Right from the outset at Mum' s assessment the management team were wonderful patient and respectful and listened to Mum (even when she went off on numerous tangents. Mum's medical needs were taken into account and acted upon as were requests for certain items in her room and nothing was too much trouble.
I know Mum was safe and being cared for. Mum's room was clean bright and airy and garden space was wonderful to sit out in. All the staff were very welcoming and respectful and Mum loved the library. Lots of activities (but not Mum's thing) which was great and I could not think of a better place for Mum to get the care and attention she needed. Thank you to each and every one of you you are all lovely and I would not hesitate to recommend

Reply from Julia Ronan, Home Manager at Handsworth

We always aim to treat each resident as an individual, and it's lovely to hear that this came across throughout her stay. Your recommendation means the world to the whole team here at Handsworth. Wishing you and your family all the very best.

We were very lucky to find Handsworth Care home for our Mum. It was the perfect place for her, the staff are very kind and considerate and the residents are friendly and lovely to one another. Mum was made very welcome and despite being initially unsure about coming to live here, the warm welcome, patience
and support really helped her to settle in. She particularly enjoyed the activities when children came to visit. For us as a family it was reassuring to know that Mum was safe, and well cared for in such a lovely environment. We extend our thanks to all the staff and everyone involved with Hands worth.

My father was living independently feeling lonely & anxious trying to manage his health, medication & wellbeing. He felt resigned into moving into a care home saying he had no choice so we feared it may be unsettling for him. With the support of all the staff he is feeling more relaxed & confident each
day. To quote his words "I couldn't be in a better place. The staff can't do enough for me, they are all absolutely wonderful & the food is really good"

From my first tour and enquiries through to dad moving in and first couple of weeks, the staff/managers have all been so lovely. Everyone is cheerful, kind and caring. Dad loves the food, his room, the garden and the staff. It's clean, warm and welcoming in a lovely quiet area with nice views. Couldn't
have found a better place for dad and he is settling in well. When we take him out for lunch he wants to get back in plenty of time for meals.

MHA Handsworth is quite honestly the most homely of care homes. Spacious dining room, lounge, new hair salon and library supplemented by a beautiful garden. However the outstanding feature is the amazing team who work there. They are so kind, caring and really go the extra mile for the residents.
My
father has been there over two and a half years and we honestly think he couldn't be anywhere better. We would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing care for their family or friends.

The outstanding care and love that my sister received whilst having respite care at Handsworth was just wonderful. She has come home with so many memories of a lovely stay, the enjoyment of the activities, her choice of food from a delicious menu and overall the time spent with the staff and other residents.
She was nervous to stay and I was nervous to leave her but within minutes of taking her there she was smiling and chatting away to staff and I just felt so confident and trusting of her care. She looked so happy and cared for when I picked her up. It was obvious that to the staff nothing was too much trouble. The lovely outcome is our collective trust in Handsworth and the knowledge that my sister is happy to stay again, which means I can be sure of having respite breaks in the future. I wouldn't mind a stay at Handsworth myself! Huge thanks to everybody involved in her care.

Thank you to all the staff at Handsworth Care Home for looking after my Mum with such kindness. I have felt that every one of you has worked beyond what is expected in providing care for my Mum. The surroundings have always been pleasant, clean and warm. Mum has always looked well dressed and well looked
after. I have always felt that she has been in very safe and caring hands. There were plenty of activities going on and many caring hands to help her. She has been treated with dignity at a very difficult time in her life. Thanks again.

There are seriously not enough stars to rate the phenomenal care the staff and the facilities Handsworth provide for their residents. Trying to find the perfect home for my friend was a daunting task until I contacted Handsworth, from initial contact to enquire regarding a room to my friend being welcomed
into Handsworth was seamless, the atmosphere in Handsworth is homely, safe and loving. To leave a lifetime home to begin a new life in a new home is a heart-wrenching decision to make, but all the staff have made my friend feel at home and are encouraging him to enjoy the start of his new adventure in life, I cannot begin to thank you all enough for your meticulous attention, outstanding care, support and love shown to my friend, his friends and family, you are all an absolute credit to Handsworth and beautiful people, much love.

We as a family, cannot express our appreciation regarding the level of care and kindness, received by our brother whilst a resident at Handsworth care home. We were particularly grateful for the speedy and timely decision to offer our brother accommodation when he was most in need. Words cannot fully
express our gratitude, thank you.
All staff offered an exceptional level of care, warmth, understanding and commitment that would be hard to surpass. We were confident that our brother was well looked after and safe, what more could anyone ask for a loved member of their family. Your support meant the world to us and will not be forgotten.

