My brother passed away on the 4th of March after spending 8 weeks with you. I cannot fault Beaumont at all. My brother had learning difficulties. Staff treated him with dignity and compassion, right up until he passed away.

My mother was only at the Beaumont for a few days, but as a family, we were very impressed with the quality of her care, how great all of the staff were and the serenity of the surroundings. If only she could have got there sooner. My mother was treated with the utmost dignity and respect in her final
days. Thank you.

I wouldn't recommend this home, my dad was in there for 3 weeks, when he went in he could walk with a walking frame, when he left 3 weeks later to go back into hospital he couldn't walk, and he passed away a week later.
He also got a severe telling off for ringing his buzzer too much, and on 2 occasions
when I went to see him his buzzer wasn't in reach. He also got told one afternoon not to ring his buzzer until 4pm as the staff had training. While he was there he had only 1 shower, and never saw anyone for activities. Also, there are no communal lounges.

Reply from Joanne James, Area Manager at Beaumont Nursing Home

Your father was admitted on a temporary basis as a discharge to assess patient with a view to source a permanent place elsewhere. Your father could transfer only with a Zimmer frame as was the case when he was admitted to hospital due to adverse blood tests and multiple co-morbidity's. During your father's stay you made no complaints and actually requested he remain at the home.
Following his admission to hospital you made several accusations to relevant bodies alleging neglect/acts of omission. Following an investigation concerning your accusations these were found to be unsubstantiated. He was on a call bell chart, this is common practice to evidence funding. The activity co-ordinators log evidence the input he received was according with his wishes and needs. He was comfortable in his room and never once asked to go into one of our 2 lounges or conservatory.

The staff are really friendly and keep me updated at all times regarding my dad's health and wellbeing. He is very happy to be at the home. He loves the food. His hygiene is so much better now he is getting help and support. He has a lovely room with a TV and his own sink and toilet. It was recently
decorated. The staff always laugh and joke with him which he loves. They try to encourage him with activities but he quite likes his own space in his own room.

My mother has been a resident here for nearly two years now. She has received nothing but kind and compassionate care from the staff at the home. She is treated with dignity and respect, and staff have made adjustments for her dietary needs (vegetarian) making sure she has a good choice of food healthy
food that she can manage to eat herself. She has formed a good relationship with all her carers and the manager who regularly chats with my mother. Communication has been absolutely brilliant with the staff who have kept me and my family regularly updated with Dr visits etc. The home is very clean and well maintained. This home has provided outstanding care and my mother is very happy here. As a family, we feel completely confident in my mother's care here

My mum was admitted for end-of-life care. She also has Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia. I have been very happy with Mum's care. She always looks clean and tidy and enjoys the view of trees outside her window. The staff are caring, knowledgeable and attentive. The home is clean and tidy. Although Covid
has previously led to strict restrictions and rules, it has been a credit in keeping it at bay. They work very hard to keep up the good work they are doing. The chefs appear to give a very nutritious and varied menu, so a clap for them too.

My mum has been in Beaumont Nursing Home since December after very bad care at the hospital. Since then, she has gained weight even though she is bed bound and can only have purified food. I have found the staff informative and friendly. They always know who you are and who you are there to see and
always have a smile on their face even though the job that they do is a hard job and, in my opinion, not highly recognised enough. The manager is always on hand for a chat if needed and runs the home excellently. I do not worry about my mum as I know she is safe and well cared for and would not hesitate to recommend Beaumont to others. The home is very clean and well cared for.

A ghost town, no one about, very rarely saw staff, rooms too small, facilities inadequate. No communal areas, my mother went from sitting out in a chair in the hospital to being left in a bed 24 hours a day, and the hospitals recommended physio exercises being ignored. The manager was very rude to both
my mother and some of her visitors. Please note - there is a complaint in progress.

Reply from Joanne James RGN, Area Manager Responsible Individual (RI) at Beaumont Nursing Home

The home has adequate staffing levels. This is evidenced by the completion of a national dependency tool. The room this client was in was of a size that met her medical needs. The home has 2 large-sized lounges and a large garden all of which are communal areas. Her pre-existing medical condition did not permit her to be sat in a chair and to do so would have put her at risk of further damage to the pre-existing damaged area. This was following the advice of the physiotherapist. She was assessed by the physiotherapist as having no mobility potential therefore no physio was put in place. Concerning the rudeness of the manager, this very much surprises me. We have received quite the opposite. Clients, relatives and the MDT are nothing but complimentary about the manager and her staff. The complaint has been thoroughly investigated by Northampton County Council and has been found to be "no risk identified and no action taken". All parties concerned were made aware of the outcome.

An excellent home, well managed with staff attentive to the needs of residents. Beaumont has a close-knit staff team who make themselves known to residents and their family. They are very approachable and friendly. The atmosphere is both relaxed and efficient - a difficult combination to get right,
and Beaumont more than manages to achieve this.

The house is bright and cheerful, and well cared for.

My mother has dementia. She has always been a gentle soul. Beaumont has offered a caring, home from home. All staff have become her friends due to them all having time to speak with her and be with her. The manager and Nursing staff have prepared and carried out her medical needs. Always acknowledging
her off days and constantly offering health reviews with her relatives.
Equipment is always available to make life easier, and she will receive care at the home. so hospital A and E visits can hopefully be avoided.
I would be happy suggesting Beaumont to others, the manager works alongside her staff, who are all of long standing. We even had chance to choose what we felt was missing in the home for the visiting relatives. A hot drink station was mentioned. The very next week we find the job has been done. Wonderful.
I would like to say a big Thankyou and say how much good care is appreciated.

I would just like to say thank you to all of the staff at Beaumont but in particular to the nurse who nursed my uncle in the last 10 days of his life. It gave us great comfort to know that he was being looked after so well. She was also very supportive to us during this very difficult time and really
couldn't have done more.
I have no hesitation recommending Beaumont to anyone who is in need of end of life nursing care for their loved ones.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 7.2 (7.159)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.2 (7.159) out of 10 for Beaumont Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 3.677 for Beaumont Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (16 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 31 Ratings = 3.677

  • 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 3.482 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beaumont Nursing Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.357

  • 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.
