Beechwood Care Home is a purpose built, 89 bed, registered care facility providing general nursing care to people over the age of 65 and to those with dementia related conditions. The home also benefits from a specialised unit caring for young people with physical and/or learning disabilities.

The building is divided into four distinct units, with a number of lounge and dining areas where residents can enjoy home cooked meals and afternoon tea with family and friends. All of the bedrooms have bright and spacious single bed accommodation with en-suite facilities for privacy and convenience.

The home is conveniently located opposite Wishaw General Hospital and is within close proximity to the town centre, with easy access to all local amenities. In addition, a regular bus service and the main train station are just a short distance away.

Residents can enjoy the beautiful courtyard within the home, in a lovely peaceful setting, together with a wide ranging activities programme and private minibus for outings and trips to places of local interest.

The home recently made it to finalist stage at the 2017 Caring UK Awards for the 'Best Innovation in Care' category.

Fees at Beechwood will depend on the needs of the prospective resident but more information can be provided by the Service Manager in the home.

I would be glad to recommend this home as it friendly, clean, good atmosphere and carers are very attentive to the residents. I visit my husband twice a day everyday - 7 days a week and I have always found him sitting clean and well dressed. Any concerns I have , I am kept well informed by the nurses
and I am comfortable leaving him in safe hands, any concerns after I have left, staff will contact me.

The staff at Beechwood go to great lengths to make my Mother in Law feel at home, comfortable and cared for. They take time with her and we feel assured that she is being given the care and attention that we are unable to give 24 hours a day. Her health has improved since moving to Beechwood last July,
she enjoys the daily activities, the hairdresser and manicures being a favourite. The staff are marvellous when she needs re assurance and we couldn't ask for a more caring group.


We are kept well informed of anything which may effect her health or wellbeing, she has had to go to hospital twice and staff went with her and stayed with her till we could get there, again very much appreciated. Everything is done to keep confusion at a minimum and I feel that the residents really are cared for.


I have every praise for the Manager and every member of staff. Keep up the good work, I don't know what we'd do without you.

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.
