My mother-in-law has been at Beechill Care Home for six months. The staff are dedicated and caring. My mother-in-law had a very bad leg skin condition when she arrived. They showered her every day, applied cream and her legs are in very good condition now. I couldn't say enough about the staff at the
home. We know she is being well cared for.

My great-uncle was in Beechill Care Home for a few years and suffered with dementia.
I was pleased with the care and support he and we received throughout his stay.
We were contacted immediately if there were changes to his medication, food and moods or if a doctor was called to attend to him. I
cannot fault the staff or management in any way, they were exceptional.
I was always called by name when I visited and the staff treated him with dignity.
Even when he died, management and staff alike offered their sympathy to us and that was much appreciated.

My husband, the patient, has been very unsettled and difficult to manage. He is perhaps beginning to settle, Staff have been very patient and kind towards him. They have also been very patient and welcoming to extended family members, including the pet dog. His children and grandchildren hope to see
him soon.

My husband was in Beechill Care Home from March 2020 to October 2023. During this time, he received tremendous support in terms of the utmost care and attention provided by the most diligent, hardworking and professional staff. They treated my husband with the greatest dignity, and nothing was ever
too much bother for them. When I visited, they also treated me like part of their family, ensuring I was kept up to date with any concerns involving my husband. I can only say the greatest words for this care home, who deserve recognition for their caring of the highest standard.

The staff were always very professional, treated Dad with great respect and their communication with us was excellent. We were always made to feel very welcome, no matter when

I have to commend the staff in this care home. My mother has been there since May 2019 and has been looked after with respect and the highest level of care. She is currently bedridden and with very little communication. Yet, they still take time to engage with her, celebrating her birthday with a cake
and song.
I cannot recommend this home enough. The work they do is outstanding.
My mother is well looked after and is in excellent hands - something we as a family could not do.
Thank you.

Mum's decline into dementia has led to some challenging behaviour but the staff at Beechill have always been sympathetic and caring in response. They have always contacted us with any issues and are able to provide a regular account of Mum's progress or concerns. I am confident that she is in the best
of care.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.529)
Overview of Review Score
The Review Score of 9.5 (9.529) out of 10 for Beechill Care 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.829 for Beechill Care Home is calculated as follows:
(
(69 Excellents x 5)
+
(12 Goods x 4)
+
(1 Satisfactorys x 3)
)
÷ 82 Ratings = 4.829
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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Beechill Care Home is based on 7 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)

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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 7 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.
