Thank you for your heartfelt review. It is encouraging to hear how welcome you feel when visiting and that our quality of care and compassion to residents and visitors alike are at a standard everyone deserves. We encourage our residents to walk around our home and interact with others it is truly a home from home. Our exercise classes are a hit where everyone and anyone is encouraged to join in, however if some quiet time is needed residents rooms are always a comforting place to return to.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, as you know your partner knew many of the staff at Beechgrove and from the moment he came to us, he was part of "our family" he settled well and interacted with staff and residents alike, his smile and sense of humour was so infectious, everyone just loved him. When a resident settles so well, it is a comfort to the family and a great satisfaction to ourselves and the care that we provide.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Beechgrove 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.901 for Beechgrove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.901
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 Beechgrove Care Home is based on 24 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 24 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.
