My father moved into Woodlands at The Beeches in June. He had Alheimer's for approximately 3 years and had not really spoken or interacted for the past year. After spending a few weeks at The Beeches getting to know the carers and his new routine, my dad started to talk to us again. The carers were
fully qualified to know how to assist him emotionally as well as physically and took time to always help.


Unfortunately, my dad passed away on 11th October. He was looked after with respect and dignity, along with full medical care to keep him comfortable to the end. I was also given a much appreciated huge amount of support.

I came in 'The Beeches' for respite care. Unfortunately, I fractured my wrist so stayed here longer than first planned.
The treatment and care here was excellent, I return home greatly improved.

My father in law is 88 and was quite poorly. Immediately he arrived he was given so much attention and care it was overwhelming. The care staff were remarkable making him feel very special and they sorted out his needs straight away by getting medication very quickly, avoiding a bad chest infection.
Within days we've seen a huge difference, his appetite has improved, the food is great and the restaurant staff very attentive. This has completely changed our perception of care homes, it is more like a five-star hotel with carers. I feel relieved that he is being well looked after and in a safe environment. It is so nice to see him enjoying himself again with all the lovely activities and socialising with people his own age he honestly has not stopped smiling.

My parents finally agreed to move into The Beeches after my father had two stays in hospital in 2 months - they were in Somerset, my sister and I live in Essex. He had developed a chest infection prior to the move, which was picked up by the staff immediately by the staff so he saw the doctor very quickly
for a second course of antibiotics. Despite this, he deteriorated so they called the ambulance. He was in hospital for over a week. I believe if he has not been in The Beeches where his health is monitored very closely, the infection would have got far worse and may well have caused his demise.


All carers are very positive, upbeat and seem genuinely caring. They spend time talking to them so real relationships have formed very quickly. The physical care is also excellent. Management are also hands on and impressive.

My 99-year-old mother has been a resident at The Beeches for nearly 3 years. She has her own apartment so has her independence but at the same time carers, housekeeping, medical staff, maintenance people and activities staff are always on hand. In all the time she has been at The Beeches, the staff
have been caring, helpful and cheerful. The meals with plenty of choices are served to the residents, there is a lovely garden and a happy atmosphere.

It is quite a traumatic experience for both the person entering a care home and the family leaving them there. The staff and management at Signature The Beeches made the transition as painless as possible. Friendly, caring and supportive, nothing was too much trouble for the carers. The residents are
happy, smiling, friendly and well taken care of in clean and comfortable surroundings. Fantastic atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, excellent service.

My mother was at Signature The Beeches until she recently passed away due to dementia. She was probably one of the more challenging residents due to the way dementia affected her. I cannot recommend this care home enough for the way she was cared for. We, as a family, also felt very cared for throughout
a distressing time in our lives. It was a wonderful place to be able to visit with family members, lots of places to sit with a relative privately and spend time with them in a beautiful environment. The level of care is second to none and you do feel part of a very special place. Attention to detail is everywhere but especially to the things in life which really matter. I could go home knowing my mum was in the best hands she could be, which is priceless.

Couldn't be more pleased with the standard of care my brother in law is receiving. Staff are in tune with his every need and are alert to any warning signs that he is stressed.
Very caring indeed.
The standard of his room and home in general is very high and makes our visits much more pleasant.

My parents came together in August 2015 and I cannot have been happier and confident about their care here.
My mother was struggling at their home. Not only did they make the last few months of my father's life comfortable but his care was outstanding. My mother has remained and I am confident that
this is the best place for her.
She has found a place which gives her independence but also care when needed. The staff are friendly including reception and cleaning staff.

Beeches has been for my partner and I the most wonderful fine, without the support of Beeches and the staff I would not have been able to carry on.
My partner who is 70 has had dementia for five years and attend Beeches three days a week. He loves the staff who treat him with much respect and kindness.

Whilst I have only been in Signature The Beeches since mid-April to now, I have found myself very happy and contented here. Any problems have been quickly resolved and made to feel at home. I am not easy to please where food is concerned but I have no complaints where that is concerned. Room facilities
are excellent and would recommend to anyone.

I found the staff members of all the teams so welcoming and keen to help.


Although this was a short visit, I would be coming again, and have stopped looking at any other care homes in the area.

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.
