I cannot fault any aspects of my experience. Whether it be management, reception, housekeeping, catering or activities; all staff are caring and cannot do enough for you. Nothing is too much trouble. Their slogan 'one family' is true, it feels like being part of an extended family. If you are considering

My mother had given up on living, she was isolated, weak, not eating, not getting out of bed, falling and was regularly taken to hospital. After only two days at Droitwich Mews Care Home, she was adamant she didn't want to go home.
Now, after only ten days, she is bright-eyed, eating everything put
in front of her, laughing and joking, walking regularly, loving new activities such as yoga, bowls, word boggle and all the social interaction. The change is nothing short of miraculous. My mother now wants to live! The staff are caring, supportive, the facilities are like a five-star hotel At 93 my mother may not have long but it is a sheer delight to see her so incredibly happy in her final years (hopefully). Thank you Droitwich Mews Care Home.

My father moved into Droitwich Mews in May 2023. Both he and the family have been made extremely welcome. All the staff are happy and are only too happy to help and assist with the smallest request. It is a big relief to know that, albeit in a very short time, my father appears settled and happy. Droitwich
Mews is everything we could wish for for our father, grandad and great-grandad.

Dad spent three weeks in respite care. "It's not as bad as I thought it would be"; was his summary, which means it was good once he settled in! It is great to know he is safe and well looked after when I go away, so repeat visits will be happening.

The management team at Droitwich Mews have been excellent, helping us through the process of moving Mum into the home. The staff are great and keep us informed of any issues that arise immediately. I feel confident and relaxed that my Mum is truly being looked after and that her medications are administered
on time by a professional gives me peace of mind. Mum has been engaging in the activities and seems to enjoy that very much. The food, accommodation and cleanliness are all to a very high standard.
When we needed emergency respite care for my father, the management team at Droitwich Mews Care Home were amazing. They supported us through the process as quickly as anyone could have wished for. The staff are very friendly, helpful and take pride in their caregiving. The food is excellent, the rooms are very clean and to a high standard. The family refer to the home as the 'Droitwich Ritz'. We are very happy that we chose this care home.

Recently there have been issues with mum's room not being cleaned (staff shortage, priority). Also, the sinks in the kitchenette have been stained. There have been new staff that has led to the level of care standard being reduced. It appears that some need more training on dementia care (lack of understanding
of behaviour). I have also noticed that there has not been enough staff present. I appreciate recruitment is ongoing but having been a nurse I also understand that staff shortage can be handled differently.

Reply from Pam Casey, Home Manager at Droitwich Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback about the home. I am very sorry to hear that you have not been satisfied with some aspects of the service that we provide, which we will endeavour to share with the team and offer further support and training.
Your comments and feedback are vital to us in improving our services for our residents and their loved ones. Therefore, I would be more than happy to meet in person to discuss this further. Please do contact me directly on 01905 958716. Best wishes, Pam.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Droitwich Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.876 for Droitwich Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (399 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 451 Ratings = 4.876

  • 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 Droitwich Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 38 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 38 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.

Hannah Atkinson

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2024

I began my journey in the care sector within domiciliary care, where I quickly progressed to a senior role. From there, I moved into care homes, advancing from Senior Care Assistant to Care Manager, Deputy Manager, and ultimately to Care Home Manager. In my previous role, I was proud to lead my team in achieving a "Good" rating from the CQC.


Since September 2024, I have had the privilege of managing Droitwich Mews. Every day in this role has been deeply fulfilling, thanks to the incredible residents, dedicated staff, supportive families, and enthusiastic volunteers who make this home so special. I was welcomed into the Droitwich Mews family with open arms, and I am committed to maintaining and building upon the high standards of excellence that define our home.


I firmly believe that laughter and happiness are vital to the well-being of everyone in the home. At Droitwich Mews, these qualities shine in abundance, creating a warm and joyful environment for all.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2024

I have worked in care since I was 18 years old, working in a nursing home in Leamington, I never dreamed at 18 that I would enjoy care as much as I do.


I started as a care assistant and worked my way up to manager and then due to personal circumstances I had to leave management. Again, I have worked my way up from care assistant to Deputy.


I like working in care because just seeing a smile on a resident’s face when they doing what they enjoy is magic, every day is different, and I like it when you can fulfil a resident's wishes, not many people can say but I actually do love my job

I then started cleaning for a few old ladies, which morphed into shopping & personal care and companionship. I tried domiciliary care, but never felt I had enough time to do a good job. Covid came along, and my career path changed! I became a Community Champion for a well-known supermarket. It was because of this I heard about Droitwich Mews. I offered to support the home with raffle prizes etc. The Customer Service manager at the time asked if I would like to join the team! I started at Droitwich Mews on the care team, and then I was offered the position of customer service assistant, and I am happy to say I love it! I get to support residents and chat with them and their relatives. It’s a lovely home and I am proud to be a part of it.
