clients and staff alike, as well as participating in many of the activities presented. Overall so far Mum is so much happier and settled at The Beeches than I could have hoped for and will continue to enjoy the company and caring support from the staff and clients alike.

My mother is 101 years old. She arrived at The Beeches six months ago, originally for respite care having had, health-wise, a traumatic few years culminating in six admittances to hospital re: infections and falls during 2018. As a result, and in spite of having four carers a day, her then accommodation
being assisted living, and having only time-limited on-site management availability, was not considered suitable by NHS/Social Services for her personal safety. With its 24 hour care, regular good meals and rapid access to medical services, The Beeches offers the opportunity to improve her well being and mobility significantly. I am impressed with the level of care and the friendly atmosphere. I feel happy that we have made a good choice in choosing The Beeches.

I found the staff very welcoming and supportive. When my father came into the home he was hardly eating anything and was very reluctant to get out of bed. After a few days of his respite stay I could see a difference in him, he was eating more and seemed to be more interactive. The staff were patient
and understanding with him. Nothing has been too much trouble for them, I would definitely recommend the home to other families.

This care home was the best in our area when we researched the market 5 years ago.
Since then I would say that standards have improved and there is nothing that I think should be changed.
My mother (resident) has different views but that is because of her condition.
I cannot be more detailed as I
only visit occasionally because of living abroad.
Still maintain regular contact by phone.

The Beeches is a really lovely care home, very welcoming, clean and tidy with amazing staff. We could visit at any time and speak to someone if we had any questions. My lovely Dad was a resident for 14 months and especially during his last few days both Dad and our family were shown the most fantastic
care and kindness by everyone. We will be forever grateful. Thank You.

He was shown then the care and comfort from both management and staff, who are always pleasant and helpful and continue to do so.

Methodist homes for the aged are Britains best-kept care secret. MHA have, in my families experience, provided excellent care and facilities for my Mother. The staff, of which there are always plenty, are friendly and knowledgeable. They are always happy to discuss my Mother's care issues in a transparent
fashion. MHA are very good at organising events for the people they care for and The Beeches is always immaculately maintained. I cannot praise them highly enough.

My husband, Brian Savage, was in The Beeches for 13 months up to his death on Christmas Day 2017. Throughout that time the care he has received has been exemplary. All the carers were friendly, efficient, and loving towards the residents and visitors alike. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
They worked hard to make a fun atmosphere in what could have been a difficult place for many. There was plenty of stimulation by visiting entertainers and the Activities Organiser was always coming up with fresh ideas on how to make the residents' lives better. The food was very good and varied. The cleanliness of the place excellent. The Manager was obviously very hands-on and knew all the residents personally.
During the final days of my husband's life, the care I received was wonderful. Top Marks to The Beeches. I highly recommend you! And thank you all for making our closing months together so bearable.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.480)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.480) out of 10 for The Beeches 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.480 for The Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.48

  • 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 is based on 15 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
