  • 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.

Beach Lawns is a professionally run care home, with kind and friendly staff. They are hard-working carers who do their utmost to ensure the safety and welfare of the residents, especially at this different time. I would recommend this home to other potential clients and their families.

During the period of this review we have experienced the Coronavirus pandemic. This is a real threat and vital danger to the residents of Beach Lawns who are sold and have many underlying conditions.
The home was managed excellently during this time. Understandingly and correctly the home was barred
to visitors in good time and serious infection was prevented. Where residents or carers were tested positive, they were catered for with extreme care and thanks to experienced and excellent management, all survived the vital threat for which we are all grateful.
Contact was allowed during lockdown and, although she resides at the top of the building, the carers happily carried the telephone to my wife and we were able to cheer each other up considerably throughout these trying months. I was extremely grateful to management and carers for their patience and tolerance of my calls.
Otherwise, my wife and her needs are attended to with great care, courtesy and sensitivity.

This is a wonderful, caring, helpful and welcoming home. My son and I felt comfortable from the moment that we walked in to view the home to see if it was suitable for my wife. A lovely lady took us to the dining room where we had a long talk about the home and the facilities it offered. We were then
given a tour and shown the room that was available. We had looked at another home earlier but it didn't feel right, here we both felt welcome and that my wife would be well cared for. She moved in the next day. Unfortunately, she was only there for five days. During that time the staff were wonderfully caring and professional, always having time to talk to us. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. When my wife died they were all very supportive and made a very difficult time more bearable. Had she lived longer, we both would have been very happy for her to stay at this amazing home from home. It is a magnificent building filled with magnificent staff. We thoroughly recommend it.

Thank you for such a wonderful review, and I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. It is wonderful to hear that you felt supported throughout her time with us - I will be sure to pass this onto Lyn and the team, they will really appreciate such kind words. Best wishes, Fae.

When your husband and self are separated, it is traumatic and heartbreaking, however, the staff and management at Beach Lawns made this transition as painless as it is possible. They continue to support, not only my husband but myself as well and continue to care for both of us. It was a good day when
we discovered Beach Lawns.

All the staff in the home - management, admin, carers and nurses are very friendly, helpful and take really good care of my dad. My mum was also a resident in the home but sadly died earlier this month. Since then, the carers have shown great compassion to my father and helped him through a very distressing
time. The manager is very flexible, understanding and is always willing to help out with special requests where possible.

Since the beginning of my residence, I can find no fault in any department of Beach Lawns. The cleaners are conscientious in their work. The care staff are, at all times on hand to help, give advice and are stoic if a resident has a family bereavement. The management can not (in my humble opinion) be
faulted in the way that they quietly, yet diligently look after every aspect of the running of the home, making sure that all is well at the changing of shifts, and any queries are fully answered before the next group take over.

We needed to place 97-year-old mother in care urgently when being discharged at short notice from hospital after surgery for a fall at her home.
Mother had always been very resistant to giving up her own home.
The hospital failed badly on discharge, but Beach Lawns picked up the ball and performed
superbly with a very wary and frightened new arrival and within 24 hours she has not looked back and calls it her home.

The staff and management are all efficient and caring, which is very important when considering that it is going to be your mums home from now on. The room is good, rather small but as my mum is bedridden there is no extra room needed.


A special chair to make my mums life a bit more comfortable was

arranged and I am extremely satisfied with it and mum seemed rested in it. The carers are very kind and mum talks of them fondly.
I would like to see my mum dressed in her nightie for the night and fully dressed in the day.

A very well located home on the sea front, on level ground, with a small rear garden and a gate leading into a lovely park.


The home is well run with a 'hands on' manager who leads an excellent staff.


A recent change of chef has led to a fall in quality of food, this problem is being addressed.

A change in activities leader is a similar problem, which I'm sure will improve.

My mother became a resident of memory lane in June 2016. Memory Lane is a small dementia unit within Beach Lawns. As you enter memory lane there is a sign "home is where the heart is". This is very true of this unit, the staff are caring and kind to all residents, plus residents families are welcomed
into this family and given support from day one. Christmas 2016 was a fine example, prior to Xmas day residents various enjoyable days, carol singing, visit to pantomime, Xmas fair. On Xmas day families were welcome to stay for lunch, residents had their own stockings from the unit just because it's a dementia unit, Xmas was lovely and all residents enjoy raising a glass. If you are looking for a home that brings care and laughter Beach Lawns is that home.

We didn't want dad to go into a home, although we realised this was the only option and looked at several before deciding on Beach Lawns. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and they did everything to make dad comfortable. The staff were fantastic, caring for both dad and his family.
Dad sadly passed away at the home and the staff couldn't have done more for us all. Dad's last days were comfortable and calm.

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.
