About Beech Dene Residential Care Home
Beech Dene Residential Care Home sits in Leek, in the Staffordshire moorlands, and we provide residential care for older people and for younger adults whose needs mean that living alone is no longer realistic. We are a home rather than an institution, and most of what we do is ordinary: helping people wash and dress, keeping an eye on health, sitting down together for meals, and making sure nobody spends the day waiting for somebody to speak to them. We support people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autism, people with physical disabilities, and residents with sight or hearing loss. Where somebody communicates differently, we learn how they do it rather than expecting them to adapt to us. We also take planned respite stays, which gives family carers a genuine break and lets people get to know us without committing to anything. We want to be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We did not welcome that, but we would rather say so plainly than talk around it. The findings gave us a clear list of things to put right, and our manager and staff team are working through them, with closer checks on our records, our medicines practice and the training we give people who work here. Families are welcome to ask us how that work is going, and we will give an honest answer rather than a comfortable one.