I have been a regular visitor at Handsworth since 2018 when my friend became a resident. He passed away in 2019 but I continued visiting as I had built up a great relationship with other residents and the staff. In October 2023 I was visiting and there wasn't a parking space on the grounds so I parked
on the road outside. After the visit, I was a little hemmed in and in trying to go forward and reverse out of the space, I managed to lose control and crash through a neighbour's garden wall. There must have been a lot of noise, as staff members (deputy manager) and the lady from the laundry were at the forefront of rescuing me as steam and smoke billowed from the engine. I was hemmed in by a tree on my side so the girls and others managed to get me free via the passenger door. No mean feat due to my own mobility issues. Handsworth phoned the emergency services and my family and looked after me very well. Handsworth were simply amazing. I can't thank them enough. I still visit - now carless!

Handsworth is everything and more that families would want for the care of their loved ones the time my Mum has been resident here has been a most amazing and humbling experience. The staff have given their all to make Mum comfortable from day one. She arrived here at the age of 101 in reasonable health
for her age but with very limited sight.
Her need for end of life care began at the beginning of June 2023. Mum could not have been better cared for at this difficult time, the team here have made enormous efforts to make Mum comfortable from day one. They have been just as kind and caring to myself and my 2 sisters. The organisation its staff and management are a shining example of what can be achieved in caring for older people during and at the end of their lives. The humanity and respect for those in their care has been remarkable. On behalf of my sisters and our families I want to say that we will be forever grateful to Handsworth for their professional, tender loving care for Mum.

Reply from Julia Ronan, Home Manager at Handsworth

It was an absolute honour to look after your mum, from the moment she moved into Handsworth she became part of our family. Your mum was such a beautiful soul whom we all loved so dearly, and it was such a pleasure to be with her and yourselves at the end of her life, she will be missed by everyone at Handsworth.

My father spent the last two years of his life at Handsworth, he arrived during lockdown so our first impressions were a bit unusual! He had been more or less housebound for a long time and had problems with his short-term memory, but settled quickly and was soon happier than he had been for a long
time. I cannot fault the kindness and care he received at Handsworth. I found the staff endlessly compassionate and cheerful in what must have been the most trying of circumstances.
As for facilities, food, etc all are top notch. But I would like to say a special thank you to all the staff and management for their unstinting efforts to keep the residents engaged and stimulated with so many activities and special days, you just have to look at the social media page to see happy, smiling people enjoying themselves. Kindness, care, dignity, respect and fun, I don’t think you can ask for much more than that. Thank you.

Handsworth has been my mums home for the past eight years. The wonderful staff became her family caring for her to the highest standards especially during the pandemic when we weren’t able to visit her. We were constantly kept informed of any changes in mums health which was so reassuring. The staff
all embraced mums sometimes brusque personality and managed to get rare smiles from her when I couldn’t.
Sadly mum passed away very recently. The manager and staff made it possible for us to spend mums final days with her at her bedside. The care, compassion and kindness we received from everyone at Handsworth will stay with me forever.
Thank you team Handsworth from the bottom of my heart.

Handsworth Care Home is wonderful! My father spent two very happy years there, cared for with love, kindness, patience and compassion. I will be thankful for how he was treated for the rest of my life. I couldn't have asked for more for him. All the staff - and I, including the catering staff, the admin
staff and the laundry staff, along with the carers - are unfailingly cheerful and good-humoured. My dad had severe short-term memory problems, so couldn't always recognise the faces of the people who looked after him, but he always knew that he was loved. I couldn't be with him much, as I live so far away, but I knew that he was happy. The garden, the parties and celebrations, the visits from puppies and even little chicks - there is so much going on at Handsworth, which is fantastic. But in the end, it comes back to the lovely people who work there that make it so special. Thank you for looking after my dad how I would have liked to look after him myself.

I had a legal power of attorney for a lady who has just passed away after almost five years in Handsworth. It was not easy to decide on the right place for her final years but I am pleased that my first impressions have been confirmed. The professionalism and humanity of all staff, in particular the
management team, has been consistently exemplary. In the first years the stimulation and companionship was well judged, but as faculties and mobility faded, the close care and compassion was impressive. The provision of a special bed was appreciated. Through the covid period and during her final weeks the management showed an important flexibility and understanding of the needs of relatives.
I am totally satisfied that I made the right decision to select Handsworth for my charges final years. Thank you.

My uncle lived independently in his own home until 100 years of age. We were concerned that he would not settle in a care home. Handsworth has become his home, where he is treated with kindness and dignity.
It is a caring, happy environment because of the dedicated and loving members of staff who
have a lovely manager.
He loved his garden and the staff ensure that he sits in the conservatory and when the weather is good we visit him in the garden.
The staff communicate well with us, his family and we are confident that my uncle could not be anywhere better.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Handsworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.937 for Handsworth is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.937

  • b) 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 Handsworth is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
