About The Beeches Care Home
The Beeches Care Home provides residential care in Rowley Regis for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with mental health needs. We also take planned respite stays, which give family carers a rest and let people try us before making any longer decision. Most of what makes a care home work is undramatic. Getting up when you want to, food you actually want to eat, staff who know your name and your habits, and somebody noticing when you are quieter than usual. That is what we concentrate on, and for people living with dementia it matters more than anything else, because familiarity and a calm unhurried approach do more good than any amount of activity. We need to be honest about our inspection position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We are not going to present that as a misunderstanding. It reflected real shortfalls, and our manager and staff have been working through them, with tighter arrangements around medicines, clearer record keeping, more training and supervision, and regular internal checks so problems come to light quickly. There is more to do and we will not pretend otherwise. If you are thinking about The Beeches for somebody you love, please come and see us, ask what has changed since the inspection, and speak to residents and relatives while you are here rather than taking our word for it.
