  • Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home, Weston-super-Mare
Beach Lawns is a beautiful home in a stunning location, overlooking the beachfront of Weston-Super-Mare.

It’s the team, who are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, which make this home stand out. The highly experienced staff provide residential, dementia, nursing and palliative care, they also provide respite care breaks, which can be booked in advance.

The home is thriving, with so many activities to enjoy, from bespoke, one-to-one sessions, to fabulous group activities. One of the residents runs his own quiz, there’s karaoke, dancing, crafts, cake decorating and games galore.

The team are passionate about exploring the life histories of their residents and finding out what brings them joy, so they can enrich their lives. One resident recently marked his 106th birthday with an interview with the BBC on his miraculous survival when his plane crashed into the sea.   

The environment at Beach Lawns is stunning, with beautiful bedrooms with ensuite walk-in wet rooms, spacious lounge areas, many of which have period features, and a hair salon, for regular appointments with a mobile hairdresser.

The gardens are a wonderful place to relax, with a sun terrace and direct private access to the neighbouring Clarence Park. This summer the residents have even been growing their own produce.

The local community are embraced into life in the home, with regular Holy Communion and visitors – and the residents love their regular trips to the Salvation Army.

The team, many of whom have been with the home for over ten years, champion the residents and their loved ones to have a very active role to play in how their home is run. Resident ambassadors love to welcome new residents and their families, as well as providing feedback on everything from the activities to the menus.

In the dining rooms they enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals, with home baking every day for afternoon tea.

My auntie was taken into emergency care on Christmas Eve at 4.30 in the afternoon, had it not been for the wonderful, amazing staff, she would not have survived. I had the pleasure of meeting them all on the 15th January and all I can say is wow, they go above and beyond not only for the residents but
for their families also.
Cannot thank them all enough, each and every one of them. I came away feeling content in the knowledge of knowing my aunt is cared for. Thank you.

My brother arrived at Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home in the summer, looking thin and gaunt and fragile and very confused. Each time I have visited, he has improved. On my latest visit, he was better than ever. So happy and well and contented.
I know that this is thanks to all the care and
personal attention you have given to him. I cannot come too often but I know when I leave him he is in good hands.
With many thanks.

My family have been very happy with the care my mother received during her three years at Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home.
She was treated with kindness and consideration and was lucky enough to make some good friends amongst the residents.
The staff ensured that she remained in the unit
where she felt most comfortable and had the support of her friends.
We always felt we could approach the staff with queries or concerns and were always listened to with patience and understanding.

In the three-plus years that my mother lived in Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home, it was so reassuring to know she was being well looked after. Any concerns that cropped up could be discussed with the staff and dealt with promptly. Everyone there was very caring and supportive. My mother also
made good friends amongst the other residents and that was lovely to see.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beach Lawns to anyone and would like to thank all of the staff for their care and support.

Super care home, the place was always clean and well-maintained with pleasantly decorated surroundings. Residents have a variety of activities and are well looked after.
That said, the stand-out stars are the staff, all were very caring to Mum and seemed happy in their work, thank you to five members
of staff, in particular, and all their colleagues for looking after Mum.

My nan has been a resident in the dementia unit at Beach Lawns since June 2023 and is very happy there. Having cared for her before she moved here, it gives great peace of mind knowing that she is being so well cared for and is happy. The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble for them.
It is lovely to see her joining in with the daily activities and seeing what the residents have been up to on the daily posts on their social media page. Nan has a lovely bedroom overlooking the seafront and it is like a home from home. There is a large conservatory which leads to a nice garden, and is great for getting her outside in the summer months. The food is very good and there is a great choice available. I would highly recommend Beach Lawns.

My mom lived at Beach Lawn Home for over four years and recently passed while in the fast-track program nursing area. Overall, I was very pleased with her care. The staff was very caring and provided good care while in the main living area. I lived abroad, and when visiting, I found the home to be very
clean, tidy and overall professionally managed. If your loved one transfers to the nursing section of Beach Lawns, and you live a distance away, I would recommend arranging to have relatives or close friends visit regularly. In addition, we hired professional caregivers to visit regularly. Initially, when my mom transitioned into the nursing section, her room window was left open all night during December and was discovered the next morning by a relative - the room was extremely cold. In addition, bathing care was not the best, as her hands and bed sheets were found to be soiled. After talking with the administrator (the second-in-command main administrator was out of the office), the situation was corrected.

Thank you for your review. We were very proud to care for your mother in the years she was with us. I can assure you that the dignity of our residents is paramount, and our personal care is of a very high standard. Sometimes residents will have a mishap, and we are very quick to react when this happens. We also regularly check our residents through the night, which includes checking the temperature in their bedrooms. In terms of the professional carers hired, we were happy to recommend these in light of the one-to-one support you wished your mother to have around the clock.

I find the staff at Beach Lawns Care Home helpful and friendly. When I visit the care home to pick up my father, the staff are always willing to help, eg, by providing access through the lounge and opening the door so we can get to the car park. Many times I have asked the staff for help, and they have
always been willing to help.

The manager needs more training on how best to communicate better with the families of the service users she cares for. She does not conduct herself professionally and gives the impression she does not care as long as the money service users is being paid. Now my relative is in a new care home, they
can see a massive difference between a good home to a great home which the care home they were at previously does not seem to strive for. Funny how nothing has been pinched!? Some of the staff gave my relative cold showers and laughed. When they were challenged, they asked my relative why they had done that which falls under intimidation. Giving constant jam sandwiches is not looking after someone’s health. The call unit to call for assistance was constantly wrapped in cable and was not plugged in. The home’s laundry service needs to be improved as giving the wrong clothes could be contamination. Leaving someone in a room with a small desk fan when we have a heatwave is not good especially when it’s not communicated properly and then having their staff lie about it.
I cannot fault some staff like the night time nurse and a head nurse.

Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.606)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.606) out of 10 for Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 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 16 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 4.630 for Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.63

  • 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 4.976 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beach Lawns Residential and Nursing Home is based on 16 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 82 registered maximum number of service users is 16.4. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.976

  • 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.
