* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for Himley Mill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 24 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Himley Mill Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.541 for Himley Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (113 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 281 Ratings = 4.541
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.814 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Himley Mill Care Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 17.2 positive Reviews (86 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 14 Reviews ÷ 17.2 Target = 0.814
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Himley Mill Care Home has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.355) from 24 Reviews

My mother has been looked after at Himley Mill for approximately 6 months following a fall and hospitalisation. There is a very happy and friendly atmosphere here. Staff are very helpful and caring. Mom has now been discharged to home having made excellent improvement and we are now caring for her ourselves. In time if need be I will definitely look to place Mom back here.

I've put my partner in this care home about 10 times. Staff have always been very helpful with a nice smile on their faces. Good ratio of staff to patients and I'm confident my partner gets the best care possible having worked in many care homes in the past 30 years (plumbing), this is the best I have encountered.

During the 2+ years my mother has been in Himley Mill, I have found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. I am kept thoroughly informed of mom's condition and events she takes part in. I always find her well presented and happy. She enjoys the social activities and loves the trips out. I can only thank the staff for looking after mom and putting her family at ease that she is well looked after and happy.

The staff are very caring and approachable. The nursing staff are knowledgeable and supportive. Activities - staff worked hard to involve the residents in organised activities and were able to respond speedily to spontaneous requests/events, i.e. the anniversary of a resident was organised the same day!
The food is good quality and there is a good choice available at all times.

Himley Mill in one word brilliant. My husband has been there for 18 months I cannot think of one bad thing to say about the staff which includes nurses, carers, activity and administration staff, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are immaculately clean, meals are varied and made to a high standard. It was our golden Wedding yesterday and we were given the most lovely day by all the staff and hats off to the entertainment staff for cake donations towards Macmillan day I cried for most of the day but they were happy tears.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Himley Mill for your loved ones.

The staff at Beech House (dementia unit) were extremely courteous, friendly and caring to my father and all family members. All of his personal care was carried out to an extremely high standard. I would recommend this unit to anyone. He was treated with dignity and respect to the end of his life.

My mother was cared for at Himley Mill for the last ten months of her life. The staff were incredibly caring and kind during that time and did everything they could to help us make mum's final days as comfortable as possible. All the staff were incredibly supportive to us as a family and to me in particular, at a very difficult time. Mum died aged 94, of old age and her last months were made much happier by being in a safe and caring environment.

The care staff are very caring. They are very sympathetic and will put an arm around the residents if they are upset about anything. The food is very good and so are the activities. They do activities every week and they had a musician in and the residents loved this. They occasionally take the residents out to the local hotel for a meal.

I found all staff very pleasant and caring and did a very good job of looking after my dad. The only fault my dad had was on his area it was very noisy with doors banging and residents shouting so not a very relaxing experience. He enjoyed the trips he went on. Boat trip and down the pub.

My husband came to Himley Mill on the 6/6/16 I was very worried about the transfer from a respite home. On arrival he was treated brilliantly. All the staff were not only wonderful to my husband, they also put my mind at rest. Having been a very frequent visitor since my husband moved there I must say that the staff and management are dedicated thoughtful and caring, They keep me informed of my husbands progress. I rate this unit highly. I would 100% recommend Himley Mill to anyone with a relative that has to go into care. The lady that is over Beech is wonderful.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Michael M (Son of Resident) on Thursday 30 June 2016. Relates to June 2016.
My mother entered Himley Mill from hospital. She was very ill and had a short prognosis. The excellent care has improved her health physically and she is almost back to herself. My mother has lived an independent life for many years, and I think that the loss of independence has been difficult for her to adapt to. Knowing that she needs 24 hour nursing and care I am satisfied that Himley Mill is the best place to provide this.

A little early to do a review as my mother has only been a resident for two days. The only comment I have to make is I am not totally confident on how they deal with a person who cannot see and is not used to always being seated in the lounge particularly as she is 97 years old.

From initial contact onwards all the staff treated dad (the resident) and all his family with the utmost dignity. Without exception the staff were excellent in their caring, friendliness, empathy yet professional manner. Their pleasant and openness approach was very much welcomed, as was their excellent communication to us all at a very difficult time. The information and updates were relevant, timely, practical but always with the comfort of the resident at the heart of all that they achieved. We would recommend Himley Mill as an outstanding care home!

My mothers stay at Himley Mill was brief (17 days) but the facility and care provided by staff were both excellent. The room was clean and comfortable and setting is very peaceful. The care regime was well documented and staff were always happy to provide us with updates. A number of them took a keen interest in her. When she passed away the nurse on duty made all the phone calls to the doctor and funeral director- a great help. Sadly she was never well enough to take part in the social activities but it is clear that staff go out of their way to make stays as pleasant as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursing home.

What an amazing home and excellent service that this home has. Outstanding value, excellent care, outstanding staff, care 100%, the staff are amazing. My mum was at Woodlands, the staff were just great, very caring, not just to the patient but to the family. That goes a long way, as some homes have bad names. The home was very clean and the patients are treated with a lot of dignity. Food was lovely, served up very nicely, facilities are excellent, rooms and the management are very good, always help you.
