  • The Beeches Residential Care Home, Birmingham
The team at The Beeches, many of whom have been with the home for years, are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents and empowering them to have an active role to play in how their home is run.

Providing residential, dementia and respite care, the team are proud to involve the residents and their loved ones in every aspect of life at the home. There are resident and family ambassadors, who get involved in everything from taking part in staff interviews to providing feedback on everything from the menus to the activities.

Food is a highlight of the day for many residents – and the chef is an award-winning baker with a passion for cakes! The food is very much shaped by the residents and there is a mixture of traditional dishes, like roasts with all the trimmings, to flavours from around the world if the residents would like to try them – including Caribbean, Greek and Indian.

There are so many activities to enjoy, from pampering in the salon, cheese and wine evenings and live entertainment, to gentle exercise and gardening in the home’s vegetable patch.

The team embrace the community into the home, with visiting students and community volunteers.

The Beeches also has a namaste room, a cinema room and a café, where residents can relax with friends and family, who are welcome at any time, over tea and homemade cake.

The home also has a Magic Table, an amazing piece of technology designed for people living with dementia, where residents can play interactive light games together.

The gardens are a beautiful spot to relax in, with raised planters and wheelchair friendly pathways. Some of the bedrooms, which are all ensuite, have patio access to the gardens.

After a lengthy stay in a hospital, mom went to the Beeches. The staff team is working hard to socialise mom into her new home. Cannot fault their dedication & professionalism. The facilities are appropriate to the needs of the client and provide a calm and reassuring atmosphere to assist in the rehabilitation
of mom. All the staff are friendly and approachable. I was very apprehensive about mom going into a care setting however the Beeches has allayed my fears.
Food is excellent and varied. Cannot praise them highly enough.

When I realised my dad wasn't coping as well as he said he was, 12 months ago. I suggested we look at sheltered/residential care. He was adamant "I'm not going in one of those places" Just last week after four months in The Beeches he said, "You know this was the best move we ever made"! It says it
all really! He is happy, well cared for, enjoys the food and the entertainment, and for me I have peace of mind knowing people are at hand when he needs help. Thanks to the lovely staff.

The care home is very pleasant in its layout, externally and internally. The carers are very friendly and welcoming, I trust that they look after my grandmother. The management doesn't seem to be as welcoming as they were in the first instance. Overall good standards.

Very good since mum moved in back in March 2016. Only comment would make, pictures still not on wall we had requested, so going to do ourselves. Was told carpet being changed just after she arrived but not been done and armchair stained already when moved in, so would be nice if can be replaced. Otherwise
all very satisfactory.

Thanks so much for your positive comments and I am pleased that as soon as you brought this to our attention we hung the pictures on the wall, changed the chair and cleaned the carpet.

Overall The Beeches provides a tremendous service to my grandmother. The staff and management team display excellent professionalism whilst creating a comradeship with the residents. My grandmother settled in quickly and myself and my family have never regretted our decision.

The Beeches is a very warm, friendly and safe environment for my aunt. The staff are very good and provide top quality care in all aspects especially the activities. Only today the residents were playing dominoes and hoopla. The biggest compliment I can pay is it doesn't feel like a typical care home.
The layout is more like a large house and the rooms are lovely and modern. Thanks.

All the staff have been very attentive, friendly and courteous. The home is clean and always smells fresh. The food always smells tasty and is well presented. Entertainment is available almost every day. The hairdresser does a great job of my mother's hair, which is very thin and wispy. Manicures are
available done by the staff and the personal care always appears to be of a high and gentle nature. Thank you for all the care and affection your staff give to my mother every day.

My mom has been a resident at The Beech for almost 4 years not and I have been more than satisfied with all aspects of care. All the staff are approachable and friendly and if I have had any problems they have been dealt with efficiency. I have got peace of mind knowing that my mom is being cared for

My father has been at The Beeches for 3 years. At the time of his admittance he was quite poorly. Thanks to the kindness, care and professionalism of the team there, he celebrated his 101st birthday this year. He is very happy and comfortable. From the point of view of myself and my siblings, we feel
confident that dad has the best of care and are sure in the knowledge that we are always kept informed of any problems. We are made to feel welcome any time we visit, with staff always pleasant and helpful.

Spoke to the social worker on the phone due to the reason I do not live near to the care home quite some distance. We discussed was I happy with my aunts care and well being. I advised I was pleased with the care she is given and has a lovely comfortable room. She can take herself back and forth to
the dining/lounge room with her zimmer frame. She is content here and safe, which is the thing for me to know she is safe and well looked after.

As soon as I set foot in The Beeches Residential Care Home I knew this was the home for my mom, with it's lovely 'homely feel', friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. Since moving into The Beeches on 21st April, 2016 mom is very settled, happy and all her needs are met. She has a lovely en-suite
bedroom and enjoys the home-cooked meals.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.647)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.647) out of 10 for The Beeches Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.647 for The Beeches Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.647

  • 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 The Beeches Residential Care Home is based on 31 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 31 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.

Francesca Lile

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2017

I began my career in care as an activities coordinator, discovering the joy of bringing happiness and purpose to residents.


Later, as a care assistant, I had the privilege of ensuring residents received tailored care informed by their unique histories and needs.


In my senior care roles, I embraced a person-centred approach, treating residents like extended family. I believe in truly knowing each individual, and helping them to live fulfilling lives.


Becoming a mother deepened my empathy for families, teaching me to address even small concerns with compassion and care. I always strive to view situations through the lens of how I would want my own loved ones treated.


Now, as Home Manager at The Beeches, I bring years of experience and a passion for creating a vibrant, welcoming environment where residents, their families, and staff feel valued and supported.


I am proud of Sanctuary Care’s ethos of enriching lives, and fostering a safe, nurturing home with engaging, personalised experiences that help every resident thrive.
