Beechwood Homes has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: compassionate memory care and hospice staff and beautiful, well-maintained facility grounds. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Beechwood Homes receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the facility for excellent hospice and memory care, while others report severe neglect and communication failures. Recurring complaints focus on slow response times to call lights, poor hygiene, and staff indifference, particularly in the rehab and general nursing units. Families should be aware that experiences appear to vary significantly depending on the specific unit and the individual staff members on duty.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses and aides are taking such good care of her that she was discharged from Hospice. Her PT has been so good she can stand up and take a few assisted steps.”
“My sister was left in her wet in bed until 1:00 pm. She was never dressed or changed or gotten up until 1:00. This has happened before and I find it discussing.”
“They let her sit for well over an hour when asking for help to the bathroom, most times sitting in her own mess. The help acts like you are bothering them...if they come, and the admins hide behind VM and rarely return calls.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
