Beechwood Manor Inc

I was previewing assisted living centers for my mother and in doing my research, found "Cindy," is mentioned in a State record. Not good.

Choosing Beechwood Manor for my mom’s care was one of the best decisions our family has ever made. From the moment she was admitted, we felt the warmth, professionalism, and true compassion of everyone on staff — especially Hillary and Cyndie, who were absolutely incredible throughout the entire experience. Hillary is a phenomenal leader and a true asset to Beechwood Manor. Her attention to detail, her genuine care for both residents and their families, and her ability to go above and beyond on a daily basis truly blew us away. Cyndie was just as wonderful — consistently kind, supportive, and always available when we had questions or needed guidance. Together, they make an amazing team that sets the tone for the entire facility. What stood out most was the way they cared for my mom — not just physically, but with a level of kindness and thoughtfulness that’s rare to find. From making sure her meal preferences were thoughtfully accommodated, to ensuring her comfort at all times, every little detail was handled with care. Even during late hours, the staff was attentive, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile. As a family, we felt completely supported. They kept us informed every step of the way, always taking time to update us, answer our questions, and involve us in her care. We never once felt out of the loop — we felt like partners, and more importantly, we felt like our mom was genuinely loved and cared for. Beechwood Manor isn’t just a care facility — it’s a place full of heart. The level of compassion and commitment we experienced is something we will never forget. Thank you to Hillary, Cyndie, and the entire team for taking such phenomenal care of my mom and for making us feel like part of your family.

Absolutely love this place. Outstanding staff, med techs, activity directors, office staff and maintenance and laundry staff. We’ve been here a few months now and my sister has been treated very well- everyone is very kind and attentive. The staff calls everyone by their name- which is so personal and thoughtful. The food is outstanding and the facility is very clean and well kept. Cleaning crew is unbelievable how spotless they keep the whole facility.We couldn’t have found a better place for my sister and we’re all very grateful and thankful for Beechwood and all they do on a daily basis. Very impressed with everything

It’s heartwarming to see so many recent positive reviews of Beechwood. I am in the building consistently and can say that the staff cares deeply about the residents. There are no perfect Assisted Livings out there, just as there are no perfect households, but Beechwood is not a corporate run business. It’s privately owned. It passes inspections and license reviews with ease. It is staffed by only direct-hires so there is control over the quality of services. Caregivers, life enrichment staff, food services and housekeeping/maintenance are all hired in-house. Much of the staff has been there for years, some up to 20 years! The building is clean, the life enrichment department ensures there are daily exercise sessions and activities, as well as regular outings, faith services and entertainment. The food services department tracks residents’ diet plans and ensures they receive healthy, well rounded, scratch-cooked meals with fresh produce delivered three times per week from Eastern Market. The care department rounds regularly, assists with ambulation, incontinence care, med management, wound care, bathing and so much more. Beechwood doesn’t have a separate secured Memory Care unit. Instead, Memory Care residents are integrated within the community, and are kept safe using a Wander Guard system and more-so by staff involvement. This is a team that cares! My grandmother lived here, and I know a couple staff members who also brought their loved ones. When I read through the reviews, I see that a number of one-star reviews all stem from one family who was upset about COVID restrictions. Beechwood, like all assisted living communities, was bound by regulations and by safety considerations, and when that family brought the County Commissioner to the building claiming that Beechwood was making its own rules, the Commissioner reviewed all the actions, commended Beechwood for following the regulations, and corrected the family. That was a trying time for so many people. I can understand that family’s stress, but also understand and respect Beechwood’s responsibility to abide by regulations and prioritize resident safety. Other families were grateful. It would have been better if those negative reviews were more honest about the reasons for their ratings so they were more useful to readers, rather than just trying to squash a forty-year community business’ reputation. I’d encourage anyone considering assisted living to schedule a tour and see for themselves. Talk to staff and residents when you’re there. Ask about the pros and cons. Wherever you take your loved one, look past chandeliers and fancy decor. People have been leaving some of those fancier places and moving to Beechwood for better care. Find out if staff is direct-hire or contracted out (a revolving door). Ask if food is fresh and scratch-cooked. Ask if food and laundry services are included in the price or are extra charges. Do the smell test. Beechwood isn’t afraid to show you what it has to offer, even if you stop in unexpectedly. There’s no smoke and mirrors. The pricing is straightforward. Some places show you cheaper rent but then increase the price dramatically with levels of care. Beechwood’s pricing is also based on levels of care but it’s honest and clear-cut. Oh, and Beechwood offers respite care, and is launching senior DAY CARE services too! Go visit!

Great facility. Staff is outstanding, always helpful and caring. Clean and well kept. Special mention of Hillary (nursing director) They couldn't be more kind. All facilities should be run like this!
