What our families say on carehome.co.uk

"I have no hesitation in recommending Broadway Halls for the care of your loved one. My mother has been a resident for over 12 years and is now aged 102. Her longevity is largely thanks to the wonderfully efficient and devoted care afforded her by the staff. The accommodation, meals and regular, stimulating activities all contribute to the residents' wellbeing. Definitely justifies a 5-star rating."

"Visited my mother-in-law who has now been in Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home for three months and was so pleased to see how much she has improved physically and mentally. She is joining in a lot of the activities and is being stimulated which has had a very positive effect on her. We, as a family, are really happy with her progress and the Broadway Halls for making a difference."

"Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home is an impressive home. From the moment you enter, you are welcomed with pleasant surroundings. The reception and office team are very friendly, knowledgeable and really helpful. The care staff are very supportive and ensure residents are well cared for, look smart and provide an array of daily activities and days out. Housekeeping and maintenance ensure the home is maintained to a high standard. The residents' rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. There is a good variety of meals available on each menu throughout the day. Staff regularly keep us informed of Dad and appear well-trained while many staff have worked at the home for years and it is good to see that the company recognise and values their staff. It is good to see the company is spending a lot of money around the home upgrading rooms. After an exhaustive search, we came across Broadway Halls and it immediately felt right. After each visit you come away feeling happy, knowing Dad is safe and being well cared for."

"I enjoy my visits coming to see my friend. There is always a warm and friendly welcome in reception. My friend is here for respite at present and I cannot believe the change in her. The care staff are very professional, polite and nothing is too much trouble, the food has been enjoyable and lovely. She has been coming out of her shell and enjoys the singers and some activities. Thank you all for looking after my dear friend. She has been well looked after."

"Well appointed care home close to Dudley Town Centre and across the road from Priory ruins/park/gardens. Beautiful interior, well maintained, excellent care staff and a well-received activities diary that is varied and interesting. Menus are changed regularly and residents can ask for specific meals to be cooked to order. Rooms are light, airy and nicely decorated with en-suite shower rooms. In addition there are assisted bathrooms for those who prefer a more supported environment. There are 3 separate levels of care - residential, nursing and dementia and each floor has it's own dining room and lounge, therefore providing a more intimate dining experience. Families are also allowed to dine with residents for a reasonable charge. There is a nice outside area and the upper floors have balconies with seating areas so residents can enjoy the sunshine in nice weather. However, unfortunately the costs have risen dramatically during the time my father has been a resident. Over the 2 years he has been there, there has been an increase of 16.5% in his fees which are much higher than any rises he has had in personal pensions, income etc. so it is important to establish early on that yearly rises can be met by residents, as it would definitely be a place that most residents would not want to move on from once settled. I think it would be interesting to hear why such an increase each year is made especially as this is a home that has over 80 residents in total. The staff have been excellent in the care and support offered to my father and as a family, we have peace of mind that he is safe, secure and well cared for. They are quick to share information with us and the continuity of staffing allows my father to make strong relationships with his carers. I would highly recommend this home to those who can afford it as it is head and shoulders above others that we have seen in the area."

"Overall Mum receives excellent care at Broadway Halls. She is included in the activities which are varied. All of the staff are very kind and caring and she is treated with dignity. She has started to put weight on which is healthier for her as her weight was a concern when she came to Broadway Halls. Mum interacts well with the staff and they can always get a smile from her."

"Very happy with the way Mother-in-law is looked after. The carers are all fantastic and treat everyone with professionalism and care. We have nothing but praise for Broadway Halls staff and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to arrange for family members to stay here."

"This is a superb care home with friendly staff who care for their residents in such a warm and thoughtful way. Relatives are made to feel very welcome and there are always lots of activities and events going on. With the different level and type of care available here, it has been very helpful when needs change and can be dealt with within the same place. The location - a modern facility a short distance from the town centre with lovely large window views of Priory Park and castle and a sunny patio to enjoy too. Give it a visit."

"The entertainment team make this home special - they are fabulous! The carers are dedicated to their task but, the turnover is high so as soon as we get used to someone, they leave. The food is of high quality and varied. The onsite hairdressing facility is good and convenient. Some sentimental items have gone missing from Mum's room, which is upsetting but, I prefer open door policy and freedom to roam."

"My mom came in for respite for two weeks while I went on holiday. Mom loved it, it's nothing like a care home, it's like a hotel. The staff are very polite and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Fabulous place."

"On the whole, Dad has received excellent care during his 39 months at Broadway Halls. My only concern is that sometimes messages are not passed on at change over, e.g. recent example on March 26th, I had to take him to an appointment but he was not ready and had not finished his breakfast when I arrived to pick him up despite me providing at least 3 reminder notes."

"As my relative has only been in care for short time and up to now, can only praise the care that she has received. It has made such a difference to her health and it has improved 100% as I wanted social interaction for her which was promised and glad to say that it is on offer. It has also made a difference to the family as we know she is being well cared for and happy. Thank you to Broadway Halls, what a difference you have made."

"I am very happy at Broadway Halls and glad I have settled in easily. I enjoy the activities and there is a good selection that varied daily/weekly. The home has a lovely atmosphere and feel included because of the resident meetings. The food is good and varied. Since being here I have never felt sad and have no regrets in moving here."

"I spent 10 days in Broadway Halls following surgery for kidney removal due to cancer. I simply cannot fault the treatment I received for the duration of my stay. The nursing care was excellent and the loving care received from all the staff was truly amazing. I was admitted straight from the hospital to the home following their consultation with the medical team so the level of nursing could be continued. My sincere thanks to all the staff for their kindness and help they gave me. I must also mention the excellent food. Finally, my family and friends were made so welcome. It was truly a lovely experience. Thank you all again. You were brilliant."

