I am always kept informed of any issues. Staff are friendly and helpful. Given good standard of care and support to myself and my Relative. If any treatment of illness is required I know that it would be given.

The manager and her team have been a fantastic support for my family over the last few weeks. The care/support has been amazing. They have made what could have been a difficult transition very easy. They have accommodated the whole family and we all now feel as if we are part of the bigger Barchester
family.
Every member of staff is friendly, always has a smile on their faces and nothing is too much trouble.

Following almost a year of hospital in 2022 and a stay in another rehabilitation centre, it has been like a breath of fresh air coming to the lovely Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home for respite care. Have been looked after well both day and night. My thanks to all.

Dad was in residential care for six months and at all times was treated with respect and received the care he required. The end-of-life care provided to dad was exemplary as was the care shown to the family before and after dad passed away.

The quality of the care at the Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home is extremely high, there is plenty of staff and in addition to routine care, requests and needs are always met promptly and cheerfully. The food is excellent - the menu changes daily and each meal is served with a fresh linen
napkin. Facilities include dining rooms, sitting rooms and spa bathrooms. Cleanliness keeps the high-quality furnishings immaculate and each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. A dedicated team of three produce a daily programme of activities for residents.
Criticism is difficult because the home is geared toward looking after its residents in the best possible way and making sure that all their needs are met. If a care home is needed, it is difficult to imagine a better one than the Barchester at Stamford Bridge.

My mum has been at the Beaumont for just over two years, and the care and attention she receives are second to none. The staff are absolutely amazing and are always so cheerful, even in the most difficult of times. They really do care about all the residents and are always there to help if needed. My
mum's quality of life has improved, and I am very grateful to the manager and her team for looking after my mum.

My wife came to Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home for a fortnightly period of respite, principally to enable me, her principal carer to have my first break in four years of caring for her. She has vascular dementia and no cognition and has required 24-hour wrap-around care, achieved by a
mixture of live-in care and domiciliary care (on an hourly visit basis). It was a huge relief to find my wife settled in very easily, thanks to the love and attention of the staff. The main crunch was that I was privileged to eat with her, it was first class, and great care had been taken to get her difficult diet absolutely right for her. Her eating improved enormously while she was in Beaumont Care Home, so I think they did a wonderful job to make her feel at home. Well done, team.

Massive thank you for looking after my husband who passed away peacefully on 19th June 2022. The staff at Beaumont have been so loving to my husband.

My dad has been at Beaumont for a few weeks after moving him from a previous care home. He has advanced dementia but is physically reasonably able so we wanted somewhere that he would be occupied as well as being well looked after. I have to say I am so pleased with how well my dad has settled here.
He says that he is very happy and would like to stay forever. He is always very happy when we visit him and seems to be really enjoying his meals!
Everyone we have met at Beaumont has been unfailingly helpful and pleasant and we are very happy that we have chosen Beaumont for his care

Since my husband was admitted to the nursing home we have all been treated with respect and kindness (with the exception of one male member of the nursing staff). I was very unhappy to have my husband taken out of my personal care but have been more than content with the care he is receiving in this
home. I could not carry on caring for him at home. I'm glad we found this nursing home.

My aunty was a resident for the last 18 months. It was a decision not taken lightly by the family, however, this was the best decision. From the moment she went in she was happy. She does have quite a lot of family both in Yorkshire and down south, frequent visits from us down south were not possible
(covid etc) however, I must say this did not deter the home from keeping everyone informed of how she was settling in and how she was doing. She deteriorated towards the end of last year and the home ensured the family were kept up to date with all relevant information. Unfortunately, she passed away late on 7/1/22. The home ensured we were kept up to date, we tried to make it but didn’t. We continued so we could see her in her own bed, the home was more than amenable and when we arrived at 0200, she had been laid out beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble and small requests we made regarding jewellery etc were upheld immediately. This is a perfect home for both the resident and family.

Reply from Emma Smith, General Manager at Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Thank you for your feedback, Steve. I will share it with all the staff who looked after your aunty. Please extend our condolences to all your family for the loss of your loved one.

My close friend went to the Beaumont for a four/six weeks respite stay. The Beaumont offered her an en-suite room but this was not to be her room, only had a toilet and small washbasin portioned off in the corner of her small bedroom. No shower or bath.
She asked for a move but they could not offer
any other room.
After six weeks she asked to leave to go to another residential home where she was offered an en-suite and much larger room with a lovely garden view.
The Beaumont made various excuses why she could not leave. I had to ask the social worker for help and in their opinion, there was absolutely no reason why she could not straight away this took fourteen weeks to achieve.
The Beaumont kept her there against her wishes for financial gain at £1090 per week. She also did not need nursing care. She requested a discount for the en-suite room she did not get but they refused. Her showering arrangements meant being escorted to a shared shower on the floor above. Do not go.

Reply from Feedback Team, The General Manager at Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Dear Terry,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear your experience with Stamford Bridge did not meet your expectations and are surprised at the sentiment of your review. Your friend had spoken to me directly and explained she had no problem with our home but that she was moving to expand the activities available on site. Should your friend or you have any outstanding concerns, you can call me or my team directly, to discuss in further detail, and hopefully action any improvements for the future. I would also like to assure you we take the welfare and safety of all our residents very seriously and when necessary we will involve outside authorities to help protect the best interests of the resident which can cause delays, I hope you understand this is not taken lightly and always with the residents’ safety, health and happiness in mind. Please feel free to contact us on the following; Phone: 01759 371418 or email: stamfordbridge@barchester.com.
Kind Regards

My husband stayed for three weeks of respite care. He was so well looked after by the staff and settled quickly. He enjoyed having people around him and became more sociable with more interaction. He thoroughly enjoyed the food and even put some weight on. His room was well appointed and everywhere
was clean and well kept. But the staff were the real stars. They put him at ease and ensured he was as contented as possible. I am booking him in for another stay in the spring.

Every single member of staff in the residential care unit has been so kind, patient, helpful and supportive to my husband and family members who visit him. My husband is treated with respect and dignity as are all the residents and all staff go over and above just doing a 'job'.
There is not much difference
between the words care and caring. Good care is essential but when good care is given by caring people then you have the perfect combination.

My sister-in-law has been in the Beaumont now for 18 months. She has had wonderful care. I have observed many homes over the years and the Beaumont is one of only two I would recommend to anyone in the area. The staff are welcoming and friendly trying their best to make residents feel at home. There
are lots of trips, musical entertainments and visits from animals too. The food is amazing and in the lounge there are facilities for drinks and snacks. My sister-in-law has dietary needs and now she is adhering to a proper diet which has improved her health. All residents are different, some are shy and retiring but whatever their demeanour they are treated well and encouraged to interact should they feel they want to. The staff and management are always there to answer any questions I might have, I am happy to leave my sister-in-law in their capable hands.

After an easing of lockdown, I was able to visit my sister-in-law inside the Beaumont. The rules for the safety of residents, staff and visitors were in place and effective. I have been visiting Beaumont regularly for a number of years, I find the management staff and residents friendly and happy. After
lockdown, I found the residents were outgoing and happy there are always activities on the go, birthday parties, celebrations and trips out. The menus are displayed in the entrance and the food always looks and tastes appetising. The whole building is clean tidy and beautifully decorated, the dining room looks like a hotel. The staff are caring and go out of their way to make residents and visitors feel welcome and most importantly ‘wanted’. Nothing is too much trouble.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) out of 10 for Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.747 for Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 245 Ratings = 4.747

  • 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 Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home is based on 20 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 94 registered maximum number of service users is 18.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
