Reviews for Edgbaston Beaumont Care Home

"My mother moved into Beaumont Care Home 2 and a half 5 years ago when she started to struggle with independent living (she is now 97). She has always been very independent and I had reservations as to whether she would adapt to a care home environment. Well she has, and it has given her a new lease of life! Staff are excellent and there is a very low staff turnover (a big positive); caring, attentive and 'switched on' to individual residents needs and personalities. This has removed a huge burden of worry as we know she is safe and being well cared for. The activities program has provided mental, social and physical stimulation - and she has joined in things that we never thought she would! Food is very good. Rooms are comfortable. Visiting is anytime. Overall - cannot fault it!"

"When I was admitted I was feeling very ill and unable to look after myself. During my time here I have been comfortable and have, at all times, felt safe and very well cared for. I have made a lot of progress thanks to the skilled and helpful staff and management."

"Before choosing the Beaumont, we 'checked out' and visited four homes. I was apprehensive at first as I have never stayed in either a nursing home or respite care before. I have been so impressed I've been at the Beaumont for respite on two separate occasions. The staff and manager are very friendly and welcoming. Meal times, the chef and staff came and enquired regarding my preferences, regularly. If I was ever in any difficulty the staff were obliging. As I was a younger respite user (the only young resident) The environment is very clean and restful. Housekeeping and domestic duties daily routines and respectful. Maybe have more social activities for the younger clients."

"The Beaumont is a small and comfortable care home with good staff who have looked after my mother well. There are some potential areas for improvement such as consultation with relatives over care plans but overall my experience has been satisfactory - good in difficult circumstances."

"My daughter came to Beaumont care home over six years ago. She has great care and kindness from carers and nurses. The cleanliness is perfect and staff so very polite and helpful. I wouldn't want her to live anywhere else."

"We settled quickly here. There is a pleasant homely feel to this home. There is a friendly atmosphere generated by the staff. The lovely garden is much appreciated. Entertainments of various sorts are provided and classes, shopping trips and hairdressing are to hand."

"I stayed at the Beaumont for two periods of four weeks each, after operations on my shoulders. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff - nurses, carers, cleaners, the chef, all treated me with exemplary kindness and respect. The food was great, the place is comfortable. My only doubt was that on my second stay, the staff seemed more stretched than previously, maybe more carers needed?"

"Accommodation lovely before the current upgrade so will be even better post decoration. Staff very attentive and willing to help wherever possible. The phone is answered straightaway. Activities are organised regularly. Mum is cared for extremely well. Care home manager knowledgeable and takes pride in what she does. She runs a tight ship."

"I contacted and contracted Barchester Edgbaston Beaumont and as much as they are bit pricey got exactly what I needed. The buildings and accommodation are beautifully and elegantly decorated, the food is excellent and then we come to the staff and delivered services: The GM runs a tight ship. She visited me in the hospital prior to arrival at her home and thus ensured that all was prepared, relevant and in accordance with my needs from both a Scope and Quality point of view. I can't thank her enough. Her tone of commitment and professionalism propagates thru the rest of the staff and they subsequently provided prompt, efficient and pleasant respite services. A truly wonderful experience."

"We had looked at many care homes before deciding on Barchester Edgbaston Beaumont and are reminded every time we visit of the reasons why we chose it for our father. The care is exemplary. The staff are so friendly and caring and always have time to talk. They make you feel as though everyone is part of a happy family. We love the new dining room and the beautiful lounge where visitors can sit and have a coffee and a homemade cake. To sum up - outstanding."

"We had some issues with Social Services and Beaumont was amazingly patient and kept telling me not to stress. The thing is they care for the relatives too. When mom went in for respite I wasn’t keen that we did the 3-way agreement in a public area. It wouldn’t have taken much to have done it in an office or even mom’s room. Mom has advanced dementia and mom was very well cared for. Regular staff were always on. The food was always eye appealing and exceptionally tasty. Mom was encouraged to take on fluids too. Staff did seem thin on the ground at times, but this is so in all establishments. The extremely experienced manager has everything in hand. She is approachable and the staff have nothing but praise for her. I think by the time this review goes to print Barchester will be back to being brilliant Barchester again! I have every faith that Barchester is on the up again. If I put my mom in there, it must be good!"

