My mum has been in The Beeches for over two months now, and she is thoroughly enjoying herself. It makes such a difference to her having people around 24/7. I can see she is well looked after, and she enjoys a laugh with residents and carers. Management care lead by example. I've already recommended
The Beeches to a friend for her Mum.

I am pleased Mum is here. I feel she is safe, secure and kindly looked after. I have always been made very welcome during my visits and found staff obliging and friendly. I know now that this is where she needs and wants to be and look forward to future visits and helping, where I can.

Father-in-law was a previous resident, so when my cousin was told there was a room at The Beeches, I had no hesitation recommending this care home to him. They look after you with dignity and compassion. Nothing is too much for them. It is like being in your own home with all the assistance available,
you just have to ask. Staff are friendly and very helpful and go the extra mile if required.

My mum has been a resident here for over 5-years, and I would happily recommend the home to anyone. Staff are friendly, caring and welcoming. The whole team have done a fantastic job with the challenges of the last 12 months. Lounges and rooms are well decorated, great sized garden for gardening, activities
and the resident's shop.

The Beeches has taken wonderful care of our mum. They have responded to her complex problems with patience and understanding. The home is very well organised, looking after the physical and emotional needs of residents with the emphasis on making it “feel like home”. All the staff have gone above and
beyond, showing, just how much they do care. Numerous activities have been organised to encourage mum to participate and this has helped her to socialise. Management are always extremely helpful and requests and suggestions have been welcomed. Thank you all so much for your dedication.

The positive change in my grandad since coming to The Beeches is amazing. I can't praise the staff enough! He is the most settled and happy that I have seen him for a very long time! Our family feel so at ease knowing we can leave after a visit assured that he is taken care of, which is a huge thing
for us! The staff make us feel so welcome! Thank you for everything The Beeches has done for my grandad and for us.

My Dad has spent a 2 week planned respite admission at this care home. My family and I were very impressed by the warm and friendly welcome that my Dad received as he walked into the building for the very first time. The staff were all extremely friendly and very helpful. The standard of the home and
the environment including the outside grounds/garden was excellent. The care my Dad received was second to none. My overall impression of this lovely care home is that it is a very warm and welcoming care home with a fantastic and dedicated manager who has a great bunch of caring staff behind her. I could not fault Dad's care.

Since June 2017 when my mother became a resident at The Beeches Care Home in Dunfermline, Fife I have been absolutely delighted with the overall level of care and professionals provided by all management and staff. I could not be happier with my experience with all aspects of The Beeches care home.
An absolute credit to the care profession.

First class care don't in a professional manner (right through from cleaning/kitchen staff, carers and management). Nursing staff on the ball when any illnesses arise. Prime importance that Mum is also very happy with home so it puts the family at rest (no worries). As listed below all care facilities
and support 10 out of 10.

The care home is clean and tidy. The staff always go out of their way to help at all times. As mum has only been there for a few months, she has found it difficult to settle in and the staff are great at helping her along.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for The Beeches 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.907 for The Beeches Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.907

  • 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 The Beeches Care Home is based on 18 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 18 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.
