My husband needed respite care after an extended hospital stay. A few years ago I had taken my elderly neighbours to view The Beeches and had been very impressed with all the facilities, the levels of general care and medical care offered and the friendliness of all the staff we met. I, therefore contacted
them to see if they could help with respite care. From the first phone call, I felt completely confident that they would look after him and assist with his rehabilitation. Everyone, the carers, nursing staff, chefs, maintenance, and reception, everyone has been amazing, helpful, kind and caring. Rehabilitation is ongoing and I am confident that he is in the best place.

My mum and dad came in initially for respite care after Dad had a fall at home.
Anyway, we decided on The Beeches as we had heard such good things about it from friends etc.
From the moment we entered the home, we felt so welcomed, and every single staff member went out of their way to make Mum and
Dad feel at home.
It is hard to put your parents into someone else's care, but as a family, we have no worries that our parents are not receiving fantastic care here.
They have now decided to become permanent residents as they are so happy, and our Mum absolutely loves all the activities knowing that Dad is being looked after so well.
The Beeches is a caring, kind and wonderful place, and this is thanks to the fantastic staff and their commitment to all the residents.
I would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone and everyone. You have given my sister and I peace of mind, which is priceless.

My husband and I stayed at The Beeches for two weeks following my recent heart attack. All the staff are very caring and professional; this went a long way to help me recover. The activities are very varied themes, something for everybody.

I care for my mum on a 24/7 basis; she suffers from Alzheimer's and a few other health conditions. I and my husband haven’t had a break in three years. Finding The Beeches meant that we were able to take a holiday for two weeks, knowing my mum was receiving the best care. Having regular feedback from
friends and family visiting her reassured us that my mum was safe, happy and well cared for. We would not hesitate to use The Beeches again and would like to thank all the amazing staff there for their care towards my mum and for being there for me also - 10/10.

After a spell in hospital, Mum required respite care until her home was sold and a suitable flat was purchased. The staff were understanding that her stay may be short and was happy to accept her on this basis. She has been very happy at The Beeches and is now ready to move back to independent living.
The care has been excellent, and all staff are friendly, respectful, caring and kind. She has enjoyed the social activities and made lots of new friends. I am sure she will return as a visitor to continue the friendships made.
I know should a time come when Mum requires full-time care in a home, she and I will happily see her return to The Beeches.

My mum has dementia, and after years of caring for her at home and lots of soul searching, the time came for her to move to somewhere more able to look after her.
I looked at numerous care homes, but it wasn’t until I visited and spoke to the staff at The Beeches that I really felt comfortable. My
mum loves being there; the care given and activities Mum takes part in throughout the week, I feel are secondary to none.
For the first time in years, I feel totally relaxed - time spent with Mum is quality time.

The family all feel we have made an excellent choice for Mum at Signature The Beeches. The apartment is excellent and pre-arrival advice helped us to select just the right furniture to bring along. Signature The Beeches has worked well with their architects to craft a homely but workable environment
that is ideal for elders and their special needs, and we are happy to see Mum settled in such nice surroundings. The staff are uniformly professional and efficient without being unfriendly, and Mum's inevitable newcomer concerns have been dealt with in short order. Overall, just right.

My mum went to Beeches for respite care, and I was impressed with both the facilities and the staff were lovely. Mum has moderate dementia but was in residential due to her good mobility and participation. She was encouraged to participate in lots of activities. For her level of memory issues, I feel
the place was a bit large to navigate, and I look forward to the possibility of an area for those with similar dementia needs being opened.

After suffering an aneurysm and stroke, my wife was left partially paralysed. She was eventually discharged from the hospital into the care of The Beeches for 5-months until I could bring her home. She received excellent nursing care, and I can’t praise them enough for looking after her. It is a very
well run home. I would recommend The Beeches to anyone looking for short or long term care.

