My mum was a resident for just over seven years. Our experience, as a family, has been a positive one (apart from Covid). Mum was happy at Beeches Care Home which meant we were happy and could relax. To the end, the staff showed love, care, respect, nothing was too much trouble. Outstanding.

I can not speak too highly of Beeches Care Home. My son, having been diagnosed with terminal cancer spent his last months here and he could not have been cared for better by everyone. Nothing was too much trouble. The wonderful managers set the atmosphere here and every member of staff was caring, friendly,
hard-working and treated my son like a member of their own family. They were also welcoming to us and it has been an enormous comfort to us knowing that he was in such safe and caring hands.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Beeches Care Home

The care received by my dad was amazing. The whole team looked after him so well in all aspects and respect to his illness. The added welcome that I was also given when visiting made me feel at ease too, and nothing was ever too much.
Great team work all-round.

My sister came to Beeches Care Home after many years living in one room in her house. She was lonely - hardly ever saw the outside - but still had to be encouraged to move to Beeches. From the moment she arrived, it was obvious how happy she was being cared for, feeling safe and her health needs being
met, she had other people to have conversations with and her health needs (especially her lymphoedema) were met, healing which was miraculous. My sister had the very best life possible while at Beeches.

I am very pleased with Mum's care since she moved in to the home in July. Mum continues to decline in various ways, but is looked after very well and all her needs are met by all the staff. Mum can be challenging at times, but the staff are very good with her, which puts my mind at rest. I am well informed
by the staff of everything about Mum's GP visits, medication changes etc. The care home Manager is very caring and the admin lady has been very helpful to me.

My mother was in the care home for a short time only, and while she was there, we found the staff to be very kind and helpful, especially when my mother was coming to the end of her life, and all the family were visiting and staying throughout the day and night.
We were also looked after and treated
with respect and kindness.
I cannot speak highly enough of the home.

Mum was only in the Beaches for a short time, before she sadly passed away. All the staff were very friendly and helpful from the very first day Mum arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. We were able to visit at any time. They engaged Mum with activities and encouraged her to mix and join in with other
residents. When Mum was on her last few days, they were so respectful of Mum and our family. They treated us all like a member of their own family.

So far all has been good or excellent. Manager and admin have answered all of my many questions. I stayed for lunch one day and the food was excellent and plenty of it, too much for me but my brother cleared my plate.
It is early days but my brother is happy there and that is enough for me.

During my mother's final three weeks at Beeches Care Home, the staff's compassion and professionalism were a source of immense comfort. The living arrangements were thoughtfully designed, providing a homely atmosphere that prioritized residents' well-being.
Beeches stood out in fostering a sense of
community, organizing activities that not only stimulated residents but also encouraged social interaction. The medical care was exceptional, with a skilled nursing staff ensuring my mother's health needs were met with care and sensitivity.
In a difficult time, Beeches not only cared for my mother but supported our family, providing emotional solace. The staff's unwavering commitment to dignity, compassion, and genuine connection makes Beeches a commendable choice for those seeking quality care.

Although Mum had lived at the Beeches Care Home for only six months before she passed away, we found the home to have a very pleasant atmosphere with caring, compassionate and dutiful staff. All staff engaged with her and the other residents and did their best to ensure Mum was comfortable.

The only challenge I have is mum's hearing aids being put in the wrong ears and a couple of members of staff not answering me when I asked a question, ignoring relatives is not good. Mum is happy in the Beeches.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Beeches Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns on carehome.co.uk.
We are sorry your Mum experienced issues with the fitting of the hearing aids and you have experienced communication issues with colleagues. We have held staff meetings and reminded colleagues how important it is for our residents to have their hearing aids fitted correctly and encouraged the colleagues that have newly started employment with us, to offer relatives reassurance and ask support from the nurse in charge or any other senior colleagues when needed.
Please again accept my sincere apologies for the discomfort caused to yourself and your Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.707)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.707) out of 10 for Beeches Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 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 4.707 for Beeches Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.707

  • 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 Beeches 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, 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.
