I am so very impressed with Beulah Vista Care Home. The care provided, the facilities and the staff are all outstanding. The manager is exceptional, her passion and commitment to the residents really shine through. Although the facilities are beautiful, it is the staff that make this care home an amazing
place. From the reception staff to the nursing staff, all are committed to providing a high-quality of care. I am so grateful we found this care home for my mother-in-law.

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

Thank you, Antoinette, I am very proud of our Beulah Vista team and we really do feel like a huge family.
We are happy Mum found us too.

My mum spent three weeks at this wonderful caring home before sadly passing away receiving brilliant palliative care (with a hospice involvement too) in the last few days. The management, nurses and care staff were all fabulous and so compassionate with both Mum and the whole family. They welcomed us
any time of day or night, even arranging a special place for time together and spacing visits. We felt Mum was given the highest level of care and observed the same with other residents during our visits. The home has high-quality surroundings, and regular activities with encouragement for residents to join - even though quite poorly my mum enjoyed the music and singing. The food provided looked delicious and they even arranged a special diet for my mum who had trouble swallowing. Thank you Beulah Vista for making Mum's last weeks so comfortable, surrounded by her family.

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

Thank you, it was lovely that you popped in last week to see us. Mum was such a kind and caring lady and we miss her smile. Thank you for letting us care for Mum at the end of her life.

I've been visiting Beulah Vista Care Home for the last 5 months and always found the staff/management very supportive of my friend and myself. Rooms and lounge areas are spacious and very clean, and there is a lovely big garden to take residents out to. There are activities to attend singing, exercise
and a cinema in the basement. Food and drink for residents are made fresh each day. Security is via coded numbers to gain access. I would recommend this home.

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

Thanks, Neil- it's lovely that you visit often and use the garden here at Beulah Vista.

Moving dad into care was an incredibly difficult decision for us as a family. However, the care he has been receiving and the extremely clean and pleasant surroundings of the care home has really made us feel that the level of care he now gets is far better than what we were able to provide at home.
The staff are so patient and kind with him, and he always looks so happy and settled when we visit him. Everything we have observed is exceptional, from the physical care he receives, including the food, to the activities they do with the residents to stimulate their minds! All these things give us great comfort as a family, and we are so glad we found Beulah Vista!

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

This was so lovely to read. We are so pleased that as a team we have been able to provide comfort to you all. You have cared for dad so well at home and we are happy that you have allowed us to take over from you. Dad enjoys your visits and I am sure once that sunshine is back, you will spend many happy days in the garden together.

We chose Beulah Vista for my father's six-week respite care after visiting several other nursing care homes because we were impressed by how warm, friendly, engaging and caring the staff were to the residents. My dad has been extremely well looked after and the staff have gone to great lengths to ensure
he is happy and well cared for. He has particularly enjoyed having a cooked breakfast every morning and enjoyed the other meals. All staff have been very attentive to my dad's needs and to his guests, and I would like to thank all of them for their care, especially the well-being manager, the manager and another lady. It is impressive how thoughtful, respectful and kind everyone at Beulah has been to him.

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

Thanks for your kind words. We feel really strongly about having the same few team members to support one floor in Beulah Vista as it helps us to deliver the person-centred care anyone would want for their loved one. Our residents like to see the same faces as it offers reassurance. It’s great that you used the private dining room last week and were able to spend some quality time together.

My mother has been spending 5 weeks respite care at Beulah Vista. Even though she is frail and has a great many needs, she has been very well cared for. All members of the team are invested in her care and embrace our entire family in everything. Thank you so much for making her feel comfortable and
persevering with her ailments and difficulties eating. Great care from the kitchen has enabled her to remain nourished. We are grateful for your support and have extended her time by another week because we are so happy.

I am so glad my friend spent time with the team at Beulah Vista. They were like a family to her at the most difficult time in her life. The word caring does not seem strong enough for the way they were with her. They were very professional but also tender, patient, fun, and always looking out for her.
Never a visit went by without one of the nurses or carers popping in to check on my friend. She was not an easy person - stubborn and fierce - but they quickly got the measure of her and she always said how well-looked-after she felt. And they looked after her visitors too. We were constantly updated as to how she was and any treatment changes that had been recommended by the doctor. There was always a smile ready from all members of staff. Beulah Vista is beautiful and spotless- nothing like other care homes we visited. The management are very hands-on and I applaud them for the place they are running. You get exceptional care and it feels like a home.

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to care for such a wonderful lady- so pleased you chose Beulah Vista. We loved her fierceness, humour and stubborn ways. What a wonderful bunch of friends you all are and we do hope that you visit us still when out on your walks. Our door is always open to you all.

