The staff and management were the best money could buy. My wife could not have better treatment if I had been a millionaire. When my wife passed away she could not have been in a better place or looked after by better people. They all deserve due recognition. If I need looking after I know where to
come.

I have been a full-time resident since August 2019 The home is fabulous, extremely clean and comfortable. The nurses and carers can't do enough for you no matter what the time is. All my visitors including professionals say how they are made feel welcome and that is one of the cleanest they have visited.
In
summary, it's a real home from home, in fact, it's like a 5-star hotel.

Mum came in two months ago for end of life care. We could not have asked for better care - the staff have all been kind, caring and very loving. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty, not only for Mum but Dad and I as well.
Her room was lovely, I only wish she could have appreciated it
more.
The facilities are second to none - the whole home is spotlessly clean. Mum would have approved.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Our team take pride in providing compassionate and loving care to our residents. Your dad is always welcome to come.

My grandad was looked after brilliantly here by the staff and it really was a home from home for him. He was looked after really well, especially by one particular lady there and would really appreciate someone passing on her name and contact details to us so we could thank her properly. I would recommend
this place to other families for sure if needed.

My friend has such amazing personal care here at Abbey Rose. 1000% improved on the previous home. Shaved, washed properly every day. Everyone is trying to make a difference to his day, encouraging him to try food. My friend had virtually given up on food. You are making a difference. I visit every day
so I can see how clean he is. The home is 100% immaculate.
The presentation of food, impeccable, goes the extra mile. The chef is talented. Keep him.

Thank you for your lovely review, we try to care for our residents as if they are part of our family, so it’s great when we hear that we are achieving that. I will pass on your comments to the chef and his tea.

Abbey Rose, Erdington is a wonderful home.
It is totally different to any other care home I have visited - more like a 5-star hotel.
The staff are so friendly and caring. The home has been meticulously planned and feels like a home - not an institution.
Fabulous - well-done team.

My mother has been at Abbey Rose Home nearly 15 months and her well being is top priority. Every need is met and you are always able to have a chat with any member of staff. A review is always available and you can check her daily record of weight or sleep etc at any time. They have regular visits from
hairdresser, chiropody, optician and dentist. A lovely place for a challenging situation.

When I first visited Abbey Rose I knew that this was the place for our Dad. It is maintained beautifully and provides an extremely comfortable environment for all residents.
Dad was the first Sikh resident at Abbey Rose, with educating the staff they were able to fulfil his cultural needs.
The
exceptional caring nature of all the Staff Team, from receptionists to carers, nurses, chefs, cleaners, managers, maintenance and activities coordinator. All of you are Amazing and we will never forget your kindness, you all helped me and our family to be with Dad and Cared for us too.
I can only say what you are doing is an extraordinary excellent job. THANK YOU

Thank you for your lovely comments, it was a pleasure to care for your father during his short time with us and he certainly became part of our Abbey Rose family, as did you all. I will share your thank you with all of the staff, best wishes.

Excellent. The home is bespoke, the staff first class, helpful, attentive, caring, the rooms are hotel 5 star * rating. It feels incredible. I asked my husband do you want to go back to your last care home, he replied 'no way'! The care manager, nurses, carers and activity leader have pulled out the
stops. I'm elated, can't congratulate you enough, delighted. Every aspect seems to have been thought of. Very much approve of the personal pin entrance system. Spacious hallway, staff on reception 100% efficient and friendly, not too over-familiar. Perfect.

My father moved to Abbeyrose in Dec 18 due to ill health and losing his mobility. Whilst it is not an easy decision to make placing a parent in care, like many people nowadays who are working full time and have children at school it becomes a necessity.


Two years ago I first visited Abbeyrose and

met with the manager following dads stroke however he was able to continue his independence to some extent so I didn’t need a place for him then, immediately I took to the manager she was warm and caring and I felt comforted that dad would be well cared for when that time came. So I was very pleased when I visited last year she was still there.


Dad has been there three months now and it is a huge weight lifted off my mind to know he is very well looked after. I have met all the staff as I visit regularly, nurses, carers, cook, maintenance, laundry staff are all fantastic.


There’s a really good ethos there, well done all.

From my own personal view I was always made welcome I will

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Over the last eighteen months, I have witnessed kindness and concern from all the staff towards my dad as well as towards us, his relatives and friends. The staff respect dad's privacy and dignity. I never worry about dad all the time like I had to when he lived on his own, as I know if there is a problem
and the staff are concerned they will call me, or my brother. Dad receives excellent individualised care that meets his changing needs.


I guess what I want to say is that nothing is ever too much for the staff even when they are really busy. All of them, the nurses, care assistants, admin staff, laundry man, cleaners, kitchen staff, everyone. Including the managers for running the home well. They all keep smiling and are truly professional.


Many times we are quick to criticise but slow to applaud good work. I applaud the staff and thank them from the bottom of my heart for the hard work they all do. I just wanted you to know that there is good care going on.

I couldn't have wished for a better place for my mother to spend her last days. Even though she was very ill, the staff and nurses treated her with great care and compassion right to the end. They also managed the final arrangments quickly and with sensitivity, which was such a help at a very difficult
time. My sincere thanks to the nursing staff and management on behalf of all the family.

The staff and management at Abbeyrose Nursing Home have been excellent from the first day mam was a resident. All have been very friendly and caring to my mother but equally have taken the time to talk to her relatives when ever we visit. Nothing is too much trouble for them and we think mom is responding
well to the high quality of care she is receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for Abbey 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.900 for Abbey Rose Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.9
  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 Abbey Rose Care Home is based on 27 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 27 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.

Lawrence Padolina

Job Title: Abbey Rose Manager Joined: 2019

A nurse from the Philippines, I completed my BSc in Nursing in 1995.


I started as a volunteer nurse in a Community hospital for 6 months before I went to Libya, where I worked for almost 3 years as an A&E and ICU nurse. During this time, I got married and our first daughter was born in 1998.


Arriving in the UK in early 2001, I worked for BUPA, moving up the ranks to Charge Nurse, Unit Lead and eventually Deputy Manager. After 18 years, I decided to look for a company that offered further progression, and I found MACC Care. In February 2019, I joined Abbey Rose as one of the Clinical Leads and was promoted to Home Manager in August 2021.


My wife is also a nurse, and together we have four daughters. When I’m not working, I love sports, especially basketball. My favourite food apart from our national dish (Adobo) is sushi, curry, and nothing beats barbeque spare ribs in barbeque sauce!