I have been so surprised by how friendly and helpful every member of staff has been, without exception. Originally my dad was only staying for a couple of weeks, but he likes it so much is asked to stay there for good. My dad said it's like staying in a 5-star hotel but with better service.

My mother can be a little difficult at times, and the staff has proven to be extremely caring and patient always. Both my husband and I feel we can rely on all the staff to ensure Mum has the best of everything in her twilight years. Whilst she is 99, she is not the oldest resident, and hopefully, with
the continued care and attention she is receiving, will continue to maintain a comfortable and interesting life.
We are avid readers of the "Signature relatives" site, which keeps us up-to-date with Mum's care etc. Thank you to you all.

My father moved into The Beeches following a 3-week stay in hospital in Spring 2021. After a month of living in the home, he had improved markedly. The staff are kind and attentive, and my dad feels very well cared for. The "relatives gateway" is invaluable, as it enables us to see how he is doing day
to day.

From the first enquiry to The Beeches about my dad, who has dementia, my experience has been more than I could ever have hoped for. Having never had to do anything like this before, I had no idea what was involved. However, from the first phone call, I found the support and guidance given to me by The
Beeches invaluable. It can be a stressful and worrying time, but I knew I had help at the end of a phone, and no question was ever too much. My dad moved to The Beeches in January 2022, the care he has received has been exemplary. We are kept constantly up to date, and we know, without doubt, he is cared for with dignity and compassion. The staff are amazing, and you are always greeted by smiles.

Approached the Beeches December 2021 to look at the possibility of care for my father - Dad moved in the first week of January. From Initial enquiry to now, the staff at The Beeches have been outstanding. The care and compassion shown by all staff are amazing both with my dad and our family. Dad has
dementia which is the first experience our immediate family have had with the disease. The staff have helped my family through very difficult times, and we would not be where we are today without their help, compassion and support - above and beyond anything we ever expected.

From the first telephone enquiry through to the present time, The Beeches and its staff have been amazing. Mum and Dad are settled and happy at last, and we know that they are getting the care and support that they need. We have easy access to everything that’s happening with them through the online
portal and are always welcomed with a big smile when we visit. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone that works at the home. The whole vibe in the home is so relaxed and happy that you could easily believe you're in a 5-star hotel. I am so happy that we found The Beeches; it’s such an amazing environment for Mum and Dad to stay together and still receive all the care and support that they need.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.576)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.576) out of 10 for Brentwood Arches Care Home - Avery Collection 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 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 4.758 for Brentwood Arches Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.758

  • 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 4.818 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brentwood Arches Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 18 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 110 registered maximum number of service users is 22. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.818

  • 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.

Jana Krapkova

Job Title: Dementia Care Manager

Joined: 2015

After finishing a Business Course in the Czech Republic, I started as a carer, looking after people with mental health problems.
When I moved to England, in 2007, I originally worked as a carer in a home near Watford. At the time, my manager offered me the position of Senior Carer/Training Co-Ordinator in Romford, so I relocated to Essex.


I was looking after young, physically disabled people. I found my passion for palliative care as we worked closely with St Francis Hospice.
Years later I was promoted to Home Based Trainer and provided mandatory training to all staff. I had the opportunity to travel around different homes in the area and study a course provided by Bradford University: “Person First, Dementia Second”. After that, I knew I had to go back into care.


I have been at The Beeches since October 2015. I started as a Lead Carer and have now worked my way up as a Dementia Care Manager. I love it here and really feel like I make a difference to our residents.

*We are proud to add that Jana won the Dementia Care Manager at The National Care Awards 2017

My passion is providing excellent service, making sure families and prospective residents are guided and supported from first contact throughout the process to move in and then for their continued stay.


The decision to move yourself or a loved one into care can be a bewildering, emotional and sometimes difficult one and it's my job to make that decision an informed and peaceful one for all involved.


I am privileged to work with a team who’s knowledge, experience, empathy and understanding is second to none.
