My dad lives at the care home and is extremely settled there. The staff who care for him go out of their way to make sure his needs are met. At times they go above and beyond their job roles to make sure dad is cared for in the same way we would if we were able to do so. There have been times when dad
has struggled to maintain his ability to understand what is being asked of him. The staff are patient and understanding and give him the time he needs. The unit he resides on is well led and if I have a concern I feel I can approach the unit manager and the problem will be addressed and dealt with as soon as possible.

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

Thank you for your kind words about your dad's care, and how the staff are approachable and support him with good standards. We are very proud of all our carers and I will ensure that they receive the feedback you have left.

My father seems happy in the care of this home. Like everything, some days are excellent, and some days are lacking. I think this is down to the number of staff rather than the quality of care the staff want to provide. They are doing their best. Activities seem to favour certain people and we always
see one lady all over the Facebook feed time and time again.

Reply from Jane Selkirk, Divisional Sales & Marketing Manager at Barchester Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Thank you for your review, and thank you for your kind words in relation to our care staff. It will mean a lot to the team and we will make sure it is sent on to them. I understand it may feel frustrating to not see all of our residents here at Stamford Bridge represented online, however, due to the rules of consent to share photographs publicly we have to be extremely careful which of our residents we share on social media to adhere with capacity and consent guidelines. If there were any concerns you wish to discuss with myself or a member of my team in more detail please do not hesitate to contact us.

I would like to say that the care I am receiving is very good. I have been happy here, the staff are very efficient and I regard them as my extended family. We have craft lessons for which I enjoy for which I do knitting so I am grateful that I can. I have improved and I am very happy here. It is a
lovely care home and very good meals indeed. Top marks for all the staff at Barchester Stamford Bridge.

Since my wife was diagnosed with dementia and had to go into full-time care she has become very contented with life. The staff in the home are all extremely qualified and treat my wife more as a friend than a resident.

I cannot praise the staff highly enough at Stamford Bridge Beaumont. They showed kindness, compassion, and understanding towards Mum, treating her with dignity and respect. They were particularly understanding during her last days, in the difficult situation of lockdown. I have no hesitation in recommending
this care home. Thank you, everyone.

Mum has lived at the home for 8 years and as I live nearby I visit most days. However, during the last 3 months, the home has been in lockdown. It has been extremely difficult for all the family as mum is 98, with very limited mobility and health issues, and skype and other communication provided is
not for her. However, today I am on my 3rd weekly visit today to see her. I have to arrange the meeting in advance with the staff as they have to take place outside, in line with government guidance. But oh how wonderful to see and chat to her again. Whilst it is not the same as normal visiting, for everyone involved in making this possible it is much appreciated. The staff are on hand, chairs etc are sanitised after each visit and it's wonderful to see she looks extremely well. I don't think she has missed me too much either, so well done to all the staff at the home for taking good care of her and keeping me up to date whilst they have been through an extremely difficult time themselves.

Since the lockdown due to Covid19 we have not been able to visit, however, we have been able to telephone and speak to mum, also the staff has kept us informed of any necessary information regarding mum's wellbeing. As soon as visiting was allowed we were able to make an appointment through an email
and this was answered and facilitated in a timely manner. Throughout the months of lockdown the staff have remained, helpful, friendly and professional.

I am grateful to the staff for the care and compassion I believe they give to my mum. It is extremely sad for us as a family that we have been unable to visit our mum during the covid outbreak. We are reassured she is being cared for well and are in regular contact with staff. I would recommend The
Beaumont to other families, the staff are always very supportive.

I haven’t been able to visit Mum, who has dementia, through lockdown understandably. I have spoken daily with the staff, who were always very kind and reassuring. Mum was ill during this time, she has recovered, I can’t thank the staff enough for the care Mum received during a very difficult time for
all.
The staff have sent me photos of Mum, which was a comfort to us all.
I have recently been able to visit mum, outdoors, following covid restrictions, the visits are very well organised.

My mother had to go into respite care for one week and having visited a few care homes in the area, we chose Barchester Stamford Bridge. This is our first experience of care homes and I can't imagine there is a more welcoming, caring one anywhere! The staff are wonderful. The care workers, the dining
room staff, all of them. We are so lucky to have found it.

What a wonderful, caring home for people like my mum who had Alzheimer's. I cannot begin to praise and thank all the staff and management enough, not only for mum's care and the love she received but for how the family were treated when she was dying in the Residential unit. It meant the world to us.
I am so glad her end of life was here. Thank you for your love and compassion. The staff really cared about my mum and we wept together when she passed away. The staff could not have done any more.

My mum was with you in Memory Lane form July-December 2019. I transferred her form another home and I noticed that within a week she was less anxious. I think it was because the care was calmer and quieter. The manager of the unit, nursing staff and carers were all very kind. My mum was always clean
and in her own clothes (dignity). Cleaners, caterers and laundry and admin all first class.

Very unwelcoming. I never saw the manager smile once, communication poor. Time-specific medication not always given on time, probably due to poor communication between staff and no-one taking responsibility. Food looked disgusting and was often presented cold. Room often left without towels and a glass
to drink from. Bathroom floor so sticky that my shoes stuck to it. The place was dirty and shabby and smelly. Thank goodness I got him out of there.

This is a very special place. The Stamford Bridge Beaumont is not just a beautiful environment, but a community and family of incredibly dedicated and loving staff. From kitchen staff, carers, nurses to managers, everyone makes time to invest in residents and really get to know them. In the past two
months, my Grandma has deteriorated rapidly with breast cancer. Throughout this time, she has expressed feeling safe and loved in the home from home that is the Beaumont. As a family, there's a tough time ahead, but we feel confident that we chose the perfect place for our beautiful Grandma to really live her final days in dignity and love.

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.