My mother-in-law is staying at Beulah Vista Care Home. This brand-new care home is absolutely spotless and really is similar to a 5-star hotel. The interior decoration and furnishings are beautiful. In addition to the fully furnished top-quality bedrooms with en suite facilities, dining areas, private
nooks to relax and so much more, it also boasts a cinema and small dining room for private family celebrations. Each and every member of staff we have met have been so friendly. They carry out their roles and responsibilities, which I can imagine at times must be challenging, not only with professionalism but more importantly with much kindness, empathy and respect. Our family would thoroughly recommend Beulah Vista for your loved ones and well worth a visit.

I could not have been happier with Beulah Vista Care Home. The environment is more like a top hotel than a care home which has made it easier for my mother to settle into, rather than a clinical environment. The quality of care has consistently been of a very high standard with genuine attentiveness
given to my mother by all of the staff I have seen looking after her. Communication with me has been very good too, with regular updates - face to face, via email or phone. Overall, I have been reassured that my mother's needs are being very well met and that she is OK in a completely new environment.

Beulah Vista has been an exceptional experience an exemplary 21st-century care home for the elderly a place that can be called home, where the care and interventions are personalised, where fun can be had and where there is energy and positivity as well as quietness and respect. My father has become
a permanent resident, a life-changing moment managed with kindness, conversation, reassurance, patience and a real focus on getting to know my father. Beulah Vista provides a flexible, welcoming, and respectful set-up which is resident-led. The rooms and communal spaces and garden are comfortable and stylish. There is a range of social, creative, and physical activities to opt into and the Christmas period has been incredibly special with lights, music, presents, events and real joy. Leadership is outstanding, with excellent responsive communication including family meetings as well as genuine honesty. I feel confident and lucky to have found Beulah Vista, a real asset to the local community. Bravo BV.

My mother came here in November 2022 and settled in very quickly. As soon as she arrived we were both welcomed and any queries I had were answered quickly. Staff are very efficient, friendly and thorough. The nurses understood her medication and made recommendations which worked. I felt she was definitely
in the right place. My mum is so comfortable here, she says the food is lovely and everything is very organised. I've seen other homes for my mum and this is by far the best standard in every way.

My mother-in-law went into the care home for a week's respite. She has restricted mobility and we were concerned as a family, how she would manage in the home. Well, we were pleasantly surprised as this home was warm and welcoming and truly a home away from home. Her room had doors which took her into
the courtyard where she could enjoy the sunshine. This was important to her. Staff went out of their way to ensure she was comfortable, were always patient with her and nothing was too much trouble. The staff looking after her were caring and friendly. The chef was aware she is vegetarian and ensured she had a varied interesting diet including baking her an eggless cake. Since leaving the home, she still talks about how kind everyone was, especially the night staff. As a family, we are confident that should she need to go into respite in the future, we would not hesitate to send her here again.

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

Anita, thank you for your kind words. Often the night team are the most important people to our residents, and knowing someone is close by at all times offers such reassurance. Our door is always open, even if it's for a cup of tea and a biscuit. We hope to see you all again in the future.

I honestly don't know how to begin this review, words cannot express how grateful I am. I never wanted my Mum to go into a care home, but circumstances with her health and dementia made it absolutely necessary. Mum had dementia and was not mobile. She was treated with the greatest respect and kindness
by all the staff and bless her heart, she thought she was on holiday in a hotel. The nursing staff are true angels and the health care assistants, are absolutely amazing and truly cared for and about my Mum. The staff all respected our family (and we are a big family) and looked after us on our daily, sometimes twice daily visits and never made us feel, we were in the way. The manager has recruited the perfect team of staff and honestly cares for the resident herself. I will never, ever forget how they all cared so much and so well for my mum and our family, especially one staff member in particular and she knows who she is!

Reply from Gemma Weldon, Home Manager at Beulah Vista Care Home

Caroline, we will always be grateful that we got to care for your wonderful mum. You are an amazing family, and it was lovely to see you all so connected - Mum's room was just perfect for her (and Dad) and I am pleased you all got to spend quality time with Mum. Love to you all.

My dad came in as temporary respite care for four weeks and ended up staying eight weeks. The staff were very attentive and friendly towards my dad and me, as I visited often. They all went out of their way to help my dad, especially as he came in with a grade 4 bed sore, but with the manager leading,
they healed it before he left. Their duty of care is exceptional, he has never looked as well as he has looked. I cant thank the manager and all her team enough, if I could have afforded to keep Dad there, I would of.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for Beulah Vista 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.934 for Beulah Vista Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.934

  • 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 Beulah Vista Care Home is based on 22 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 22 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.

