My mom was at Himley Mill for almost 2 years. The staff there are fantastic. I cannot fault anyone who looked after my mom. They all operate with care, respect, love & kindness. I knew that Mom was in the best hands and was very well looked after & safe. The staff would keep in touch with me & were
always very helpful. I couldn't have wished for a better home & better care for my mom - who had vascular dementia. Huge thanks to you all. xx

My mother has been in this care home for nine months and is extremely happy to be there. The staff are very attentive and are always willing to help with anything my mom needs. Recently they took the residents to a village hall, where they were entertained by singers and had food, etc, etc. Mom was
ecstatic about the whole experience and couldn't wait to tell us all about it when we visited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Himley Mill to anyone 100%.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On the whole our experience has been very positive. We have few little niggles, missing clothes, we appreciate it's a nightmare managing returning laundry, to three separate buildings. I chose to do the laundry myself.
My sister in law is generally happy and well cared for. Our main desire.
Her room
is nicely decorated and very pleasant. A comfortable environment.
The staff are lovely my sister in law loves them.
The food is generally of a good standard, my sister in law often makes some unusual choices. We appreciate it's her prerogative. It often causes hilarity. Every little helps.
Generally it's a thumbs up from us. Well done Chestnut Himley Mill.

My mom has just been collected from Himley Mill, after staying for 1 week's respite. She is a strong-headed woman and didn't want to go. She has had a lovely time in there. She has been very well looked after & really liked all the staff. She said they were all so very kind to her. We will definitely
ask for another respite for my mom.
Thank you so much Himley Mill.

My mother in law was on willow with dementia for the last months of her life the staff were always caring and friendly with family and my mother in law. Could be more activities for dementia residents that was the only fault we had .and sometimes it seemed short staffed on some days. I would recommend
willow and himley mill for anyone looking for a care home.

My dad has been a resident at Himley Mill for just over 2 years, he's settled so well, which is a huge thing when he has dementia. The staff go above and beyond to help in any way. He went to RAF Casford, which he enjoyed so much. Thank you.

The care and commitment given by the staff is wonderful, and the food is edible and nutritious (I've tried it). It's lovely.
Mom relies on staff for all day to day living skills and tasks, the girls there give this and more.
Decoration may be a little dated but we are paying for and getting personal
care for Mom not a palace.
Thank you to all the hard working staff team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff are excellent, very caring and always take time to talk to me about my mom. What I love is the fact that all carers and nurses know about my mom and what she gets up to in the day, which is heart warming. They tend to her needs with food as she can be very fussy and know exactly what she
eats. Even the cleaners, maintenance and admin staff are so friendly. I couldn't wish for a better home for my mom to be in. Miraculously, mom's walking has improved and her way of life since being at Himley Mill Care Home. Thank you everyone.

I can't thank the staff enough, from my dad's personal care, the cleaners and activities. All have been of a high standard and also when we have visited we have always been made so welcome and looked after. My dad has passed away now but during his stay he has been looked after very well. He was in
Willows/Himley Mill and I can't rate it high enough and I would recommend Himley Mill highly.

My mother was a resident at Himley Manor for the last 9 months of her life.
During this period the staff provided excellent care and facilities.
Himley Mill is a clean, bright, well-laid out home with easy access to lovely spacious rooms with many offering magnificent views across open countryside.
The
staff were exceptional providing professional care in a cheerful, helpful, friendly and diligent way. The home provides excellent food, laundry facilities etc. and entertainment and trips out to residents able to participate.
Visitors are always made welcome 24 hours a day with tea/coffee/biscuits always available.
This is an excellent care home - highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.539)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.539) out of 10 for Himley Mill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.539 for Himley Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.539
  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 Himley Mill Care Home is based on 25 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, which has been reached with 25 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.

Amy Barton

Job Title: Home Manager

Introducing Amy Barton, Home Manager at Himley Mill Care Home, Dudley


We asked Amy what ‘kindness’ means to her;
“Kind care to me means going that extra mile, putting a smile on someone's face, and going home knowing that I have made a difference in someone's day. Caring is something that I think comes naturally to me, and if you are a caring person, you will always do your best to make that difference, whether it’s big or small.”


During her career Amy has gained a wealth of experience in providing care and nursing support to elderly people, to enrich their lives. She is a knowledgeable and dedicated leader who is passionate about delivering the highest standards in care and quality of life for Residents.


Talking about her previous experience, Amy said:
“I have worked in care since I was 19 years old, and I've always had a caring side and wanted to make a difference to people’s lives. My personal passion is dementia and end-of-life care.”


Amy closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every Resident. She extends this caring approach to her Colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to Residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Amy remarked:
“Every day is different. My role is very busy, and I like that I get to make a difference: I get to see residents being able to live happily whilst having support with their daily needs. It’s very rewarding and I’m very proud that I’ve reached a management position where I am responsible for the residents in my care and for the team supporting that care.


My HC-One name badge says ‘Never waste your days’. It’s something my sister said to me once, and it’s become my work motto. I try and fit as much as I can into each day, so I can give the most support to our residents I possibly can.”


Amy has also achieved much outside of work, with her proudest moments being raising money for charities close to her heart in her sisters’ memory. She enjoys spending time with her family, especially with her young daughter who keeps her very busy at home and going on holidays and visiting different places in the UK and abroad.


If you would like to find out more about Himley Mill Care Home, Amy would be delighted to have an informal discussion with you to answer any questions and provide further information.
