I would highly rate Himley Mill, Beeches dementia ward. My father sadly passed away in March 2020. Beeches staff were very good, it's a very clean and friendly place. The residents were highly looked after, where staff made them comfortable and always kept them clean.
I would like to thank all the
staff for their professionalism.

Felt a lack of care - 12 hours to provide bedpan.
Rudeness from younger recruits.
A long time to answer the bell for attention.
'Hot' food served almost cold.
A loving relationship with carers with longer experience.
Confusion with patient's own clothes and/or belongings.
Mattress on the bed not
very comfortable - lumpy.

I found that the care and attention she received was very good. She enjoyed her meals and was encouraged to join in the activities, which helped her immensely. I was kept informed of any problems healthwise/personal, and they were dealt with quickly.
Thank you all.

I feel, in certain areas, it could do with being updated and possibly more staff.

From previous poor experiences of care homes, the family have been blown away by the care and support of my grandfather. We have seen his physical health improve before our eyes. He is happy, clean and stimulated daily. All the staff at Himley Mill Care Home genuinely have my grandfather's care at the
top of their priority and they also had time to support us as a family too. I have no concerns about this home and would not think twice about recommending it to others.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.554)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.554) out 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 4.6 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.554 for Himley Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (91 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.554

  • b) 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 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • 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.
