I cannot thank the team enough for the care, kindness and support they provided to my great-grandma. Following the loss of my great-grandad, it was a very difficult time for our family. The managers were incredibly compassionate and understanding, helping her settle in with warmth, dignity and
reassurance.
The home truly felt like her home. It is beautifully decorated and has wonderful facilities, including a library, beauty salon, hair salon and prayer room. The gardens are also beautiful and provide a peaceful place to spend time.
The food was always excellent. After losing weight during a hospital stay, the team supported her so well that she was able to regain weight and improve her wellbeing.
Most importantly, every member of staff treated her with genuine care, respect and kindness. Knowing she was safe, happy and cared for gave our family great peace of mind. I would highly recommend this care home.

A wonderful care home offering high-quality facilities and thoughtful support. Residents are well looked after and have plenty of daily activities to enjoy. The home is clean, calm, and efficiently run. Staff members are caring, patient, and attentive.

I have always found the care given to my father at Handsworth as very good. He always has clean clothes, is shaved every day and has regular showers. The carers do a brilliant job in often difficult circumstances, for example, due to sickness or leave absence, when they are under pressure and
resources are stretched. I appreciate dad's care, even more so of late, as he is unable to feed himself or communicate properly and is incontinent. The carers are so patient with him and do a fantastic job. The kitchen staff have to purée his meals and do a great job of making them tasty and dad seems to enjoy them.

My mum has been a resident for nearly 4 years and we are so grateful for the excellent care she has received during that time. Of particular note is the welcome and attention she was given after a terrible experience waiting many hours for transport back to Handsworth. So many of the staff came
and made a fuss of her (and me) and a hot drink and food were immediately provided. It was such a relief for us both after a difficult time and I was confident that when I left she was completely safe and looked after.
It is hard to single out the best part of her life there, the staff 'get her' and frequently make particular food she has mentioned; her involvement in activities is now limited but she is always included and loves the visits of the children with 'songs and smiles'. Thank you so much.

My uncle was in the home for almost 5 years. From the age of 100 to only 5 months from being 105. He was profoundly deaf since being only 8 years old. The care he received at Handsworth was wonderful. The staff were loving and caring and thoughtful. He was always kept clean and smart looking. The
food was carefully chosen and well presented. He was treated as if he was their uncle/grandad. It was truly a home for him.
My sister or I went to visit at least 5 times each week - so we were well aware of the atmosphere there. We were so fortunate to have found Handsworth.

Handsworth has given my friend the quality of life he absolutely deserves after having to make a very hard decision to sell his home to begin a new life here, EVERYTHING is on point to giving the best care, he has been living a life of comfort here for approximately 18 months, it is completely
reassuring to know he is being cared for with dignity, kindness, in a safe and happy homely environment, all the staff are truly amazing on every level, Handsworth in my opinion is the very best home for excellence in exceptional care.

My brother has been resident at Handsworth for over 6 years now and we are very happy with all the care he receives here. The home is bright and well-maintained and there is a very welcoming, homely atmosphere throughout the whole home. The staff, at every level, are friendly, approachable and
helpful, and care for my brother with kindness and consideration.

Staff have cared for dad for 15 months now and are like family. They so kind and caring to Dad and so helpful and informative and kind to the family too. We couldn't ask for that to be in a better place. The activities organised our great too. It's a lovely atmosphere. I cannot imagine a Care Home
with nice staff.

the home has first class facilities,garden,lounges and dining areas. the staff are very supportive . the home is always clean and never smells. rooms are cleaned regular and if there is any issues they call to advise. medical support is available each week with medical staff doing rounds.

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
22 May 2026
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

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.

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.
