My mum has come from seven weeks in hospital. Her needs changed so came from residential to Beechcroft. I only have first impressions so far but this has been second to none. The manager was welcoming, kind and informative. All the staff were lovely and nothing was too much. One member of staff made
her room homely before she arrived. This has made the move to nursing care so much easier because the staff are lovely. It also smells lovely and fresh and is spotless. I can't comment on food as she hasn't eaten yet but if the rest of this is to go by, I assume this will be good.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Beechcroft

Thank you very much for your kind comments and ratings. They work so hard to ensure that new residents are given a warm welcome to the home and it is appreciated when this is highlighted in a review. Kind regards.

Highly recommend Beechcroft nursing home. My grandad is being looked after by such caring and genuine care workers and nurses. The staff take the time talking to my grandad and treat him with respect and dignity. He is cared for so well, and his appetite has improved a lot which is a credit to the chef/cook
as the meals are always wholesome meals and tailored to his needs. Each member of staff from the carers/nurses right through to the admin team all take the time to actually know my grandad by name. Thank you Beechcroft nursing home I know my grandad is in safe hands.

Thank you for taking the time to review Beechcroft so highly. We are so delighted your grandad has settled in well with us and is enjoying his time as part of our We Care Family.

Overall it is a friendly, smooth-run community. However, a shortage of staff on occasion makes it difficult to monitor all aspects of the home and its residents. Staff do a good job and the new activities coordinator is a great asset to the team. Improvements have started in the quality of meals, compared
to when Dad first arrived.

Reply from Lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Beechcroft

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review for Beechcroft. We would like to reassure you that the home is staffed to the level required for the number of residents living in the home, taking into account their care needs. The occupancy has increased slightly over the last few weeks and a resulted we have increased our staffing accordingly. The manager would be happy to discuss staffing levels in more detail when you next visit.

My elderly mother has been a resident at Beechcroft for the past month. My mother suffers from dementia and is recovering from a broken hip. She is also coeliac. In her time at the home, she has been treated with compassion and care by the marvellous, caring staff. The staff have gone the extra mile
in making sure my mother has settled in quickly. They even arranged a 90th birthday party for our mother. The home has a brilliant team of people working there from the cleaning, handyman, activities coordinator, clerical and caring staff, and it shows as the home is spotlessly clean, well-maintained, well-run, and the residents well cared for. All my family are so happy our mother was granted a place at Beechcroft, and most of all, the care she is receiving.

My dad was a resident at Beechcroft Residential Nursing Home for 10 months after he fell and broke his hip at his home. The high standard of care he received was second to none and nothing was ever too much trouble for the wonderful staff. The home was very clean and fresh, the food was tasty and dad
was always smart and well looked after. No matter what time we called to see dad, we were met with friendliness and an offer of a cuppa! During the last weeks of dad's life, our family was included in all aspects of his care and decision making and we received kindness and support from all the staff. We cannot praise Beechcroft highly enough.

My mother and father were residents at Beechcroft home until their recent deaths. The care staff at the home are extremely hard working and show genuine care, attention and respect for the residents.
In the months leading up to their passing, our family received much support from all staff from management
down. Many went the extra mile (and more!) showing much patience with my father who had dementia. I can't thank them enough.

With living a long distance away, I pop in to see Mum at all hours within reason when I can as I am working through the day. Staff are always so polite and caring. No matter what time I arrive, Mum's room is so clean and tidy and Mum always looks clean and smart. They do all they can for her and I cannot

This is an absolutely fantastic care home. I have moved my grandad from two other homes as he was not happy and neither was I. My grandad has full capacity so is able to tell me himself how happy he is in Beechcroft and how amazing the staff are. Beachcroft is clean, the staff are friendly and so helpful,
the manager is very hands on and will do anything she can to help. I’d highly recommend Beechcroft to anyone of any level of care need. I also find it speaks volumes that a few of Beechcroft's own staff have relatives there too. 10/10.

My aunt was admitted to this caring home on 12th December 2018, in the late stages of bowel cancer, the care she received was excellent in all respects. Beechcroft is spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished, warm and welcoming. The staff at all levels are friendly, professional, caring and dedicated
to the health of residents. While at Beechcroft my aunt's every need was catered for and she slipped away quietly and comfortably, on January 2nd, having received exemplary care. A special mention goes to the manager, whose management and people skills enable the caring environment in this lovely home.

During my father's stay there, the staff in all roles at Beechcroft provided excellent care and displayed obvious concern at a personal, as well as professional level. They were flexible and good humoured when dealing both with my father and his family and always strived to accommodate preferences for
diet, mealtimes, bedtime, etc.. Visiting family were always positively made welcome no matter what time of day or night. My father benefited greatly from the excellent medical care - problems that would otherwise have taken hours to resolve and even lead to hospital stays were dealt with quickly and calmly within the home. I will always be grateful to the staff at Beechcroft for the professional and compassionate way they helped my father and his family at a very difficult time.

My dad had the very best care at Beechcroft. I couldn’t ask for more. The staff are universally dedicated, hard-working, extremely competent and truly caring. They work extremely hard all day long and yet remain cheerful and professional with residents and guests. The staff supported my dad and his
wider family so amazingly well during my dad’s final weeks. The nursing staff were so competent and attentive we could feel very comfortable knowing dad would be quickly looked after if any health issues arose. The staff took the time to get to know each resident and my dad enjoyed their company very much. His final weeks would have been a lot less enjoyable had he not had the benefit of their company. We recommend Beechcroft 100%.

What can I say, thank you a million times for looking after my 65year old mum in the final months of her life. The love and affection shown to my mum was beyond belief and not just to my mum but all residents living there. Staff on every level took real time to chat, love and care for my mum, I would
recommend you to anyone who wants their loved one to receive top class care. I will miss going there myself as it was such a big part of the last 5 months. I can't end this review without mentioning the food as it was fabulous, more like fancy restaurant food than what you would expect in a home. The chefs are amazing and it's lovely that people living in a care home get to enjoy delicious meals every day, it was a big comfort to me as my mum didn't eat for months before going to Beechcroft, then she couldn't get enough, thank you.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.937) out of 10 for Beechcroft 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.639 for Beechcroft is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.639

  • 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 4.298 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beechcroft is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.698

  • 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.
