Once again the Droitwich Mews Care Home staff helped me arrange a tea party for my husband's 91st birthday. The private function room was beautifully prepared, and the chef had prepared a lovely selection of sweet and savoury delights which we all enjoyed. It is so nice to be able to use the facilities
for the other members of our family to share with my husband. Thank you to everyone that made it possible,

This is our second respite care booking for my mum. A returning customer is the best recommendation. I simply cannot fault the venue, the facilities, the room, the food... all first class but the staff is what makes Droitwich Mews Care Home so special - kind, friendly, professional and diligent in every
aspect. My mum has been looked after so well, with kindness, dignity and with great attention to her needs. Thank you all, my family are so grateful. We will see you again soon.

Is this the best care home in Droitwich? Probably. Location - ideal. The building is 5 stars. Accommodation is 5 stars. Staff are absolute gems. The food is yummy. Other residents are delightful. Care is outstanding! My relative had a family who loved and cared for him, now my relative has another family
that does the same. Thank goodness we chose Droitwich Mews and not our first choice. Well done Droitwich Mews.

From the moment my 92 year old father agreed to move to Droitwich Mews Care Home from his previous care home, our family have been really impressed with the efficiency and care given to him. The rooms are spacious, the food amazing and the friendly and caring atmosphere of the care staff is the best
he has come across. Previously quite sedentary in his life, I called today to discover from the staff that he’s been playing carpet bowls and doing yoga! Unheard of but a very very pleasant surprise. Long may it continue!

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.

Claire Whitehouse

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

Job Title: Customer Service Advisor

Joined: 2021

I began my journey by first caring for my parents, particularly my mother at the end of my life. The nurse who visited said I was made for the 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.

She consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty, always striving to enhance the quality of life for those in her care. With genuine love and thoughtfulness, Franca supports not only our residents but their families too, ensuring everyone feels safe, supported, and valued. We are truly lucky to have her.
