So pleased Mum is being looked after so well and the staff are brilliant. Can't think of a better place she could be in the circumstances
So pleased Mum is being looked after so well and the staff are brilliant. Can't think of a better place she could be in the circumstances.
Cleanliness is to a high standard and a nutritional, varied diet. Very pleased with the level of care.
The care home always appears to be a happy place to work at and that is reflected in the high standard of care.
Excellent care given to my bedbound grandmother.
She is treated with utmost respect and very well looked after.
Her room is spotless, the bed is always freshly changed, whatever day of the week I choose to visit.
Couldn't ask for more for her!
The location of the Care Home is excellent and my wife enjoys being taken for a walk down the hill to the river when the weather is kind.
The care my mother receives is second to none and all the staff are excellent. Mother's room is very light and airy and is well-kept. All meals are of a good standard. I would recommend this home to anyone.
Always made to feel very welcome it’s like being a part of a family.
About Us
Beech Lodge is situated in St Austell, Cornwall.
Our History
Beech Lodge was originally the home of the founder of the St Austell Brewery. The house was built in around 1851.
At the entrance to Beech lodge is the historical site of Menacuddle Well.
Menacuddle well and the Druids Chair is located in a green area below the road to St Austell and the well house butts tightly against the twenty foot high wall. It is surrounded by trees and rhododendron bushes, beside a gentle stream and a waterfall.
The small granite well house was originally built in the late 15th. century and restored by Sir Charles Graves Sawle in 1922. A Gothic archway leads into the peaceful sanctuary where the crystal clear water springs forth, in glaring contrast to the milky white, china clay tainted water flowing in the river beside it. In the Middle Ages there was an important chapel in the area adjoining this well house, although no trace of it now remains.
