Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our family had to make the difficult decision to place my father in a care home six years ago and we are so grateful that he was able to spend his final years at Beckside.
The staff showed nothing but kindness and compassion towards my father throughout his stay and it is a testament to their professionalism
and expertise that we were able to spend so much precious time with him. They kept him safe during all the various lockdowns and have continued to work so hard throughout in some exceptionally testing circumstances.
All the staff - housekeepers, kitchen staff, carers, administrators, maintenance, managers and nurses - always took the trouble to get to know us and Dad, treating him with dignity and respect. In his final days, we were so touched by the number of staff who took the time out of their busy day or at the end of their shift to visit Dad in his room and spend a few minutes with him. They showed my father and our family the meaning of the word 'care'.
Thank you.

Our mum came to Beckside for end-of-life care. The kindness, attention and care she received was outstanding.
With such nursing care, Mum rallied and became a permanent resident and stayed two and a half years!
In Mum's words, 'I am very happy here, everyone is so kind. The food delicious and entertainment
great'.
She never felt alone and she felt safe.
Even in her final moments, she was surrounded by familiar staff. Thank you one and all Beckside.

A close friend I had looked after for many years had to go into a care home we chose Beckside. She was only there a few weeks but she could not have been in a better place. It's like a big family, the staff are wonderful so caring and thoughtful at all times, nothing was ever too much trouble. The place
itself is bright and cheery and being on one level was perfect, they have regular entertainment on and activities and you can visit when you like. When looking for a care home Beckside is the perfect place, so very happy we found it.

Words cannot express the praise I have for Beckside sufficiently. In my past role as a social care tutor, I have seen many residential care homes. None of them remotely match Beckside in care standards. Visiting Beckside is a joy because there is an overwhelming feeling of love and happiness. There
is a family atmosphere, excellent teamwork and standards of care. One word summarises Beckside, it is love. Thank you so much.

Great residential and respite care home situated in a quiet part of North Hykeham, Lincoln. Our dad's care was excellent. All staff genuinely care. Dad enjoyed the social element of the home, the activities and entertainment were very beneficial to him. The nursing and care staff I met and who looked
after my dad were lovely people. He couldn't have spent his last few months anywhere better.

Dad was looked after in Beckside for a total of 20 months with a break in the middle. The staff are so kind and caring, always ready to talk to you even though they are busy. Accommodation is clean with various types of room available. Having experienced three other care homes over the last few years,
Beckside is far superior.

My brother was admitted for end-of-life care. He was treated with the utmost dignity by the staff, who were excellent in every department. Nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere of the home exuded happiness and good humour. Home is the correct title for this facility, which is run in a professional

My dad was looked after by the staff at Beckside for the last 3 weeks of his life. The home is immaculate, the staff are the most caring and compassionate people I could have wished to be looking after my dad. Nothing was too much trouble and they didn't just look after him they looked after us too.
Fate took us to Beckside so the staff could take care of him!

My Nanna spent 3 months in Beckside to rehabilitate after a short stay in hospital. She settled so well at Beckside and loved the staff and they treated her so well. They are so caring, fun and respectful to the needs of the residents, nothing was too much trouble for them. There were different activities
every day for everyone to join and the lady that runs the entertainment loves to have fun and get everyone involved. Nanna loved her time in Beckside and she thrived and when her health deteriorated she wanted to stay with her Beckside family around her rather than go back to hospital. When the end was near all the staff at Beckside couldn’t have been more supportive and accommodating to her family and made us feel welcome at any time of the day. They really cared about giving their resident the best experience and I can honestly say they delivered 100%. I can not recommend them more highly - thank you to all the team!

Reply from Rowen Campbell, On behalf of the team at Beckside

It was an honour for our team to care for your nanna and I'm so glad she enjoyed being here. We really do appreciate you taking the time to write us a review; I will make sure the team sees your comments as I know it means a lot to them and they care so much for our residents. I'm glad too that we were able to support you and your family as well.

Beckside Nursing Home is a team. A team that offers outstanding care, support and professionalism of the highest order. My mum's recent stay, prior to her sad passing, is full of wonderful care that meant her entire time at Beckside was a blessing to her and also to us. Words like care, support and
dignity are overused by some care homes, here it is and understatement. I cannot thank Beckside enough. Outstanding.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Beckside 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 16 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 4.892 for Beckside is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 185 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 Beckside 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
