  • Beechwood Park Nursing Home, Alloa
Located in the heart of the Sauchie area of Alloa, Beechwood Park Care Home offers Nursing and Dementia care across five individual self-contained specialist care communities, where all the bedrooms are tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard, each complete with ensuite facilities. The home has beautiful views of the large landscaped gardens, and there’s a summer house where residents enjoy outdoor activities.

The home has been organised to minimise symptoms of confusion or disorientation, allowing it to welcome clients with different types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.

With its own dementia training, the home highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, in addition to addressing clinical aspects of care. This specialist training also provides the hospitality team and chefs with the skills and knowledge to stimulate senses and increase creativity in the cooking and presentation of food. This can provide a much improved dining experience for residents living with dementia and or dysphagia.

My experience as a visitor to Beechwood Park Nursing Home is always a positive one. All the staff are friendly and always willing to help. The nursing staff take time to explain care plans and inform me of any medical issues that arise. There is a full activities programme and special event days for
residents. A good social media page. Overall I am happy with the running of the home.

My mother has been a resident at Beechwood Park Nursing Home for several years. She has always been extremely happy and settled there and has never had any issues. The standard of care she has received is, and has always been, of a high standard. The nursing team in her unit are very friendly and sensitive
to Mum's specific needs.

My wife arrived at Beechwood at the start of the Covid pandemic. The staff with their love and care got her through it and out the other side. I cannot speak highly enough of how my wife is being cared for from the moment I arrive at the home, til I leave. I take nothing but comfort in the way my wife
is being looked after.

Eric thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're happy to hear that your wife is receiving such great care at Beechwood Park. I will pass on your kind comments to the whole team.

Beechwood Park Nursing Home is a pleasant caring home where my husband has been for over five years. Staff are attentive and helpful and attend to all his needs. The home is kept really clean and fresh. Food is cooked on premises and offers a good variety of meals, tailored to dietary requirements.
I have advised many friends of the high standard of care that Beechwood offers.

I am relatively happy with the care my mother receives. Obviously, there are small issues but these would occur no matter where she was placed. The care staff in her unit (Ben Cleuch) are extremely hard working and always happy to oblige with any requests or queries. They treat my mother very kindly
and with respect. The housekeeping and laundry staff do a sterling job to keep things spick and span. She appears to be well nourished and I know her weight is monitored regularly so the kitchen staff are doing their bit and would respond to any requests if required. The management at the moment are excellent and are actively encouraging activities and events. A programme of relatives meetings has been started again which is very useful. On the whole positive.

Both settled in very well. Staff are caring and very good at keeping us informed of any issues/concerns. Both appear to be enjoying being in the home. They have arranged their rooms to suit themselves. Both put on weight since being admitted as food input was a major concern prior to admission. Overall,
very happy with care and facilities.

Beechwood Park Nursing Home is an excellent care home. The staff are all professional at all times and will go the extra mile for their residents and relatives if they can. It's a lovely care home with high standards. It is a friendly environment. The staff all work hard to keep running a smooth ship.
My mum has been very well cared for through each stage of her illness to keep her comfortable and safe. I would highly recommend this care home.

My mum refers to the staff at Beechwood as her 'angels', and that says it all. She moved in Feburay 2020, six weeks before lockdown and settled in immediately. Since then, and all through the pandemic, we, her family, have always felt confident and reassured that mum was getting the best possible care
- not just physically but emotionally. We couldn't be there but mum never wanted for hugs, chat and love. Bless all the staff.

I would not put my dog into this nursing home. The lies made by management is concerning. There is very poor communication within this care home. The staff changes constantly. Their level of care is poor. The management make rules as they go along, there is no consistency. Please read the complaints
about this place on the care inspectorate website.

Having had to arrange the transfer of my sister-in-law to the Beechwood a few weeks ago my wife (her sister) and I have been extremely pleased at every aspect of care provided by the management and staff at the Home. Staff in the Ben Cleuch area have excelled in providing a safe and friendly environment
for which we are very grateful. Although there are activities on offer we are unable to rate these at this time.

I have been visiting my younger brother who was admitted into Beechwood Park in the Ben Clench Wing and was there until he passed away in February, a total of nine months. The care and love he experienced there was excellent, the kindness of the nursing staff and carers, even down to the cleaners, we
could not have asked for better care, even taking time for visiting family. For myself, I will miss the friendship that was created through visiting my brother. Something I did not look forward to!

The staff at Beechwood Park Nursing Home are really great and caring staff. My mum was there around 18 months., she passed away 22 December 2017 and the staff were so kind to all our family and my mum they are top class service who should be paid a good wage by whoever is in charge of the home for the
great care they give. I have done caring before I know good and bad staff they also need more people so they are not overworked.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for Beechwood Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.772 for Beechwood Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 219 Ratings = 4.772

  • 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 Beechwood Park Nursing Home is based on 19 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 19 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.

Marek Tarnaswki

Job Title: Home Manager

Marek is our Home Manager at Beechwood Park – here’s a glimpse into his role at the home in his own words:


“With over 20 years of experience within the care home sector, I remain deeply passionate about improving the experiences of residents, colleagues, and visitors in our care home. I’m responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the home, ensuring the highest standards of care and service are delivered in a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for all residents.


I work hard to foster open communication with residents and their families, ensuring their needs and concerns are heard and addressed, and by leading the team with a focus on person-centred care, we’ve created an environment where residents feel respected and valued.


I aim to further develop our ties with the local community, through volunteer programs, partnerships with local organisations, and initiatives that bring residents and the wider community together. Strengthening these connections enhances the residents’ social lives and enriches the culture of the care home.


Ultimately, the joy in this role comes from the opportunity to make a lasting, positive impact on individuals’ lives while continuously learning and growing as a leader.”