Gemma Weldon

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

I have been working in the care industry for the past 15 years and have worked in many roles in both Nursing Homes and within the Community. I qualified as an RGN in 2013 and completed my studies at Kingston University. Dementia care has always been a keen passion of mine so after qualifying as a nurse, I went on to study additional modules at Worcester University specifically in dementia care.


In my previous role, I was the registered Home Manager for three years at a 51 bedded Nursing Home which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was previously the Deputy Manager of a 70 bedded, commissioning Nursing Home in Carshalton near Sutton, and here is where I developed a passion for commissioning. I feel privileged to be opening Beulah Vista and have enjoyed all the challenges a new home faces. Being here from the beginning gives me the best opportunity to lead by example and support the team to implement person-centered care for our residents.


I have also worked as an Admiral Nurse based in Sutton Social Services for 18 months. An Admiral Nurse is a specialist dementia nurse who gives expert advice and support to families caring for a loved one living with dementia. This role not only enabled me to help families through difficult times, but it allowed me to deliver training to other Health Care professionals enhancing their knowledge of dementia.


I know that the key to excellent care is strong communication and believe that you are only as good as your team. I have seen how the needs of people have changed and how the demand for nursing and dementia care has increased over the years. I am determined to be a part of the positive change for the future of care.


Kushka

Kushka Nicholson

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2022

I am a Mental Health Nurse and qualified in 2016 at Greenwich University. I have previously worked as a Forensic Nurse but for the most part of my nursing, I have worked in Dementia care. No two days are the same in a Care Home, so we are always learning something new. I take great pleasure in caring for people living with Dementia, including the frail and elderly and feel this is what I was born to do.


I have previously worked as a Clinical Lead/ Deputy Manager in another Care Home before coming to Beulah Vista. It has been an exciting experience coming to work as a commissioning Deputy Manager and I look forward to developing and supporting team members, to give the best possible care to our residents.


Sharon

Sharon Ellis

Job Title: Administrator

Joined: 2022

My role consists of being part of the leadership team supporting the Home Manager by ensuring a smooth running of the care home.


I have many years of experience working in the care sector supporting older people, young people and children. I have personal care experience as was the main carer for my dad and have loved being a carer ever since. I find it to be very rewarding to work in the care industry gaining experience and obtaining a Level 5 in Health and Social Care. Before I worked in care, I was a Deputy Finance Assistant for a children's centre and have several years of experience as an administrator.


I love supporting the team at Beulah Vista and have an open-door policy. I look forward to supporting new team members and our residents.


Lindsay

Lindsay Massey

Job Title: Marketing and Resident Wellbeing Manager

Joined: 2023

My Name is Lindsay Massey, and I am the Marketing & Resident Wellbeing Manager here at Beulah Vista. My role here is to raise awareness of our home within the community, inviting when safe to do so, local schools, churches, and groups into our home. To liaise with family members who wish to place their loved ones in our care, to ensure that it is a safe, smooth, and caring transition and as stress-free as it can be.


I worked for Legal & General for 27 years before deciding I needed to work in a job that made a difference. I have been working in care almost continuously for the last 18 years. I have done many jobs from reception, HR, Resident Accounts, Dining, Activities and Marketing. The latter two are my favourites.

I am a people person and like to think that I can help families with difficult decisions and help the residents to enjoy as many different activities as they can and embrace being in care rather than being frightened of it.
The out-of-work Lindsay lives with her husband Stuart, my mother and rescue dog Bosco. Both of my boys have moved out to live with their girlfriends, but we still see each other a lot as they are local and they all play golf (I try!), I like cooking, travelling, reading, walking, Pilates, socialising with friends and recently I have taken up cold water swimming!

I have been a hairdresser for 4 years, but the pandemic encouraged me to become a carer. I am passionate about caring for the elderly and am thoroughly enjoying my new role. I have found it to be very rewarding and the team is very supportive. I’m looking forward to learning and taking on new challenges at Beulah vista.

I live very local to Beulah Vista and saw the home being built. I have been a Senior Carer for the past 9 years and work the night shifts. I have two small daughters that I dote on and love watching them grow. I am creative and like to partake in events at Beulah Vista and love to decorate at Christmas time.


I like to lead by example and am keen to help develop our Health Care Assistants into Senior Carers. I have found our mini-modules very useful at Beulah Vista and enjoyed our induction week in the classroom.

Job Title: Kitchen Assistant

Joined: 2022

I have been a Kitchen Assistant for the past 8 years and love working in the kitchen setting. I love baking and making desserts- I enjoy watching our residents enjoying something sweet with a nice cup of tea. I like to learn about our resident's different cultures and food preferences, I learn something new every day.


I believe that good teamwork plays a huge part in the kitchen and I love to support my chefs as they support me. Family time is important and I spend lots of time with my family on my days off. I also enjoy listening to music and watching food competition programmes such as the British bake-off.
