About Beechcroft
Beechcroft is a residential care home in Torquay, supporting older people, residents living with dementia, a mental health condition, a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who need care in a smaller setting. We also offer respite stays. We should say at the outset that our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We would rather tell you that plainly than have you come across it elsewhere. We understand what the inspection identified, we have been working steadily through it, and we are willing to talk you through where we have got to if you are considering the home for someone. What we are aiming for is a settled house where the day belongs to the people living in it. Residents should choose when to get up, what to eat and how to spend their time, and staff should have the time to sit and talk rather than only work through tasks. Support with personal care, mobility, medication and meals should be given in a way that protects dignity. For residents living with dementia or with sensory loss, familiar faces, steady routines, good lighting and unhurried explanation do a great deal of the work. Families are welcome, questions are welcome, and so is scrutiny. If you would like to visit Beechcroft, please get in touch.
