I have found Beech House welcoming and accommodating. Their activities staff and program is outstanding. There are a variety of activities and outings for all the residents.
I love to visit with my Pets as Therapy dog, Millie. She has now become part of the Beech House family.

My nanny was at Beech House for several years and absolutely loved it. She made friends, laughed a lot and the staff called her ‘trouble’ as she was so cheeky. I used to visit with my mum most sundays and the staff were ever so friendly, I loved seeing how happy they made my nanny. It’s so hard to put
into words because beech house did so much for her, and I wish I could repay them back but I don’t know how as I’m only 15. She was on the poplar floor, and please tell the carers on that floor I say thank you so much for everything they have done and after covid, I want to volunteer to help, as they deserve it all. Me and my family are so grateful for everything they have done for her. I volunteered for a bit before covid and absolutely loved talking to the residents and the staff, it’s like one big family. I could never express how lucky I am for her, and where she spent her final years. Thank you so much.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Beech House Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this great review. It is really good to hear that you have good memories of your nanny and her time at Beech House. I am also sure that when we are able to fully open up again after Covid that we would be really pleased to have you come back and volunteer with us again. Please stay in touch and we look forward to seeing you.

Having lived in Beech House for the past eight months, I would thoroughly recommend it to my friends. The care is excellent and the atmosphere welcoming, happy and friendly. The manager mixes with the residents and carers almost all day and is always available to all of us. I count myself very fortunate
to be here.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Beech House Care Home

The staff at Beech House all treated my mother with care and understanding for the entire time she was a resident (nearly 5 years).
Having experienced dementia for the first time, I realise how complicated providing the right care can be. My mother's complex needs were always responded to appropriately.
During
her final days, her care was dignified and compassionate and she was able to die peacefully.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Beech House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to give this positive review. The team will be pleased to hear that you feel they were able to give your mother dignity, compassion and peace at the end of her life.

To all staff at Beech House Care Home.


I would like to thank you all for the wonderful care and nursing that you treated my Mum with while she was at Beech House.


You all treated Mum as a person, an individual, you spent the time to get to know Mum and cared/nursed for her in a way to suit her

best.


During the time I spent at Beech House, it became clear that this is the way that everyone is treated whilst under your care.


It is hard to express my thanks, you all treated my Mum beautifully. And whilst my family and I were going through such a hard time, we were, at all times, treated the same way as my Mum.


Beech House Care Home is made special by all the wonderful, caring people that work there.


And thanks to Chester the home's cat for the hugs.


Thank you all so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Beech House 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.833 for Beech House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 Beech House Care Home is based on 17 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 17 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.

Lucy Bolland

Job Title: Nurse Manager

Joined: 2023

My name is Lucy Bolland, I am the Nurse Manager at Beech House. I have worked for the company for 10 years and worked across three Bristol Care Homes houses working as a nurse as well as a Deputy. My nursing career started in the NHS where I gained experience nursing on surgical wards as well as women’s health. I then moved into care home nursing as this fitted around life with a young family.


Bristol Care Homes has given me many opportunities to develop my career while working in different environments each with their challenges and rewards. As a company, I have always felt supported in my roles and I particularly enjoy working with a dedicated team of staff.


My role involves working with an amazing team and no two days are the same which provides variety and keeps my job interesting while also always having the opportunity to learn and develop. Meeting new people and supporting residents and their families is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.


I live in the local area with my family and enjoy spending time with them and traveling in my spare time.

Job Title: Deputy Nurse Manager

Joined: 2023

My career began back in the 1990s working in a community home as a support worker with clients with learning disabilities. This inspired me to undertake my Nurse training which I completed in Taunton. I have experience within the NHS for over 20 years including theatres, recovery, and ITU. I have also completed training as an anaesthetic practitioner. 2019 led me to a change of direction in elderly care. Since then I have worked up to the role of Deputy Manager I am currently undertaking my Level 5 in Leadership to enhance my knowledge and skills.


Outside of work, my hobbies include walking (I try to walk around 3-5 miles daily and this has all part of a health plan). I have recently begun running but after a clumsy moment and a fall, I am taking a break. I also enjoy playing Lawn Bowls in the summer and Skittles in the winter.


I love to travel whether abroad or in the UK and I like to plan in advance so I have trips to look forward to.
