Mum moved into this home in September 2017 and very quickly settled. The staff are competent, capable and very friendly which makes me confident in the care mum is getting and very happy with the staff. The home is modern and welcoming and a pleasure to visit.

My aunt has been in Beechwood Care Home since January 2017 and I have found the home to be a first-class establishment both in management and care of the residents.


As no facility is 100%, I felt that my assessment of the care, management, staff and support reflects the high standard of the home.

No complaints, keep up the good work.

Our mother has been treated with respect and dignity at Beechwood Care Home. She is kept clean, warm and well fed. The food, however, is lacking in nutritional value and is reflective of the Scottish diet in general. Too many cakes, biscuits and sugary drinks.
We are impressed with the staff who appear
to be caring and cheerful in a difficult job. We have had trouble with our mother's clothing going missing in significant quantities. After lodging several complaints the situation seems to have been resolved. In summary, we are happy with the care our mother is receiving at this home.

My mum has been a resident since July 2017 and I cannot speak more highly of the staff involved in her care. They have created a homely, caring environment for her despite very challenging circumstances.


I always feel welcome when I visit and the staff always have time to listen and respond to any

issues. They treat my mum with the utmost respect and dignity whilst creating a warm, friendly atmosphere. It is a pleasure being a part of the Beechwood family!

My father went into this care home for emergency care as his wife was taken into hospital. Right away, the staff was welcoming and very reassuring, he settled into life there very quickly. He very much enjoyed the music afternoon and he loves to play his accordion and they take him around to play for
other residents. When we realised that he needed to go into full-time care, they helped us to make the transition without any problems. They take care of his well-being, getting his false teeth fixed, toenails cut, haircut whatever he needs as well as spending time with him.

My mother's health deteriorated over the month of July 2017 until it became obvious she would be unlikely to recover. During this time, every nurse, carer, and cleaner who came in contact with Mum and my family could not do enough to make us comfortable and cared for my mum as if she was a member of
their own family. I knew when my visits ended each day that they would continue to look after her to the same standard. This was a great comfort and helped us with the final few days.

My mum stayed in Beechwood until she passed at the end of July 2017. We as a family could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate home for her to stay in. She was treated like a member of the family and the staff couldn't do enough for her or ourselves, any questions we might of have had
were dealt with quickly and honestly.


On her passing the staff were excellent never rushing us and made time for us and obviously very upset themselves, we can't thank them enough for attending the funeral and for all the help they gave mum in her time in Beechwood, we as a family have now gained an extended family and look forward to visiting the patients and staff and helping in anyway we can with any fundraising, so we the family can carry on my mums fundraising legacy.
The staff and management are amazing it's not just a job to them as they truly care about their patients and families, for which I can't thank them enough for everything they have done.

My mum has dementia but is physically fit and although she doesn't walk very much, she is encouraged to and walks short distances eg; to the toilet and does do physical exercises using her arms and legs. She is always clean and fresh looking and never smells of urine which I thank the staff for. The
home itself has had a recent facelift and is extremely bright and cheerful. My mum has been a resident for almost five years and believe me, if I was unhappy with any aspects of her care she would not be there.

My cousin had only been in the home 4/5 weeks so it was a very basic review. Mainly concerned with who he was and likes and needs. The social worker was not the one that I had met before or arranged the placement. She was pleasant. Nurse I had met before and found helpful and interested.

My aunt was taken to Beechwood Care Home for emergency respite care initially for two weeks as her carer was taken to the hospital and subsequently passed away. We found every member of staff and particularly the manager and the staff nurse sympathetic, caring and very committed to those in their care.
Despite the trauma of leaving her home of 72 years very unexpectantly, my aunt has been so welcomed and looked after which helped her and the whole family enormously. The home is clean, rooms lovely, and there is always plenty going on to interest and stimulate. Every resident we met seems happy and the place is very well staffed and managed. My aunt is desperate to stay.

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.
