  • 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 mum has been a resident of Beach Lawns since December 2016. The love and care she receives on a daily basis are second to none. The carers go above and beyond to meet all her needs. Unfortunately she is now bed bound but the carers are still fulfilling her every need, whether she is in bed or out
in a nursing chair enjoying the company of the residents. The entertainment team are wonderful and always include her in activities, she loves listening to music and singalongs. A special thanks to the senior carers on Memory Lane and the new manager who are all very happy to chat to family members. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

My uncle was very well cared for at Beach Lawns Residential Home. He had a lovely room overlooking the beach and was made to feel welcome (as were we, his visitors) by all the staff during his time there. He was a private person who wasn't interested in joining in the activities, he would rather watch
and was allowed to do so. The staff made time to chat with him instead. I felt his needs were very well catered for.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother has recently used Beach Lawns for respite care. She has been living with me and my husband for the last 2 and a half years and we all really needed a break. Mum had some reservations about entering into respite care as she has no dementia, but does have poor mobility issues. She agreed to
give it a try. What a triumph! She absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing with her giving her the best attention possible. She has a beautiful room with a fabulous sea view. She has several activities during the week including crafting and quizzes. She has like-minded people of her own age (87) to talk to and a lovely building to live in, comfortable lounges and a garden area. She would admit herself she is quite fussy with food but this too is also a triumph and particularly raves over the chicken dinner and homemade cakes brought around mid-afternoon. The manager is approachable and efficient, as are the staff. I simply cannot fault Beach Lawns and know mum is well taken care of there.

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

Wow-what a glowing review - thank you! Your kind words are so appreciated, and it's wonderful to hear how well your mum is doing with us, especially given her original concerns. We do hope if it is ever needed again, your mum will have no reservations in choosing Beach Lawns for some respite care. Thank you! Best wishes.

My father has been a resident for over five years and has always received good care and respect. During the pandemic they have made sure he was vaccinated very early on and received his second one on time. The family receives a newsletter regularly showing news and up to date information on visiting
rules but also photographs of the residents taking part in activities. I have had no problems seeing my father, at first I was in the garden and he was inside, then behind screens in the conservatory and now tested and full PEE but no screen. The carers bring him on time and fetch him later on. I can now visit his room with full protection. I have complete faith in all staff and do have to worry about his care.

I believe that the standard of care at Beach Lawns is extremely high, but of course, I have not been able to visit my mother properly since she was taken-in in September last year. It is, therefore, impossible to gain an accurate picture of how things are done there. However, my telephone conversations
with the staff are always very helpful and they all appear to be very attentive and kind!
My comments below are, consequently, based on the feeling I have regarding the care and not on actual experience!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My dad was brought here at the young age of 65 with a palliative condition. He received the most wonderful care and his death here was dignified. The nurses and the carers were outstanding and it isn't just a job for them, they really do go above and beyond. During a covid lockdown, they ensured that
my dads immediate family could find a way to say goodbye. The care Dad received was adapted to his needs, as he was quite young and independent. His condition deteriorated quickly and the care/nursing staff adapted their way of working.
The meals looked fabulous (Dad certainly enjoyed them!!), he requested lots of coffee and always received one with a smile and the staff took the time to talk to him and get to know him.

My Mum joined the care home a week before lockdown. She has dementia so was confused and distressed. The carers phoned me to talk to her to help her but they also talked to me to reassure me that most of the time she was happy. No matter who picks up the phone, they know my Mum and from the beginning
have treated her like one of their own family. She is now settled and happy and I don't get the frantic phone calls anymore. I cannot praise or thank all the staff enough for taking such care of my Mum.

The Beach Lawns have been amazing with helping mum settle in following a long stay in hospital. During the pandemic the staff made mum feel most welcome and mum is very much enjoying it there. The food is fantastic and the care home takes pride in events such as the Queens Birthday which mum enjoyed.
All the effort the staff put into these events clearly make the residents happy and make this care home a place you would want to stay.

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.
