MHA Waterside House provides residential and dementia care for up to 60 residents within a comfortable and accessible living environment. Located just a short distance from Wednesfield shopping centre and Bentley Bridge retail park, with scenic spots like the nearby canal adding to its appeal. The home is made up of four distinct wings—Bluebell, Primrose, Magnolia, and Heather—each featuring en-suite rooms, lounges and shared dining areas.

The landscaped gardens offer residents a peaceful retreat to enjoy nature. With a summer house, flower-filled pocket gardens, and patio seating areas, the outdoor spaces are perfect for relaxation and outdoor activities. Residents actively engage in gardening projects like the Pot Gang, growing vegetables such as tomatoes, chillies, and potatoes for meals.

Specialising in dementia and residential care, the team utilises innovative tools like interactive ‘magic tables’ and robotic pets to engage and comfort residents. Long-serving staff, many of whom have been part of the team since 2005, provide compassionate, consistent care. The home also offers spiritual support through a chaplain and a relatives’ support group to keep families connected.

Waterside House provides a reassuringly familiar and homely setting where residents feel connected, comfortable, and cared for every day. Whether you’re searching for yourself or a loved one, for short stays or residential and dementia care, the team at Waterside House are here to help.

Review from M S (Husband of Resident) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was placed in Waterside House in September 2023 following a massive stroke which severely impaired her ability to communicate. From the moment she arrived she received wonderful care form all the staff from the home manager to the most junior carer. She was at times exceedingly difficult to
care for, times when the staff showed her love patience and care for beyond what could be expected. The atmosphere of Waterside is one of love in everything they do, you feel it from the moment you walk into the home. That atmosphere of a second home is created by the dedicated staff who work tirelessly to maintain standards and make residents happy in what is a difficult period of their lives.

My sister has been in Waterside for over five years now, and we have never had any concern for her welfare. She could not be cared for any better. All the staff from management to carers, kitchen, entertainer and garden staff are so friendly and caring, and always there to ask anything and really go
out of their way to help in any way they can, so we never have to worry about my sister.

An excellent care home in a purpose-built building for residents with dementia. Staff are hardworking and very caring. The management are always available to listen and to act on any requirements. The chaplain is very kind and actively involved with the community to meet any faith or emotional support
needs. I would highly recommend this care home.

We visit my aunt every week and find the staff very welcoming. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. The home is clean and my aunt is very well cared for always clean, hair beautiful (a visit to hairdresser in home each week). Lots of entertainment for the residents and keep fit. Exercise for
their minds and body.
A warm and welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.

Kind caring staff that go above and beyond to include the residents in fun activities. They always have time for a chat. The home itself is warm and welcoming. Families are made to feel so welcome when visiting. They help us create amazing memories with our mom, helping to create a fantastic tea party
for her recent birthday. All homes should be like this!

What a wonderful home Waterside House is, I say home because that's just what it feels like. I'm so glad we made the choice for my mom to stay there. Right from the start all the staff made her feel very welcome catering for all her needs always with a smile and kindness. As I live quite a way from
the home it is reassuring to know that I'm kept well informed of any issues or problems and they are always dealt with promptly. The home is always buzzing with something to keep everyone happy the entertainment girls are wonderful encouraging everyone to join in. What a wonderful team you all are. Thank you.

Waterside House is a warm and caring community.
The staff takes excellent care of my mom and all the other residents, which is such a relief knowing she is safe and happy.
I am kept aware of any health issues, receiving phone calls if there is a problem and the staff offering reassurance they are
dealing with any emergencies. As I live a long way from the home this is so helpful.
There are always activities of some sort happening which help to keep my mom happy and alert.
Music is said to help Dementia sufferers and you can always hear something on the sound system which is wonderful. The activities coordinators are amazing bringing the home to life and involving everyone. Thursday hairdressing day is a delight to see.
There's a great community of families and we all enjoy helping with activities and fundraising events.
Every member of staff gives 100% and deserves a big thank you.
I cannot praise Waterside House enough and am so happy we found them to help us with mom's autumn years.

Waterside is always very well maintained and all areas are cleaned to a high standard. Residents are very well cared for and regular activities and entertainment ensure that they do not become bored. My mother-in-law enjoys the food and is actually eating more than she did previously at home. The regular
religious services on a Sunday are a particularly welcome highlight of the week for her.

My Nan is at the home and she is settled and happy here. The staff are all kind and caring. It is clear to see whenever we visit that she is well looked after and that all the staff know my Nan and all show so much kindness to her everyone they see her.
The home is always so clean and my nan's room
is lovely. It feels like a nice place to be and not an old people’s home. Nan is always at a party or doing an activity which she loves and we love to see her so happy.

The staff at the home are all so kind and caring. They make the residents feel loved and cared for every single day. The home has two fantastic ladies who are the event ladies and they do a wonderful job making sure that the residents have fun each and every day. They had a wonderful Mother’s Day afternoon
tea event, St Patrick’s Day event and have a fun day planned for Easter, including residents and their families.
The food is lovely and the rooms are also very homely.
When you visit you can feel the happy, caring vibe in the home, which is so nice when you are trusting them to look after your loved one.

The care received by my dad at Waterside House was second to none. All staff members genuinely seemed to take great pride in their jobs and this was reflected in how kind and compassionate they are towards all of the residents. As someone whose father has dementia, you often worry that other people
do not understand the nuance of the disease and how this can manifest itself in agitation and discontent. At Waterside House, the carers are experts in dementia care. We cannot thank them enough for taking such fantastic care of Dad while he was in respite there. We really would recommend Waterside House to anyone who needs it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Waterside House 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.902 for Waterside House is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.902
  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 Waterside House is based on 17 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 17 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.
