My friend/neighbour has been in respite care at Allenbrook for 6 weeks so far. She is being very well cared for and there is a caring, friendly, helpful atmosphere in the home. All the staff seem to have good relationships with the residents and amongst themselves.

I had to make the difficult decision to put my mom into respite care. From my first point of contact with Allenbrook Home, they reassured me that my mom would be safe and well cared for and they were not wrong. Mom stayed for a month in her own private room. The meals were amazing. Everyone who works
there is kind, compassionate and understanding of the resident's needs. Mom enjoyed her stay and I wouldn't hesitate to use Allenbrook again in the future.

As a family, we could not ask for more of the Allenbrook family. From all staff involved with our sister, the care is given with dignity and care. Most importantly emotional care is included so the person is not lost in the nursing environment. Knowing that your loved one is safe and nurtured provides
peace of mind. The necessities of life, taken care of with compassion in an open-house environment. We are delighted with the whole team.

Mum has been a resident here for over a year. She is well cared for and I have no worries. The care home is welcoming, visiting times are very flexible and Mum seems happy and content. The food always looks appetising and Mum eats well, has gained weight and has maintained this. I always sit with her
in the resident's lounge so I can observe what happens. Carers show respect, empathy and patience to all residents even when behaviour is challenging. Management offers plenty of opportunities for feedback, providing regular times to meet.

My father is having his second period of time at Allenbrook Home. The staff are all excellent and very helpful and caring. It's good to know he is in safe hands. All other aspects such as communication and admin etc are also first class. I would highly recommend Allenbrook should you or a family member
require their service and expertise.

My brother lives in Allenbrooke. He appears stable and care staff appear to know him well. He has a lovely room which is well kept. He would benefit from more individual daily activity as he cannot manage group activity.
The home is clean but would benefit from an update in furnishings and more dementia
signage.
Care staff work hard and are responsive.

Appear understaffed. Call times (service users waiting on staff to attend) are simply appalling. Every visit buzzers going off. I've witnessed response times of over 1 hour frequently. Too many agency staff - which isn't good as some appear uncaring and like 'it's just a job' - they can't wait for their
shift to finish. The manager is approachable and appears receptive to feedback. My aunt since being in their care has developed bed sores which are now infected. Told they turn her hourly - but know from my visits - that simply isn't happening. Shocking!

Allenbrook have coped well throughout the difficulties caused due to covid. My main concern is that there are never enough staff which I understand is a problem in general. The staff are extremely hard working and caring but there is a quick turnover. Due to staff shortages, standards are not always
up to my expectations. Food, on the whole, is good but meat is sometimes too tough for the elderly residents. Hopefully, there will be more entertainment and activities now covid is being successfully controlled.

My mother has been a resident at Allenbrook Home since January 2020, following the death of my father (who had been her main carer). The nursing home has been extremely supportive towards my mother, who has had to cope with her increasing dementia, bereavement, and covid-19 restrictions. In addition,
my mother has challenging oral and dietary needs. More recently my mother has become more relaxed, regarding Allenbrook as her home. Allenbrook is a little restricted in space for activities.

This nursing home has gone the extra mile to make sure my father settled in when I had to move him from a care home. All the staff have been very caring, to help him feel really comfortable and reassure him that it is his home and if needs anything he only has to ask. The nursing care has been good,
and my father always looks clean and well dressed. The food suits my father and he is now eating very well, the chef does come out of the kitchen to see if there is anything particular needed for the residents. Altogether I have to say a very well run, clean, happy home, that have the residents and the supporting families best interests at heart.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.321)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.321) out of 10 for Allenbrook Home (Halesowen) Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.521 for Allenbrook Home (Halesowen) Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.521

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Allenbrook Home (Halesowen) Ltd is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 8 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.
