Reviews for Southgate Beaumont Care Community

"My dad received 'end of life' care until his passing on Christmas Day. During his brief stay, Dad was very well looked after by the team of carers and nurses at Southgate Beaumont. Credit must go to the general manager for her leadership and having a great team working with her including the deputy manager, one of the key nurses, and of course the activities coordinator. I was ever present during Dad's stay, working on my laptop in a lounge adjacent to his room, which I know was of great comfort to Dad. The home is beautiful, clean and well-maintained by the cleaners and maintenance staff. Though Dad was unable to eat very much, food prepared by the chef was of a very high standard. In summary, Dad received a high level of care from a great team of professionals who really did care about Dad's well-being and who were always open to suggestions and ways in which they could improve the care given. I would have no hesitation in recommending Southgate Beaumont."

"I have been associated with Southgate Beaumont for over 15 years; almost 5 whilst my aunt was a resident, subsequent years as volunteer assisting with activities. Throughout this time, the high quality of care and the sense of well-being in very pleasant surroundings has been maintained."

"Great manager and brilliant staff who are caring and professional, beautiful building, well kept with lovely gardens and trees - activities well co-ordinated. Nice location and handy row of shops, cafes and post office across the road in "village" type Southgate Green"

"It is the second time that my wife has needed to enter Beaumont. If we had cause to complain we wouldn't have returned the second time. If I had problems I acknowledge that I would readily approach management/staff to remedy them. Overall a pleasant as can-be (under the circumstances) experience and atmosphere within the home. Appreciated by both my wife, family and I. Thank you. I have no experience in comparing the value for money aspect."

"Southgate Beaumont is a beautiful, clean, well-maintained home. It is a place where residents are valued. Families are made to feel welcome and part of the home. The staff are genuinely positively engaged in the care they give and feel pride and value in what they do and why they are there. My mother often told us how well she felt cared for and how all the staff were kind to her. The activities coordinator holds and knows each and every one of the residents. She relates to them with so much genuine dignity and brings their past and present lives to life. The physiotherapists were not only clinically excellent but also so kind, gentle and compassionate. The chef was wonderful. The general manager is visible and personally knows the residents her team are caring for. The management team constantly seek to learn and improve services for the residents and families they care for. What a wonderful place. Thank You."

"My mother is a resident of Beaumont. She was diagnosed with cancer after briefly feeling unwell. Sadly it was too late for any kind of treatment. Given her rapid decline and sudden loss of independence, I was glad to find a beautiful and spacious room available at Beaumont for her to receive the nursing care she needs. She has settled in very well. The staff are kind, caring and cheerful! The food is very good and I am happy and relieved that Mum is in good hands in a safe place when I am not there. I visit every day and know most of the staff by name. They are kind and caring to me as well! Beaumont feels like my home now as this is where my mum is. It is a lovely place to arrive at each day and it doesn’t feel like a depressing care home. Although my mum is too ill to participate in the activities, I see there are plenty of residents here who enjoy the variety of amusements available. There are too many staff to mention all by name but they all have my and mum’s sincerest gratitude."

"I had no previous experience looking at care homes before my mum became unwell. When we came to look around Beaumont we found a beautiful building, with lovely facilities including a nicely laid dining room and a lounge adjoining a library. Since my mum has come here to live we have found the care and attention to be of a very good standard. The staff are always friendly and ready to help. I cannot fault anything. If I am feeling a bit low someone is always ready with a hug. I would highly recommend it."

"My partner came to Southgate Beaumont Care Community for end-of-life care. His care by all the nurses, carers and cleaning staff was excellent. They treated him with care and consideration for the weeks he has with them. I cannot thank them enough."

"First class care home. Fantastic grade II building with beautiful interiors. All staff are very professional and caring. The general manager conducted a pre-assessment at home out of hours, on the weekend, at very short notice. The nursing staff kept me informed of residents' health and nursing needs continually and could not be more accommodating. The chef would prepare any meal resident wished, although the daily menu was excellent. The room overlooked beautiful grounds with all the required facilities. Would not hesitate to use this care home again, if the need arises."

"I have been more than satisfied with the care and attention my mother gets in the home. Her room is spacious and comfortable and she is well looked after. Her meals are quite adequate for her needs, and I am kept up to date on her condition and situation on a regular basis. My personal dealings have always been on a helpful and understanding basis, as I live 300 miles away from the home. In short, I would recommend this home to anyone."

