What can I say about Hodge Hill Grange - if it wasn’t for the fantastic staff that has looked after our mother in these terrible times we find ourselves in I don’t know what we as a family would have done. The staff are so good with our mother, they make sure she is safe and all her needs are met. We
as a family are able to contact the home any time of the day to enquire about our mother, I myself phone every evening and it is never too much for the staff to give me an update on what mums been up to that day. In these times, we are able to have a FaceTime with mum which is fantastic just being able to see her reassures us that our mother is been looked after. Thank you to the staff.

My mother is a resident of Hodge Hill Grange. Overall she is looked after extremely well and her needs are catered for. Since March, I have had three garden visits and a birthday visit through the windows. This is the area that needs to improve. There should be no reason why, with careful planning,
I cannot visit my mother.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Hodge Hill Grange Care Home

Thank you for your kind comments regarding your Mother’s care at Hodge Hill Grange. Although we understand your frustrations with visiting, all Birmingham homes are in lockdown currently, due to high levels of infection in the area, therefore this is not a decision made by the home. Staff are working hard to prepare their visiting room for indoor visits and we will be in contact as soon as possible to advise you when these can take place.

My experience of Hodge Hill Grange Care Home was a very pleasant one, although it was a short stay for my nan. I could not fault any part of it.
We felt very comfortable and always welcome when visiting, staff had time for both my nan and us as a family, which I feel is very important. I would like
to say thank you, to all the staff and the management team, what a great service you provided.

Sadly my uncle passed away in Hodge Hill Grange recently. The home had an incorrect contact number for myself, however, they had my address (this has been the same for 27 years). They did not notify me by letter and offer any chance to collect his personal effects or discuss his final moments.
I was
notified by social services regarding my uncles passing in September, he passed in July. Social services wrote to advise me of this.
When I took this up with the manager, she was unwilling to discuss the matter by telephone, saying any complaint had to be in writing and it was a breach of data protection to give me any information. She would not give me the date of death (required to register the death) causing more delays for my uncle to be laid to rest.
She gave the details to the funeral directors that were appointed by my uncle, not sure how this didn't breach the law?
I was advised that there would be a formal investigation and to date, I have had no details of the findings to date.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Hodge Hill Grange Care Home

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your Uncle, I am sorry that the level of communication fell below the standard that we would expect to achieve. Should you wish to discuss the matter further the Area Director would be happy to meet with you to discuss the matter further.

Mom in Law has only been resident for a couple of months and although she wasn't happy about it in the first week or two I have noticed a big change in her now she has got used to being in care. She has made some friends and seems happy and contented - long may it continue.

Kitchen area needs constantly keeping clean. When I made mother-in-law a drink recently the fridge had dirty water at the bottom and needed good clean. Signage for meetings should be more prominent and relatives notified by text/email. Mother-in-law had been waiting to go to toilet one day, I went and
her skirt was soaking wet.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Hodge Hill Grange Care Home

Thank you for raising your concerns with us. I am sorry that you found the kitchen area to be below the standard expected. Regular walks around the home are undertaken by management and as part of this spot checks of the kitchen areas and fridges are completed. I have spoken with housekeeping colleagues and raised your concerns with them and they are now paying extra attention to the kitchen areas as a result. Relatives meetings are displayed and these are planned wherever possible in advance, in order to ensure relatives have the opportunity to attend. I cannot comment in relation to the issue you raised relating to your relative via this forum but would be happy to meet with you to gain more information, in order to investigate this. Please be advised that I operate an open door policy and am happy to deal with any such situations as they arise.

My mom moved into Hodge Hill Grange in October 2018.
The whole team, manager and carers have supported my mom and ensured her needs have been met.
The team have made her feel secure and cared for.
She has been encouraged to participate in activities which have helped her well being.
As a family,
we feel at ease knowing our mom is looked after so well.

My brother and I have been visiting Hodge Hill for approximately 12 years. Over the years we have played dominoes and cards etc with the residents.
We like to think that the residents appreciate our company so much so you see a big smile on their faces when we walk in.

My wife is being well looked after.
There is a bit of difficulty with food due to her health condition, but this is being managed well.
I am very pleased and happy that she is here. This is the third home she has been in and the best.
The manager is the most helpful lady.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10 for Hodge Hill Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.738 for Hodge Hill Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (259 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 343 Ratings = 4.738

  • 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 Hodge Hill Grange Care Home is based on 29 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 29 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.
