My father has recently been received at Perry Locks Care Home - Brooklyn House and the staff present, have made him and his family feel very welcome. When I have observed the staff talking to my dad, he is spoken to with respect and treated with dignity. I also give credit and thanks to the management
and office staff who have been flexible with appointments to complete placement papers.

Since moving to the care home, my mum has thrived and I'm impressed over how well looked after she is. I like the flexibility in terms of visits and the fact that I can see my mum any time I want, this gives me confidence that the staff have nothing to hide and are very kind and caring as well as good-humoured.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my mum's care.

My mum sadly passed away a week ago, but the care and compassion the staff shown us as a family and her in particular was much appreciated. I cannot speak highly enough of how they made her last few days as comfortable as they could. Thank you to all the staff of Lawrence House and Perry Locks Care

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I feel very satisfied with the excellent services. I will recommend anyone suitable for care, they are good, showing kind care. I can understand that the staff are always busy and it takes five minutes to answer the call bed. The only thing I think the management needs is to work on is staffing levels.
Staff are friendly and kind and they will do anything in their power to help me. I am happy to stay, I wouldn't be here if I was not happy.

I am always made welcome at Perry Locks Birmingham. I find the staff very caring and dedicated. The residents always look clean and well cared for and there is always something going on (entertainment) which keeps them stimulated and I have often joined in the entertainment which is fun. The home is
very clean and the gardens are well kept with lots of tubs of lovely flowers. I always feel at home at Perry Locks and never feel rushed when visiting my friend and I am always offered a cup of tea, which is nice.

I am washed in the morning to prepare for breakfast. It varies how well I am treated by the carers. Some treat me with care and dignity others do not.

I would recommend people to Perry Locks.
The food is excellent, but my partner can not eat most of it owing to her illness. Somebody came down to see her a few times, but nothing happened a few times, but she enjoys what she can eat.

Mum has been at Catherine House since April 2019. My sister and I visit regularly. Mum is always happy and content and often comments about how well looked after she is, how nice ther staff are and how much she likes her room. Mum is a cup of tea fan, so the fact that she receives them regularly is
a big plus for her. Our thanks to everyone who cares for Mum so well.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.379)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.379) out of 10 for Perry Locks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.379 for Perry Locks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (179 Goods x 4) + (51 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 477 Ratings = 4.379
  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 Perry Locks Care Home is based on 40 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 128 registered maximum number of service users is 25.6, which has been reached with 40 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.
