Beaufort Grange was selected for my mother-in-law by myself and her two daughters when she was discharged from hospital. We chose the home as it was bright, clean and friendly and had the facilities required. It was very local for me and my wife and only a 10-15 minute journey for my sister-in-law.
We couldn't have chosen a better nursing home.

Beaufort Grange has a very happy atmosphere and is well maintained.
The staff are all very caring and work extremely hard to achieve a level of excellence but I do feel that at certain times (ie meal times) the care team are understaffed. The activities team are superb and provide great entertainment
for residents and their families. The team leader is great and effective.

Mum died in February age 97, she had been a resident here for 5 and a half years and really enjoyed it. Her family enjoyed visiting her as the care home was so welcoming. I continue to visit when I can. The change of management appears to be very good - the staff seem to be more content and relaxed.
Excellent activities staff.

My main criteria for picking Beaufort Grange was to ensure that my father was safe and happy in his "new home". I have not been disappointed and I have felt that over the last two months there has been even further improvements in my father's welfare and care at Beaufort Grange.
The management and
staff have high standards and in my opinion, these have risen over the last two months. This has put my mind at ease as he is enjoying his new surroundings.

The room was spacious, well fitted out and quiet. The bathroom needed a small cabinet, free-standing, to hold my toiletries as I am unable to reach a wall cabinet. I also needed a bathroom stool. Both were provided immediately as was a footstool.
The staff made sure that I was comfortable before I
settled in. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, I cannot fault them. Food - plenty of it and a good choice.

Dad has settled well into Beaufort Grange. He has a lovely ground floor room. He is happy and content. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dad joins in some of the activities, the quizzes and songs of praise afternoons. I have been made to feel welcome and can visit Dad at any time. Dad has a very limited

The service in Beaufort Grange is extremely good. Staff are always helpful and willing to provide support. The bedrooms are spacious with adjoining bathrooms. Meals are adequate (most residents would have fairly small appetites). Rooms are well furnished and refreshments are easily available. TV in
all individual rooms. The whole atmosphere is pleasant and staff are invariably willing to help. Individual needs are met without question.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Barchester Beaufort Grange 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 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 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 4.826 for Barchester Beaufort Grange is calculated as follows: ( (546 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 651 Ratings = 4.826

  • 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 Barchester Beaufort Grange is based on 55 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 55 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.

Peter

Peter

Job Title: Nurse

Joined: 2023

Hello, I'm Peter. I've been a nurse for over 14 years. I'm a registered nurse with certification in public health and occupational health nursing.


Right from childhood, I've been so fascinated with caring for the human body. This fascination led me to study nursing, and through that, I developed compassion for human care and the art of nursing generally.


Prior to my move to the United Kingdom, I worked in different departments of hospitals in southern Nigeria. I worked as an occupational health Nurse in different field locations such as seismic, offshore, and oil rigs.


My background in public health and occupational health nursing, which is geared towards disease prevention, work safety, accidents, and incident management at the workplace, helps my performance as a nurse in this Beaufort Grange care home.


Personally, nursing affords me the opportunity to touch human lives, and doing this gives me so much satisfaction.
