Thank you so very much for your kind words, we did have a very fun Christmas. I will pass your lovely commments on to my team.

I have been a resident in Rushall Care Home for two weeks of respite care and I can honestly say I have enjoyed it. I have never laughed so much. The staff are all wonderful, they work so hard. You get a cuddle if you are feeling a bit down. The activities are great. I had lost weight in the hospital but the food is lovely and fresh, they have fed me up. Well done to the manager and the girls.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it has been such a pleasure to look after you and help you feel better. You are welcome to come and visit us at any time. I will pass on your comments to the team. All the very best.
All staff were excellent and treated my mother-in-law and all family members with respect, They kept us informed at all times and were very helpful and friendly, we were told that we could visit at any time day or night.
Thank you so very much for your kind words and fantastic feedback. We really appreciate it and future families will find this information very helpful. Kindest regards.
Rushall care home welcomed my mother with open arms. Their support and professionalism is second to none and we as a family can't thank all the staff, (you are all lovely) and the manager enough, you should all be very proud of yourselves. Mom was very unhappy since the passing of our father recently and you have put the sparkle back into her life. To the Manager thank you for your quick response to our urgent situation. Top man.
Again, thank you so very much for your very kind words. My team and I really appreciate your lovely feedback. We only aim to do the very best we can. Thank you.
I am very pleased with how they have treated my mother-in-law, she lost her husband of 47 years in July and has been very lonely and frightened at home, within a day we all saw the difference in her, they all have a good chat, treat her so good, she is so happy there, they do everything she wants can't thank them enough, you can tell they really do care and take great care in their work, I was a carer and have seen so many bad carers over the years, but they are all so great very pleased no complaints.

When I was first admitted to Russell Nursing Home I really didn't want to stay. Because I was so out of it and not well, but after a couple of weeks I was feeling really well again and getting about, because of the care I have received from the people in here from management, carers and kitchen staff.
Thank you so much for your resident review, it is so refreshing to have a care review from someone we have looked after. I will pass on your lovely comments to all the team.
Excellent overall experience. Could not be any more satisfied with the care and comfort provided to my wife.
Thak you so very much for your lovely review, we always strive to do our very est at all times. I will pass on your comments to my team.
Excellent care home. My niece suffered from Huntington's Disease which is an extremely debilitating condition. She was a resident with Rushall Care Home for around 6 months, and in that time she received excellent care. The staff were invariably caring and showed her the respect that she deserved. The care home made excellent adjustments to her diet when she became unable to chew and managed to create tasty food in spite of this. There was a regular range of activities for residents and my niece was able to partake in these. There was also good communication to me when needed. Strongly recommend the care home.
Thank you so much for your amazing care home review, we always strive to do our very best for all of our residents here at Rushall. I will pass your kind comments on to my team.
My dad came into Rushall Care Home from hospital, not a well man he was only 63 years old the Home Manager and day staff and night staff and the nurses looked after him really well he got on with everyone there, even seen a smile which it had been a long time since he did that, my dad liked his own company in his room and all the staff always popped in for a chat he loved his TV and DVDs. Towards the end of his life, everyone was so caring and always came in to ask if we were ok and if we need anything, when he did pass away everyone was there for us giving us the time to say goodbye to my dad, I could not ask for a better care home so glad he went there. If anyone is looking for a good and friendly care home I would recommend it to anyone five stars keep up the good work. And again thank you for everything.
Thank you so much for the really kind review, your dad is very much missed. I will pass your thanks over to the whole team here at the home.
My mother was 92 when she was transferred to Rushall Care Home after spending three weeks in hospital for end-of-life care. The care my mother received was excellent, every member of staff was kind and caring and made my mother's last few weeks very comfortable. My mother's visitors were treated with respect and kindness. I would recommend Rushall Care Home to anyone. Thank you all.
Thank you for your very kind comments about our home and our team, we always strive to do our very best. All the very best from us here at Rushall.
I visited five care homes and was feeling broken, I had made my mom a promise I couldn’t keep months before and she was the end of life and I could not have her at home due to her complex health issues. Then I visited Rushall Care Home, the minute I entered the home my worries started to fade. The warmth that comes from every member of staff within the first five minutes of waiting to be seen left me feeling lighter. Mom moved in for two weeks before she passed and I can honestly say she got exceptional care. Nothing was too much trouble. Banter was a plenty and kindness was abundant. My mom was treated with dignity and respect and I can honestly say if you can have a good death, that is what she got. My family were made to feel so welcome and Mom was happy there and that is all that mattered. When the manager showed me around he had so much passion for the home and it showed in all his staff. l 100% recommend this wonderful home and am happy to speak personally to anyone to verify.
Thank you for all of your amazing comments about our home and our team. Your mother was such a character and really was a pleasure to care for, if only she’d moved in sooner. I will pass on your very kind words to my team here at Rushall. All the very best.
Mum had approx 1 week of care at Rushall before she passed away. In that one week, she had more care than the months spent at her previous nursing home combined. The staff were knowledgeable, helpful, respectful to my brother and I when mum passed away. They couldn't do enough for mum or the family. They actually 'care'. I can't praise them highly enough. Thank you so much for making mum comfortable in her last days.
Thank you so much for your very kind words your family are our family and we always do our very best for our residents here at Rushall. Such a shame your mother wasn’t here longer with us. I will pass on your lovely comments to my team. All the very best.
Overall, the care given and received was carried out with compassion, dignity and kindness. Although the team were obviously busy, they always gave their time when needed for either intervention or answering questions. There is a warm, friendly atmosphere between the team and also in the environment. Although the home was mid-refurbished, it was clean and furnished well. The floors and rooms which were complete, were very nice.
Thank you for your lovely review, yes my team do work really hard to ensure that everyone is well looked after, I will pass on your positive comments. Also, our complete refurbishment is going so very well, most of the public areas are nearly completed, we will be moving on to the private bedrooms next. We have a fun 2022 ahead, and all the very best to you.
My brother was transferred from hospital to Rushall Care Home for end of life care and have to say the staff were exceptional during such a difficult time. They were understanding, friendly and patient. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for my brother to spend his final weeks.
Thank you so very much for your kind words. My team and I always strive to deliver the very best care. I will pass on your amazing comments. Thank you so much.

