I am grateful to the care staff and nurses for looking after my dad. However, I am extremely upset that when my dad passed away, we had no contact after his passing from the care home. Not even a sympathy card or flowers for the funeral.
Reply from Zeta Zeta, RQAM at Austin Rose Care Home

We are deeply sorry that we failed to send a sympathy card or flowers after your father passed away, this is something we do normally do and it has been an oversight on our part on this occasion, please accept our sincere apologies. I will discuss this with the team at Austin Rose to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you, Zeta.

Review from Colin M (Son of Resident) published on 19 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mom was placed at Austin Rose Care Home for an enhanced assessment following a period of hospitalisation. It became clear quite quickly that mom was in need of 24-hour nursing care. Having seen how mom was cared for by the staff during her assessment I actively asked if her long-term placement could
be here.
I have nothing but thanks and praise to offer to the staff all of whom made moms last few weeks as comfortable as they could be. She was treated with respect, kindness and care. I could not have wished for her to be in a better place for her final days.
I would very strongly recommend Austin Rose to anyone.

My father was placed at Austin Rose for interim care. He has received exceptional care. I am very impressed with the facility and staff. I would have liked him to stay but needed him closer to the home base. I decided it had to be another Macc Care home! We were lucky to find his new home - they have
a high standard to compare to. Well done Austin Rose. Keep up the excellent service!

Found Austin Rose Care Home comfortable and luxurious. The staff are very friendly and courteous. My mother was very poorly when she went into the home and the staff were very good with mum and bonded with her very quickly. The home still has a few teathing problems because it had only opened three
months previously. Overall I would recommend Austin Rose Care Home.

Review from S W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 2 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were recently in the heart-breaking position of having to find a care home for my mother-in-law following a major stroke. We visited a few different care homes prior to Austin Rose, none of which gave me that ‘comfortable’ feeling. When I first visited Austin Rose there was an instant sense of calmness.
It is clean, bright and airy. The staff quickly got to know my mother-in-law and us, they work closely with the family to make sure that my mother-in-law’s care needs are met, they quickly advise us of any concerns and react to any queries that we raise. The staff have helped both my mother-in-law and the family through an emotionally difficult process.


Austin Rose is a brand new home and is currently recruiting staff, however this has not compromised the levels of care as additional rooms are not opened up until the correct levels of staff are in place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our family are absolutely delighted with the care and attention and facilities which our uncle is enjoying at the Austin Rose. There can be no place better for this level of care. It's like a five-star hotel. All staff from cook, cleaner, nursing and management have been wonderful and very supportive
to us in making decisions for long-term needs for our favourite uncle.

Wonderful experience of placing dad under extreme time pressure. Staff are fabulously friendly.
Special commendation to the management team. If it weren't for them, this would have been a nightmare. They have made me feel so welcome.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been at Austin Rose for nearly a month now, before which he was in residential care at a home in Dudley.
My early impressions of this home in West Heath is that it is - and will remain - a very good place.
The management is excellent and encourages good communications between family
and staff.
Food and accommodation all top notch; the building is new and purpose built.
The management and senior staff set high standards.
My father is much happier here than his previous home and he has much more stimulation here.
He is always clean and the staff are all very patient with him.
Although early times, this home has a bright future.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Austin Rose Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.878 for Austin Rose Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (436 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 491 Ratings = 4.878
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Austin Rose Care Home is based on 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
