Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Handsworth Wood, Robert Harvey House gives care and support for those who require nursing care. Especially equipped for individuals living with dementia, all 46 ensuite spacious bedrooms allow privacy in a calming and caring environment.
The team is motivated by a desire to make a positive impact. They work hard to create a safe, homely environment where every resident is treated with dignity, compassion and respect. BCOP is a charity so all profits are re-invested into the homes.

Additionally the home has its own Sensory Street - a replica of vintage 1950s shops which residents, along with their families and friends, can use for reminiscence. Residents can make use of the spa bath, which features mood-lighting and tropical murals, to relax.
Residents can take part in a variety of activities, which are planned according to their interests and hobbies. Residents are supported to have maximum choice about their care and support.

Both were very happy there and treated well. As we were only able to visit at weekends it was always difficult to obtain information from weekend staff.
A classic was when my mother died and they didn't bother finding my mobile number from her file when they got no response from my landline number.
I had to call the morning after to be told she had died at 2am!
Thank you for your review, we aim to constantly listen to our users, and learn lessons from their feedback. Please accept our apologies for the way in which you were notified of your mum's passing - we will ensure that the processes within the home are reviewed to ensure others do not experience this. Please accept our condolences on your loss. Kind regards.
Excellent care and support during stay in enhanced assessment bed, following time in hospital. Good link between home and social worker/occupational therapist/physiotherapist.

Well, where do I start, this place is absolutely fantastic. The support factor there is amazing and meets all requirements and needs. Clean, friendly and just outstanding, I couldn't have asked for a better place for my grandfather to have been in. All the staff are absolutely great, especially the nurse, she was outstanding in helping with my grandfather and for this, I am eternally grateful to the people that work at Robert Harvey House, thank you so much.

My Husband stayed at Robert Harvey for four weeks for assessment prior to moving to a permanent care home. The care he received was of a very high standard, the home was well furnished and clean and all the staff were friendly, kind and helpful at all times. If it had been closer to home I would have been more than happy for my Husband to remain there. The food was excellent, served really hot and a carer was always on hand to feed my Husband as he was unable to feed himself. All in all, I highly recommend Robert Harvey and thank them very sincerely for all their care during our time with them. Whenever we left my Husband we felt confident he would be safe and well cared for.
