The extensively trained team will deliver all the specialist care and support services that loved ones require.

Personalised care plans consider not only medical, personal and dietary needs, but also the individual’s likes and dislikes, religious preferences, and any suggestions from family members that might make the resident's stay with the home that little bit more enjoyable.

Delighted with the way my brother has been welcomed into the Beaconsfield Court Care Home. He settled in much more quickly than I ever thought he would.

My sister has been in this home for about three years. I live in the south of England so don't get to see her very often. I do video calls with my sister and there is always a carer at hand to help with the tablet etc.
My sister is very happy in the home.

My mum has recently moved into Beaconsfield Court Care Home, she has settled straight in. Has even been reunited with a couple of friends. My mum has just spent her first festive holiday there and the home made it so special for each resident. Everyone received a bag full of presents from the manager
and staff. We were invited to have Christmas lunch which was beautiful. I feel so happy and content to know my mum is there. Thank you to each and every one.

Cannot fault the care given here.
Great communication, staff know their residents well.
Safe, comfortable and friendly environment.
Food that I’ve seen has been good but there has been a kitchen refit so at times onsite facilities were out of order, though alternatives were brought in on these occasions.

What a fantastic care home. I have been very fortunate to have had connections to this care home for a very long time and I can not fault it. It is always clean and welcoming, the staff are kind and caring, and the manager is fabulous, so approachable and friendly, I have no doubt she is the glue that
keeps this wonderful home and staff together and running like a well-oiled machine. I would have no qualms recommending this home to anyone.

My experience with Beaconsfield Court has been excellent. All staff are so friendly and helpful. The home is a first class home that care for every resident and the relatives and friends. Communication is excellent. From the beginning of enquiring to the move in has been a smooth transition. The manager
and deputy manager have been exceptional with easing worries and concerns, very warm and supportive welcome every time. First class home, thank you to each staff member

My mother is very happy at Beaconsfield Court and this is 100% due to the amazing, caring and dedicated staff. During the pandemic, every caution was taken as required but every effort was also made to ensure the residents and their families remained in close contact. An absolutely first-class experience
for all of our family.

Beaconsfield Court is a care home outstanding above all others. This last year has been so hard with the ongoing pandemic, but they have put everyone at ease. Communicating with relatives constantly, so we know our loved ones are well looked after. My mam absolutely loves living there; the staff give
amazing care; they are all superheroes in our minds. As a family, we can't thank them enough for the care they give our beloved Mam. Thank you to the amazing team there.

Beaconsfield Court has been a safe haven for my mam. They have kept her safe during this horrible pandemic. Most of all they have kept her happy and content. The staff are outstanding. The communication with us as a family has been excellent. We have been able to visit mam in the visiting pod. We have
regular video calls. The management keeps us updated at all times. We can not praise the home enough. Amazing team.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.425)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.425) out of 10 for Beaconsfield Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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 4.887 for Beaconsfield Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.887

  • 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 4.538 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beaconsfield Court Care Home 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.938

  • 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.
