The Beeches Care Home is a wonderful place. A home from home. My aunt is extremely happy here and the surroundings match her previous home. The care staff have built wonderful bonds with my aunt. I see this whenever I visit. I am known to each member of staff and they recognise straight away who my
relative is. A testament to getting to know their residents and the residents' relations. Can't recommend the care home highly enough.

The Beeches is an absolute golden find. The location, building and rooms are all wonderful and homely, but what really makes the difference is the staff - all long-standing (no agency) and the friendliest, most caring people you could meet. I really cannot think of anything bad and we are so very grateful
to The Beeches for making our aunt so happy and cared for. Christmas party was superb too!

Mum was very well cared for at The Beeches. All the team from nurses to care staff, tea lady and kitchen staff were so caring and kind to Mum and myself. Our family are all so pleased she passed away with so much care and kindness all around her. A very well managed home.

Without exception the staff are caring, attentive and friendly. The food is exceptional and well-presented offering choices at each meal (including wine), which my mother enjoys. The trained nurses are quick to respond to medical issues and always keep me (as P.O.A) well informed. There is a varied
selection of entertainment which my mother enjoys, but sadly is not well attended by many. Special events throughout the year are never missed and the home is regularly adorned with decorations to mark these events. All in all a very well run and happy home.

My mother's health improved significantly by being looked after by such caring and professional staff. Mother had stayed at The Beeches after a long-term illness and weight loss. After 3 weeks Mum was able to return home having put weight back on because of nutritious meals. Nothing was too much trouble.
The chef prepared meals to suit her individual needs. I would highly recommend The Becches as the staff work well together and there is a nice family feel to the place.

The Beeches is an excellent nursing home and welcoming, bright, spotlessly clean, well decorated and furnished. I have been a resident for a couple of months and could not be in a better home. The staff are cheerful approachable and very caring. They treat with respect and as individuals whose wellbeing
is paramount. There is regular contact with the local GP surgery and any sign of ill health is noted and acted on. Several social activities are organised during the week for residents who wish to attend. Meetings are held for residents to express views and make suggestions for improvement. The food is cooked on the premises all tasty and varied. Recommend the Beeches without hesitation.

I have no complaints about the service provided to my relative and she is very happy and comfortable at the Beeches. From my observations, she is treated respectfully and has a strong bond with regular members of staff. Sadly, she has severe short-term memory problems which means that she can’t remember
if things we have requested on her behalf have been executed or otherwise therefore some type of informal feedback would be welcomed e.g. a planned trip out to a garden centre - did she go, did she enjoy it, did she behave etc. From our point of view, her day-to-day life at the care home is largely a mystery and it would be great if that gap could be filled somehow.

Finding a good nursing home for a loved one is a difficult task. We visited quite a few before choosing The Beeches for my father; what a great choice it turned out to be, all the staff were friendly and attentive, the nursing team are caring and knowledgeable, the food is good and plentiful and the
communication from the nursing team to the family with regular updates was helpful and re-assuring.
My dad enjoyed the regular entertainment that was available most days; the use of the garden room as a venue for dads family to join him for birthday celebrations was an added bonus as was the delicious birthday cake they baked for him.


Based on our experience I would be happy to recommend The Beeches to others.

My mum receives excellent care and support from the wonderful staff team at The Beeches Nursing Home, who understand my mum's needs. The carers are patient and kind - which leads to the home having a welcoming and friendly feel to it. My mum particularly enjoys the entertainers who regularly come into
the home - singers, dancers and musicians! The meals and cakes are really delicious too. I would not hesitate to recommend The Beeches to others.

Caring staff who made a difficult time much more bearable for me. My mother was very happy with every aspect of her care at The Beeches and made her own decision that she would spend her last days there following a career of 30+ years working in the care sector herself.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.897 for The Beeches is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.897

  • 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 10 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 10 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.
