This home is like coming to visit my family. Whenever I come they offer me a hot meal and drinks. My husband has been here for six months and he is always cared for as if he's the staff's own parents. He's always well kept, clean and tidy and the staff love him like myself.

Dedicated staff give the best care they are able to. Facilities could be improved with some more private areas for group meetings/family/assessments. Need more tea rounds, need sweetcorn! Unknown value for money, as I do not know how much is paid by NHS.

My son is very well looked after. All the staff do their best and treat residents as individuals. The environment is always clean and welcoming. Time is taken to enable residents to take part in and enjoy activities. Activities are frequent and varied. Relatives and friends are encouraged with open
visiting. It makes such a difference knowing that your loved one is cared for in such a caring environment.

Mum has lived at Beechcare Care Home for four years.
The last year has greatly improved. The home is clean and decorated to high standards.
The staff look after Mum's physical and emotional needs and above all, she is settled and happy.
The management is very approachable and staff are always willing
to help and they seem happy in their job role.

I was anxious when we moved our son there, wondering if we were making the right decision for him but can honestly say I can not fault the loving care and respect towards him. In himself, he does seem so much happier which makes it easier for our family, and dealing with a brain injury resident certainly
isn't an easy task either. Each and every one of them has got my utmost respect for the care they show my son, and I can't thank them enough.

My son, a resident in the care home for nearly three months now, where we visit him daily (11:00-18:00 hours), we believe that he is receiving good care. The nurses and carers are looking after him very well and are always available should he need any assistance. The nurses are heavily committed as
he still needs regular suctioning. He is on peg feeding, so I have no comments about it. Overall, good to very good.

Very good physiotherapy services are also available on site. Overall, we are very happy with the standard of

My sister was in the home for three years being a very difficult time for the whole family due to her deteriorating dementia. The home couldn’t have been more supportive with Covid not even creating a major obstacle. The home is in a beautiful area and thank you Beechcare staff for the amazing care
provided to my sister.

Beechcare Care Home is an excellent home. I did a lot of research before choosing Beechcare and consulted friends in the healthcare industry for their opinion and I am very happy with my choice. My Dad is always clean, tidy, well-kempt, alert, content, he never presents with anything that would cause
concern. When he arrived from hospital, he was so sick that I didn't think he'd make it to Christmas, so it is a testament to the staff that he is still here two years later. Thank you for everything that you do for him.

My father was hospitalised and we were advised that he would not be able to return to his previous care home as he required nursing care. We researched several homes within the local area and after several visits, we decided that the Four Seasons Beechcare Home was our favourite choice.
From the outset,
we have received the most professional, prompt and most importantly, caring levels of service.
My father is now 'home' and we could not be happier to know that he will be cared for as if he was living with us.
Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.600) out of 10 for Beechcare Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.767 for Beechcare Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.767

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beechcare Care Home is based on 11 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.833

  • 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.
