The home has a very calm and happy atmosphere. The residents are very contented and the staff so caring and friendly. The management and staff are going over and above to make Dad feel settled and welcome for which my family are extremely grateful in difficult circumstances.

My experience is that the staff do a difficult job and there is a good general atmosphere. I am sure facilities could be further improved with more financial injection. My mother in law is self-funded and costs seem high but seem par.

Everyone is very caring - (They look after my mother). They look after me. I cared for my mother for 5 years, I handed my mother over and finally, let her go. Everywhere is clean and smells really fresh. There are nice touches everywhere. It feels like home. Home and gardens in nice setting.

Beechcare is set in such a tranquil location that from the moment you arrive til you leave you feel relaxed and at ease. You are always welcomed with a smile. The home is always clean, tidy and well presented, as are all the staff who work here. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. All facilities
here are outstanding, from fabulous old time memorabilia to the social areas and kitchen, which is always open for refreshments. I love my visits here to see my mum. She is very well cared for and that means the world to myself and my family.
I highly recommend Beechcare to everyone, as your loved one couldn't be in a better, loving, caring, hands. Thank you Beechcare.

My father has been in the home for over a year now, it has taken a while for him to settle into the rooms. The staff have been very helpful and are open to suggestions regarding the care of my father.
The management listen if you have any issues (which is rare) and will implement any suggestions if
possible.

Nan is so happy here, she has now been here a year and the home has continued to provide a lovely home where she has been able to be independent with the things she can do, while at the same time they support her with dignity and respect with the things she can't do.

I came to see my mother as I do most days and was pleased to see the sister in charge taking out time to sit with my mother to feed her Sunday lunch and have a conversation with her. I took over feeding my mother she was in a good mood today.

It is a lovely welcoming home. The residents always seem busy with activities. I feel happy my nan is at Beechcare because they look after her and everyone else so well, and have a lot of time for them. Safety and security is brilliant at Beechcare. You can not get in the home without the door code
and if you don't have one there is a bell you ring to be able to get in. Beechcare is always spotless! My nan is always laughing and enjoying herself throughout the day, and has a lovely relationship with the staff and management. My nan likes to get involved with what the staff are up to so they made her a bag with her name on and has called her "boss", she loves it and I thought that was just wonderful!

Beechcare has excellent care and support! The rooms are a decent size and made as their own to make them feel at home. It is always tidy and my granddads room and clothes are always clean! I feel they have lots to do at Beechcare Home with lots of different activities that I can take part in while visiting
my granddad. Everyone in the care home are very friendly and welcoming. Most of all my granddad loves it there and couldn't be happier. Excellent home!!

Beechcare is truly a great care home, the staff are so kind and caring nothing is too much trouble for them. The food menu is appealing to all and plenty is always given. The room is very nice and the view lovely. The home is always clean and tidy. Mum is very happy and contented and when I speak to
other residents, they are happy too. All service provided is excellent and I am more than happy. I visit my mum at different times of the day and every time I visit my observations are always the same excellent!

My nan has been in Beechcare home for over a year now. This was the only home that made her feel very welcome and was excited to move in. The staff are lovely and have a lot of time for the residents. They not only care for them, they make their day fun with activities. My nan's room is amazing! Beechcare
let her make it her home. Food and drink is wonderful and always accommodate for different residents. I could not be more happier that my nan is in such a lovely, friendly safe care home. Staff and management are amazing.

From the time Mum came into this care home. All the staff were welcoming every day. The manager and team were first class. My mum was only in Beechcare for two weeks but they all looked after her, until the day she passed away. Please give Beechcare a first class award for their care.

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.
