Mother is dying, as I write, having lived here 6 years. She is being beautifully cared for now in her last few days, as she has been throughout and up to her recent decline only a week ago. Up to then, despite severe dementia, this nimble 92 yr old was up and a loved part of the community, despite frequent
falls as her frailty rapidly took over and needing all personal care. The staff are calm, competent, very kind, respecting of personality and tastes of the resident and have (this is not a sentimental remark) given her the best 6 years of her life- she felt safe at last.

Handsworth has provided a safe and secure sanctuary for my aunt whose health (physical) has deteriorated. The cleanliness, bight environment, friendly and experienced staff have helped the family at this difficult time. The location enables my aunt to be wheel chaired down to Altrincham and the gardens
allow my aunt to exercise as well as enjoy the flowers and plants.

My mother has been living happily at Handsworth for over six years and during that time she has enjoyed a real home from home environment. Recently she has been very ill and spent two weeks in hospital, her eyesight has significantly deteriorated to the point that she is classed as 'partially sighted'.
My
mother was extremely anxious when she returned to Handsworth, being confused by the changing surroundings. The staff were wonderful in taking extra care of her, reassuring her, even helping her with her meals until she felt content to manage again by herself. She is now content and settled in the comfortable, caring and familiar surroundings she knows.

After looking at a number of care homes for my mother, I found that Handsworth looked as if it provided an excellent level of care with interesting things for the residents to get involved with.
My mother has now been at Handsworth for about 2 years and I have been very pleased with our selection
and the level of care and service provided.
This was an excellent choice.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Handsworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.977 for Handsworth is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 Handsworth is based on 11 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