"I spent three weeks respite in Beaumont Southgate to spend time with my husband who is in residential care. I really enjoyed the experience and could find no fault with anything. Everything was first-class and the staff are very helpful and friendly. During my stay, it was our 60th Diamond Wedding Anniversary and the management and staff arranged a surprise celebration do. We were overwhelmed by the lovely event and thank everyone for their thoughtfulness."

"I would like to thank all the staff at Barchester Southgate involved in the care of my mother-in-law. When she arrived, she was very confused, weak and poorly. With the excellent care provided for her she regained her strength and lived her last few months in comfort. She passed away with great dignity and for this, we shall always be grateful."

"I arrived just a week before lockdown in 2020. I was made very welcome and other flat residents helped me to settle in and learn how the home was organised. The staff have been most helpful, cheerful and encouraging during this difficult year. It is difficult to understand and keep abreast of the changing regulations due to Covid."

"We asked Southgate Beaumont to provide respite care after my uncle received heart surgery, he is 92. The home is spotless, extremely well furnished, warm and inviting. The level of care is world-class. The food standard is very acceptable. The carers are fantastic and always go the extra mile. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have placed my uncle in Southgate Beaumont, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. We have received regular communication and they have kept the residents safe. A "great team"."

"My father (89-years-old) needed respite care after a fall, giving him time to regain his strength, confidence and allow him to return home. The Barchester was able to welcome him to stay at short notice, where he enjoyed the daily activities, meals and care."

"Generally positive. Some stellar staff. Work needed to improve security of valuables. Good range of activities. Staff are knowledgeable and generally caring. The softer, gentler approach by staff, speaking at a calm and measured pace brought out the best in our relative, whether it was kitchen staff, housekeeping, carers etc. This was generally the experience."

"The staff treated our mother with respect, friendliness and kindness. Her stay in this grand house contributed majorly to her rehabilitation and after 14 weeks of top quality care, she was able to return home. As visitors we were always greeted with genuine warmth, staff knew us by name and mum warmed to everyone over the weeks as her health improved. Mum looked forward to the list of events and participated in many of them enthusiastically. I would say that e-communication or telephone calls back is not a strong point, very few emails were answered promptly and some not at all, so if you want to ask or query anything - do it in person. A big thanks to everyone at the Beaumont."

"My husband arrived at Beaumont three months ago. He found it very difficult at first, confused mainly. He has now settled down, his needs are fairly complex but staff are now getting used to him as he cannot speak to ask for anything. He loves music and television. The thing that he loves most is the 'entertainment', he cannot take part in many of the various things for residents to enjoy, but music and pets are a vital part for him and make a big difference. Management has always reacted well if I need to speak with them and the staff are very good but very busy. Thank you."

"I have lived here for almost 5 years and have been comfortable with the caring and nursing services provided. The management provides an eclectic range of activities for a wide mix of residents - both mental and physical pursuits at differing levels of engagement - and entertainment by professional visiting musicians and local amateur groups; films, lectures, visits from local schools, pet therapy etc; 1/2 day trips to venues in the area and outings for both mobile and wheelchair-bound residents. The carers are trained by the company and their attitudes and competencies are monitored. The standard of décor is maintained at a high level and the cleaning staff work very diligently to keep the rooms and public spaces clean."

"My father was a resident there for 2 and a half years. I cannot speak highly enough for everything they did for him. I know as a daughter I drove them mad for certain things. They cared for my father and even called him Papa (Daddy) - but cared for him like their own. He enjoyed the activities and loved the carers and residents there. I cannot thank the manager enough. She listened and was always a shoulder to cry on and I will never forget what they did for the best dad in the World."

"Barchester Beaumont has cared for my mother for about three and a half years, during this time she has enjoyed a healthy life taking part in the various activities and daily life at the home. Her health remains good and she receives daily care and help that would not have been available if she was still living at home alone. Thank you, Beaumont."

Just a short note to express my gratitude for the care you and your staff took of my mother.  It seems everyone was very fond of her. Also thank you for the support and friendship I received.
Best Wishes

I would like to thank you and all the staff for their efforts and hard work to make Christmas/New year period so special for all us residents.
I was very impressed by the lovely new year's buffet to which the residents and their guests were invited to. The catering staff did wonders with the presentation and the hostesses were very attentive, particularly assisting those with limited ability.

I would also like to thank all the staff that have cared for me so well in my room from the time I arrived in late June 2013.
My Best wishes to you an all the staff for 2014