"We are really happy with the care that our father receives at Barchester Edgbaston Beaumont. From the cleaners to the nursing staff, all are so friendly and caring and when we leave after a visit, we leave with peace of mind. The food is amazing and any special requests are not a problem but most of all, the residents are treated like family, with dignity and care. One word. Wonderful."

"The building is fine and the staff very willing to help. I am sorry to find very few staff around a lot of the time. I know many residents have more needs than 'mine' but she still needs and wants attention and interest. I also feel some staff lack training in the particular needs of elderly people. Thank you."

"My mum has had a lovely week of respite here and it was wonderful to see a big smile on her face when we came to collect her. She has made some friends and said how much she will miss being here. My mind was at rest with her being at Edgbaston Beaumont in the knowledge that she was receiving fantastic care. Thank you to the manager and her team."

"Lovely surroundings, both inside and outside are at a high standard. Lounges and coffee bar very comfortable and nice for the residents to visit. All staff polite to residents and visitors. The registered nurses were supportive to myself and family - much appreciated. The carers were always polite and cheerful with residents and visitors - hard working. On the minus side, one more carer is needed for each shift for the residents."

"We have been delighted with the quality and sensitivity of care for our relatives. Their needs are, at times, challenging and are also quite divergent and staff make every effort to understand and respond sensitively and promptly. Some staff may benefit from more time to understand their needs in more depth, but given the short space of time since admission, this is understandable."

"My mother is extremely happy at the Beaumont. It is really like a "Bijou" hotel. As a family, we are delighted we chose this home. Staff are friendly and attentive, not only to my mother's needs but our own concerns too. The open-door policy means we can come whenever we want to knowing there will always be a nurse to talk to about things. I would highly recommend the Beaumont to anyone who is looking for the best care for a loved one."

"In the past, care has been "up and down" with several changes/disruption in management. The current manager is and has always been superb and the majority of the staff seem caring and committed. But in the past, they have been overworked, so the standard of care dropped and communication was not always good. At the present time, I am 100% satisfied! Keep it up!"

"We have been delighted with the care Dad has received at Beaumont. The staff have been both professional and friendly and made us all feel at ease. They have been quick to understand and accommodate his needs. The food is fresh, varied and well cooked and there is a wealth of activities provided both on and off-site. It is reassuring that I can leave Dad knowing he is safe and well cared for."

"We received a very warm welcome when Mum moved to Edgbaston Beaumont. It is a beautiful place, with a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Staff are caring and friendly and have got to know Mum well very quickly. The meals are delicious. Mum is eating well and starting to put on weight, which I am very happy about. The managers are approachable and friendly."

"My husband has been in the care of the Edgbaston Nursing Home for four months and he has received excellent care during that time. All nurses have been extremely kind, understanding, and caring and I couldn't have asked more of them. This period of lockdown and isolation has been very difficult but in spite of their added workload, the nurses have always been able to give me time to explain how my husband is progressing."

"I am very grateful to the Manager at Edgbaston, Beaumont, for enabling my aunt to become a resident at very short notice after a stay in hospital. All the paperwork was completed quickly and efficiently to enable her transfer. The nursing staff were all very caring and attentive to her needs and kept me informed of her condition (I do not live near Birmingham). On my visits, all members of the staff team showed their care for my aunt and were working in her best interests. When I initially visited Beaumont for a tour I was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms and communal areas. The garden was also a big attraction as the ground floor residents had access to it from their rooms. All staff did everything they could to make my aunt comfortable, for which I am very thankful."

"As a person living alone, I was looking for somewhere to provide care for the three weeks after a knee replacement operation. This home gave me temporary care, providing not only accommodation but also nursing care, managing my medication, changing dressings and removing stitches. I was very well cared for by the staff who were unfailingly attentive and supportive for my short stay."
