My Uncle has received calm and patient care as he has become more frail. He enjoys a safe and stimulating environment where he is respected and encouraged to live the best life he can during his later years.
The Chaplin who serves the home has been a valuable support giving my Uncle gentle
friendship and spiritual care, which is much appreciated

All of the staff could not have been more helpful and supportive when my mum was ill.
They truly do care about their residents and I am so thankful that my mum has a home surrounded by attentive carers.
A huge thank you to all that they do. It is very much appreciated.

This is the third time that my sister has stayed at Handsworth Care Home to allow us both some respite. She loves it there and I love her being there. The security of driving away knowing she is loved and cared for by all of the lovely staff is so reassuring. We are both made to feel so welcome
every time. The level of respect and care is outstanding - her room is always lovely and the food is superb. I don't believe she even misses me :) :) I get photos whilst she's there doing some wonderful activities and her smile and joy just shines out and she always comes home with photos to keep and her craft creations. I would never hesitate to recommend Handsworth to anyone. It truly is a special place with beautiful and caring humans. The understanding everyone has of Julie's needs, her personality and her favourite things is amazing. I wouldn't mind a stay there myself but then I don't think I'd ever go home. HUGE THANKS to everyone. WE LOVE YOU xxx

My aunt is very happy at Handsworth - she has been there for over two years and is very well
looked after. The staff are kind and caring and my aunts visitors always remark about the
lovely atmosphere.

Home from Home.
For those of you who are at the time to find a home for your loved one, look no further.
It is a very difficult decision but necessary when extra care is needed.
Handsworth was recommended to me and what a great choice. My mother deserves to be looked after as she looked after
us.
We feel so blessed that mum is in great care in a great environment. The staff are excellent, attentive and caring.
Thank you.

Fantastic environment for my disabled Mum. She is incredibly well looked after. There's a real sense of family in Handsworth. Staff go above and beyond to ensure residents are happy and content. There is always an event or celebration for residents.

In November, Dad, aged 92, contracted sepsis and was taken to hospital where we were informed he was not likely to survive 24 hours. Thankfully after excellent care he was declared fit enough to be discharged. However Dad was now frail with complex needs and would have needed full time nurses and
carers to support him at his home. So, we made the decision to find him the best care home possible. And we did - we found Handsworth!
We did visit other care homes and whilst they were doing their best, they were nowhere near as wonderful as Handsworth has proved to be. We feel so blessed that they were able to accommodate Dad. His room is nicely furnished and comfortable. The Home is well cared for and the food is excellent. The staff are really impressive -everyone of them from the management to the caterers and cleaners. But the biggest accolades are reserved for the brilliant carers. They have truly improved Dad's quality of life and health and for that we are grateful beyond words.

Dignity care & compassion abound at Handsworth. Cleanliness & good practice are consistently evident. It is always an uplifting atmosphere to enter being greeted with genuine warmth, interest & good humour.
The activities are varied, inclusive & stimulating.
At a stage of life when Dad can feel
diminished he is made to feel that he matters here. Sincere appreciation & admiration goes to all the hard working staff.

Mum went into this care home for respite for five weeks They could not have done enough for her, she has never stopped talking about her experience especially about the activity with the babies and tenor singer. I would recommend this care home and have nothing but praise for all the staff. Would
definitely use them again in the future if we can.

This carehome is the standard that should be set for ALL other carehomes. It has strong and thoughtful leadership as well as staff who without exception are angels. My mother was resident for 18 months prior to her passing away. The quality of care my mother received from everyone connected to the
home was better than first class. Indeed the quality of care was not only first class but the the way the carehome facilities such as lounge, dining room, garden and bedroom as well as regular activities showed the highest quality of care was achieved. I have nothing but praise for Handsworth Carehome and thank them with all my heart for looking after my mum so well in the last 18 months of her life.

My mum was warmly welcomed to a bright spacious room overlooking the garden (a beautiful spot which is currently being enhanced further). She has her ups and downs in health but the staff are so caring and loving towards her that it makes all the difference. We are so lucky to have found it and
cannot praise them highly enough. Thank you. You

MHA Handsworth, in my father's words, is the very best care home. He particularly likes the food, friendly/ caring staff, lots of smiles and the homely atmosphere.
We are delighted with the whole Handsworth team, the care dad receives, super activities, GP attendance each week and the environment
inside and out makes it a true home.
We would not hesitate to recommend MHA Handsworth.

My mum has been a resident since January 2023 and seems to be settled and happy at Handsworth and will often comment on how good the staff are. The only grumbles she has, occasionally, are about the food. However, she particularly enjoys the jacket potatoes which, apparently, are better than the
ones my dad used to make at home!
18 September 2025
Dad has been a resident for over 6 months and his care has been exemplary. The staff are incredibly kind and caring and respond to all needs and support. The food is perfect for dad and the activities are well organised and inclusive.

My brother has been in Handsworth Care home for over 5 years now and I have always felt that he has received excellent care. There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the home and the staff at all levels are wonderful: caring, cheerful, helpful, very hard-working and very approachable - it is
clearly a well-run care home and it's the staff who make this home such a wonderful place.
The home itself is bright and airy and as I walked in today, there was a lovely display of photos from a residents trip, being put up on the wall ..so nice for the residents to look at and enjoy! I feel my brother is in the right place and it's perfect for him.

Right from the outset at Mum' s assessment the management team were wonderful patient and respectful and listened to Mum (even when she went off on numerous tangents. Mum's medical needs were taken into account and acted upon as were requests for certain items in her room and nothing was too much
trouble. I know Mum was safe and being cared for. Mum's room was clean bright and airy and garden space was wonderful to sit out in. All the staff were very welcoming and respectful and Mum loved the library. Lots of activities (but not Mum's thing) which was great and I could not think of a better place for Mum to get the care and attention she needed. Thank you to each and every one of you you are all lovely and I would not hesitate to recommend

We were very lucky to find Handsworth Care home for our Mum. It was the perfect place for her, the staff are very kind and considerate and the residents are friendly and lovely to one another. Mum was made very welcome and despite being initially unsure about coming to live here, the warm welcome,
patience and support really helped her to settle in. She particularly enjoyed the activities when children came to visit. For us as a family it was reassuring to know that Mum was safe, and well cared for in such a lovely environment. We extend our thanks to all the staff and everyone involved with Hands worth.

Thank you to all the staff at Handsworth Care Home for looking after my Mum with such kindness. I have felt that every one of you has worked beyond what is expected in providing care for my Mum. The surroundings have always been pleasant, clean and warm. Mum has always looked well dressed and well
looked after. I have always felt that she has been in very safe and caring hands. There were plenty of activities going on and many caring hands to help her. She has been treated with dignity at a very difficult time in her life. Thanks again.

There are seriously not enough stars to rate the phenomenal care the staff and the facilities Handsworth provide for their residents. Trying to find the perfect home for my friend was a daunting task until I contacted Handsworth, from initial contact to enquire regarding a room to my friend being
welcomed into Handsworth was seamless, the atmosphere in Handsworth is homely, safe and loving. To leave a lifetime home to begin a new life in a new home is a heart-wrenching decision to make, but all the staff have made my friend feel at home and are encouraging him to enjoy the start of his new adventure in life, I cannot begin to thank you all enough for your meticulous attention, outstanding care, support and love shown to my friend, his friends and family, you are all an absolute credit to Handsworth and beautiful people, much love.