To be completed.

I am Phil Toomer-Smith the General Manager here at Rushall Care Home. I began my nursing career in 2006 at the University of Wolverhampton, and have since gained experience in Medical, Surgical, Trauma and Intensive care. I have a passion for delivering good palliative and dementia care services. Previous to nursing I worked in the tourism sector with airlines and hotels so I take customer service very seriously.
I have worked in the community with nursing homes for the last 10 years, starting as a nurse, through to deputy manager and general manager. I moved back to the Midlands in 2020 from the Channel Islands after working there for 7 years.
I enjoy developing my team and eagerly push training and education to ensure that the care delivered is up to date with current standards. I have continued with my education and since qualifying I have completed a BSc in nursing, a Diploma in nursing home management and a postgraduate Diploma in healthcare law and ethics.
I strive to lead a team of staff who enjoy their work and want to develop, as this will only benefit the care our residents receive.

Abi is our Deputy General Manager. Abi has been with us since September 2022 and qualified as an RNLD from Birmingham City University in 2019. This was due to supporting a friend through access to a nursing course and choosing to stay in nursing herself. Previous to nursing Abi has held various forms of employment including being a public house licensee and an NVQ sign-off. Abi gained her foundational clinical skills primarily in forensic psychiatric fields and found herself wanting to round off her skills further in all areas of nursing. Abi is driven to support and ease the burdens of living with complex care needs and supporting residents and their families through end-of-life care. Abi continues to drive quality improvement and positive change, by leading the nursing team and enhancing family communication here at Rushall. Since joining and leading care delivery here at Rushall Care Home Abi has formed strong therapeutic relations with all areas of the multidisciplinary team based here in Walsall.

Tracey always thought she wasn’t clever enough to go to University, but we are so very pleased that she did.

Hi, I’m John, I came to Rushall Care Home in 2020. I previously worked at Nicholl Food Group as a site maintenance manager. I had decided to take it easier and join Rushall to work 3 days a week with zero pressure. Who knew that I’d end up supporting the home through a whole home rejuvenation? If we aren’t throwing it out, we’re painting it or moving it, but I’m having a lot of fun. My brother works for one of our sister homes Woodgreen Nursing Home - Wednesbury now too.
