Meet The Manager

Lindsey Grady is Home Manager at The Beeches.

The Beeches was built in 2004 and acquired by MHA in May 2011. The home provides residential and dementia care for up to 44 older people.

The Beeches is situated within its own grounds in the small town of Wath-upon-Dearne just outside Rotherham. The town dates back to Norman times, having an entry in the Domesday Book, and was described as “the Queen of villages” by poet James Montgomery in the 19th century. The location ensures both quiet surroundings and a relaxed pace of life. There are community amenities close by including shops, a library and a Post Office.

Description

We encourage our residents to furnish their rooms as they wish. This could be as simple as hanging a couple of their favourite pictures on the wall, but they’re also welcome to bring their own comfy chair or anything that makes them feel at home. The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled. All rooms have an en suite sink and toilet. Some rooms also enjoy lovely garden views and there’s WiFi throughout the home. We have a call system that  can be operated by a hand control or a pendant depending on personal preference.

Activities Are So Important

We have a schedule of optional events and activities, helping residents to explore their interests and discover new ones. There are animal visits, armchair exercises, gardening, arts and crafts, quizzes, bible studies and church services. We also have a dedicated chaplain and offer music therapy for our residents living with dementia. We often invite local singers and musicians in to perform and enjoy regular trips out to the local village.

Our approach to care is a truly holistic one, always intending to nurture your loved one’s mind, body and spirit. This comes as part of our promise to you and our residents, to help them genuinely live a better, more fulfilled life.

It’s about respecting their individual needs, listening and understanding, and presenting them with opportunities and daily activities to keep their minds and bodies active.

Whether they flourish in a lively group activity or prefer to re-charge in the peaceful surroundings of one of our quiet spaces, our home is brimming with inspiration and potential.

We support everybody’s individual choices, interests and hobbies and our passionate Activity Coordinator loves keeping residents active and entertained. They provide a fun-packed and stimulating schedule for people to participate in as they choose.

There are arts and crafts, gardening, external entertainers, bingo and quizzes just to mention a few of the things we get up to.

We have close links with GP surgeries, district nurses and dentists. Our in-house hair salon keeps everyone looking their best and we also provide regular gentle exercise sessions and reflexology.

We’re committed to helping residents make the most of every single day. Seize The Day is our unique initiative to support residents to fulfill their ambitions and make their dreams come true. Whether it be a ride on ‘The Big One’ at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a trip in a fire engine, or a visit to the swimming pool; we will move mountains to make it happen. Seize the Day is funded by charitable donations and is available to all residents.

MHA is a leading provider of music therapy in dementia care across the UK. Funded entirely by charitable donations, these award-winning weekly sessions are led by our highly-trained therapists and can have an incredibly powerful and positive impact on a person’s well-being.

At The Beeches, our music therapists interact with residents through singalongs, playing simple percussion instruments and responding to musical cues in either a one-to-one or group setting. These sessions often prove to be truly life-enhancing, helping people to unlock special memories and express their feelings and emotions.