"My mom was allocated a room at Broadway Halls following the closure of the nursing home she was in five weeks ago. Since the move, she is in a lovely spacious room and has received a high standard of care from a nursing team who appear to be very dedicated. At mealtimes, menus are on the tables, residents are given a choice, and the food is always homemade and freshly cooked. I feel my mom has been welcomed at Broadway Halls and settled in quickly. After a 28 days, her place has been made permanent and I’m more than happy!"

"Mom has stayed at Broadway Halls twice now, both times mom was well cared for, clean and fed well. Being blind and severely affected with arthritis, she has to be aided to move etc. It will be somewhere I will be leaving mom again. They also try to help me out in circumstances such as short stays if needed. They staff have built up quite a relationship with mom and remember all of her likes and dislikes from her last stay. I would recommend Broadway to anyone."

"Mum was being discharged from hospital and asked if she could stay somewhere for a couple of days until she was confident. One phone call and we were told a bed was available. We asked if mum could be assessed onsite. We were accommodated with this request. She was treated not just with respect but with love. It was the bridge she needed. Mum insists on hot tea. This was noted and hot tea was given. She also mentioned she likes butter not spread on toast. The next morning butter was on her toast. Its the little things that make residents feel safe and comfortable. We were very satisfied."

"Broadway Halls is a beautiful peaceful residence. Very well furnished in a homely style, exceptionally clean and welcoming. Staff very keen to help and assist visitors. Their devotion and care to residents was outstanding. Initially my husband had 3 weeks respite but due to his continuing health needs it has become evident he needs 24/7 care. Broadway Halls is the choice of my husband and all the family as we know he will be happy and cared for."

"Visiting once sometimes twice a month, to chat to my neighbours and to say hello to the residents. The staff are always very friendly and happy to help every time I pop in. Broadway Hall is a 5 star place for the elderly to stay, and very well looked after. I highly recommend it if need be for your parents to stay."

"I visit Broadway Halls monthly to chat to my neighbours and other residents. The welcome desk and open management style is the best I've ever experienced. The residents chat avidly about their trips out to the park, local restaurants and musical events. The quality of life really matters to the team. As a working woman, I really appreciate being offered refreshments when I visit. Rushing around means I often don't get a chance to rest and this is put right when I visit Broadway Halls. In all my visits I have seen fresh flowers on display and not once have I smelt urine, which I think says it all."

"My mom was in this care home for 20 days respite as she has not been well and I was going on holiday. The care and attention she got was amazing. She was so much better, a happier person, she joined in with all the activities. I would recommend Broadway Hall to anyone. Excellent in every way."

"Broadway Halls is bringing dementia care into the 21st Century... It is a refreshing change to see a home that is modern and well thought out, and somewhere that is fit for purpose, despite the disadvantage of having to put a loved one into care."

Tracey A

"My mum was in respite for 12 weeks with vascular dementia. It was her first ever care home stay (she's 69) and they have been fantastic. Life long depression plagues my mom and she gets very angry and physical, but the staff have been amazing. They used distraction techniques with dignity and manage to engage with Mom to the point she was happy to see me leave after I visited! You can trust all the staff with your loved one, anytime."

"Mam has been twice to Broadway Halls and both times has been looked after very well. I appreciate the visiting times as I work all day and being allowed to call in at any time during the day was excellent. The staff are wonderful, I knew how difficult the residents can be as I have worked in a care home myself, but never did I see any annoyance from the staff towards anyone. I wish Mam could go to Broadway Halls on a permanent basis but it is very difficult due to the cost, Mam did enjoy it there even though she said different, every time we visited she was full of praise for everyone."

"My mom stayed here in August 2016 for three weeks whilst recovering from a major operation. She was very poorly but was looked after very well by the nursing staff. The only downside was the food which could have been better."

"On the whole, the experience was good. I just have a couple of minor issues that I would like to draw your attention as for £900/week, I would expect the bed clothes to be changed more than twice in four weeks, the second change only happened when we asked about it. The waste bin in the bathroom went days without being emptied. I know this because the shower gel bottle remained in the bin. This said, the rest of her stay was most comfortable and staff were very friendly and amenable and made her feel very welcome."

"My mother went into Broadway Halls in January 2012 after 4 months in hospital. At that time she weighed just 29 kgs. The care she received and the persistence of the staff resulted in her regaining a weight of 40 kgs. My late father used to visit on a daily basis until his own health issues forced him to visit every other day. The staff always made him very welcome. Throughout her time there all the staff have been excellent. Unfortunately, her health deteriorated recently to the point that they had to consider what to do. Mum wanted to stay there. This was supported by the staff and the palliative care nurse became involved. Over the next few days, they did their best to make mum as comfortable as possible cleaning and changing her as often as was necessary. Nothing was too much trouble for them to maintain mums dignity. I have witnessed for myself how hard the staff worked and how they communicated with the residents even those who had issues that prevented them responding."

"After searching various care homes over 2/3 months Broadway Halls Care Home came up trumps with regards to facilities, location and standards we would want for our mother. The care mother had received has been of a high standard to date (no cause to think this will reduce) and despite her reluctance to accept she needed help she has settled well into home life which will help the relatives feel less guilty though this feeling never goes away. She is safe, secure had independence bt care is always on hand to assist. Lovely crew of carers."
