My mum moved into the care home in October 2024. Staff were extremely welcoming to both my mum and family. They go above and beyond to meet all needs. Staff are friendly and approachable. Care home staff provide a healthy and clean environment which ensures all residents are safe with their dignity
maintained at all times. My mum appears happy and staff always encourage her to maintain her independence when she can. They update family on a regular basis with any change to care needs. Myself and my family are really happy with the level of care my mum receives.

Staff are very caring and responsive to my aunt's needs while encouraging her to be as independent as she can. They have a lovely manner and are extremely patient with her. They have activities most days to make life interesting and she has had experiences she would never have had in her house, e.g.
therapy pets or pantomime, all the while in a safer environment. I love going up to visit as it is such a calm, friendly atmosphere.

Words can't express the care that is given in this home, they give the residents 100%. I couldn't complain about anything, even when my brother passed away they were there for me and my family. If my brother wasn't feeling well they would phone and let you know and tell you that they would phone the
doctor, even when you went to see your relative they would tell you how they were and if you would like to stay in the lounge or go to their room, if so they would take you to their room for you and ask if you would like a drink of tea, coffee or water.

The staff and surroundings are all excellent. It really is a home from home. The residents are treated as one big family and all staff give so much attention, care and love to all. There are plenty of activities both mental and physical which enable the residents to be stimulated.
All furnishings are
immaculately cared for, aiding the comfort of the residents and all needs and care are suited to each resident's particular requirements. The cleanliness of bedroom, en suit etc., is second to none. It is just like a luxury hotel more so, due to all the love that is given.

My mother-in-law recently passed away in the care home and I would just like to say how well she was looked after by all the staff as her health declined. As a family, we asked that she should not be taken to hospital as we wanted her to pass away where she had been really happy and comfortable, her
home. The staff, from the girls and guys in her unit to the management, could not have been more caring to both her and to our family. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to them all.

Would like toilet to be upgraded, a repaint would be nice to freshen up facilities.
Staff are always very helpful in all aspects of care.
Food menu could do with more variety. Acftivities always very good.
Could do with a visit from a GP when required, at the moment, only a photographer being sent
to GP rather than a visit.

I find that the staff and management are very helpful. They can't do enough for you. Nothing seems to be any trouble. My wife can't say enough about them. She likes the food and staff. Before she came here I had to do everything for her, help with the toilet and she would not go outside. So the staff
have turned that around.

My mother moved to this care home in January 2024.
She has been treated with care and dignity.
Our family has been treated the same and we were always welcomed into the care home with no restrictions.
At first, we found it really difficult to accept our mother had to go into a care home but with
the help of the staff, we soon settled down and so did our mother.
Staff are friendly and had us in stitches most of the time.
My mother became really ill and thankfully, the staff knew what she wanted (that she didn't want to go into hospital), they acted as her advocate until we got to the home where, a few days later, she peacefully passed away with the dignity and respect she deserved.
Cannot express how happy we were with her care in this nursing home and the staff.

My mother has been recently transferred to this facility from an NHS hospital. It has been a very friendly and welcoming environment for her and she is settling in well. There is a hairdressing facility and lots of weekly activities to take part in. The staff are very caring and attentive and always
show a personal touch. We can’t thank them enough!

Only issues I have with the time my brother spent at Beechwood Care Home, Wishaw, is that several designer clothes, jeans and underpants, that were clearly labelled from the start, went missing, never to return. I did enquire but to no avail. Also, the feet plates for his bespoke wheelchair for the
shower were removed at some point and couldn't be found on the day of leaving which were difficult to source.
Finally, I received a letter for a refund on his account from accounts addressing my late brother (assuming he was dead) which is not the case. Overall experience, not that great.

My sister is very happy and settled in Beechwood, and that is what we hoped for when we chose it when she was no longer able to stay at home. The staff are very friendly and always make us welcome when we visit. Our sister takes part in all the activities, and all resident's achievements are highlighted,
eg, painting, singing, etc. We all have complete faith in the staff.

As a regular visitor, from the moment I enter the front door, I get a sense of a very positive ethos of Beechwood Care Home. All staff are very welcoming and engaging. The entrance and downstairs foyer are spacious, free of clutter, very fresh and very clean. The exact same applies to the first floor.
All staff know my sister and treat her with warmth and kindness, she talks about how kind and friendly they are all the time. They fully understand and meet her needs and ensure her dignity is a priority. Activities are stimulating, varied, lively and fun. Families are kept informed at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10 for Beechwood 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 4.738 for Beechwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.738

  • 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 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, 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.
