My stepdad, who has dementia, has been a full time resident at Broom Lane Care Home for 4 months and we have been really impressed with the staff and their commitment to the job and their residents. Two members of staff in particular who both made sure his move to the home was as smooth and efficient
as possible. At the time of the move my mum, 80 years old, was his full time carer and was finding the physical side of his care (lifting, showering, etc.) just too difficult to be able to take care of him at home. Because of this urgency the home found him a temporary room on another unit until his permanent room became available. As soon as he moved in both his and my mum's quality of life drastically improved. Mum now enjoys going to visit him and speaks about the staff as her new friends. Knowing he has the right care available to him 24/7 is a weight off our shoulders. I'm very grateful for everything that the Broom Lane staff have done for both my stepdad and my mum.

Since dad has been in Broom Lane Care Home he has been treated with dignity and looked after, that he didn't have in hospital. The staff are lovely and work very hard, they are understaffed at times and the workload is excessive. The medical support is good but sometimes the medicines are not as we
request. Dad has an eczema condition that is helped with increasing his steroid tablets until under control and Dermorate steroid cream.

Completely happy with the care my mum receives in the Sitwell part of the home. Staff are lovely and genuinely care. Many have years of experience and receive regular training. Mum settled in quickly, after a disastrous encounter in another care home, and is very happy here. Her room is nice and spacious
and kept beautiful and clean.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we try our utmost to make sure every individual resident's needs are met and that they feel part of our family here at Broom Lane.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My sister who has vulva cancer, dementia and recently broken her hip required an interim care home before she could go into her nursing care home. We chose this one and can I say, the home was outstanding. We were greeted warmly after a rushed discharge and within a week the carers became my sister's
family. They cleaned her, fed her fantastic meals, knew all her requirements both medical and socially within days. My sister had been in hospital for months and on every day of those months she asked ‘when am I going home’. Home as she knew it was never going to be for her as her medical needs are complex and her condition is palliative. The best gift this home gave us was when she said ‘it’s good to be home, no place like home’ The staff, from the reception to the housekeepers were professional and compassionate. There was one occasion when my sister’s hygiene lapsed, but it was resolved immediately and it never happened again. We would have no reservations recommending Broom Lane.

My mum was looked after amazingly by the care staff. They were always smiling and polite and very kind to my mum. The staff made the care home, and I wouldn’t have wanted my mum to be cared for by anyone else. A big thank you to everyone at Broom Lane!

Broom Lane Care Home management and staff have been amazingly helpful, caring and accommodating to my grandad's needs since he’s just moved into Broom Lane, Grandad arrives on an emergency for his own safety. We didn’t feel pressured or pushed into anything. The staff went out of their way to make Grandad
welcome and settled. Grandad now doesn’t want to leave having made new friends. Grandad is now safe and happy. Thank you to all at Broom Lane.

This week I’ve been able to visit my grandma at Broom Lane this week for the first time in over a year. I can’t praise all the staff enough, my visit was well organised and feel all precautions were taken.
My grandma looked well cared for and during my visit, telling me she’s been to visit the hairdresser.
Grandma informed me of all the amazing things she gets up to each day and how lovely and kind all the staff are at Broom Lane. Thank you all very much.

In the short time that my father has been in Broom Lane Care Home, I have been extremely impressed by the care, support and consideration shown by the staff. They go that extra mile to ensure that residents are treated with dignity and that their families are able to communicate with them even in such
trying times as these.

Most of the staff are very polite and helpful but could do with a few more staff and cleaners, so that when residents ring their bell there is plenty of staff to see them, without too long a wait.

I visited a friend today (24th February) and as soon as I walked in the front door of the home the smell of urine hit me! My friend's room was just as bad and her quilt was damp and urine-stained. She too smelled of urine which is not her fault and is all down to her dementia. Some major improvements
in this area need to be made.

Reply from Andrew Wood, Director at Broom Lane Care Home

Thank you for your review and I feel I must address the points you have raised. I have investigated this matter and unfortunately, the resident does have quite challenging continence care and the room is deep cleaned daily in order to support this.


In relation to the entrance and communal areas, I do not feel this represents the home we regularly receive highly positive reviews for the cleanliness of the home and we visit the home weekly and have never found this to be the case.


Please speak with the manager should you wish to raise any concerns and they will gladly assist you.

The home is clean and tidy, and Mum loves spending time in the lounges - participating in the events and activities the home has on.

All the staff we have met have been kind, caring and friendly. Grandpa seems well-fed, clean and supported. There is not much stimulation for him, he doesn't get outside in the fresh air and seems to spend most of the day in a chair where he can't even see the TV or look out into the garden. He is profoundly
deaf so most activities pass him by, he can only really join in if someone sits with him and writes things down for him as he can't hear conversation. Staff don't have time to do this, so he is quite lonely and bored a lot, although happier than living alone.

The care home is clean and the staff are friendly and kind. There isn't much stimulation for my grandfather due to his deafness. Some trips out or interaction with a chalkboard to write what is said would really improve his quality of life in his later years. There is lots of space for the residents
and it's quite clean and bright.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.078)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.078) out of 10 for Broom Lane Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.370 for Broom Lane Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.37

  • 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 3.708 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Broom Lane Care Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.333

  • 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.
