The genuine care and professional manner to which both my aunt and uncle have received since both became residents has been impeccable. There is a wonderful home feel. A sense of belonging that not only residents are given but the relatives and friends too. Nothing asked is ever responded to as a chore,
but with a really supportive and determined person whoever that person is, to help and make things better. This place, the staff, with the best chance of happiness!

Totally dissatisfied experience. On attendance to the home all things were good. Once arrived inside the home we experienced a resident defecating in my uncle's room. No staff were about and we had to raise concerns with the carers who finally appeared some minutes later. Human excrement was smeared
all over the entrance to 22, the room my uncle is in and the resident was covered in excrement. Not a good experience. My uncle's personal space and dignity were breached and insulted, and it left us very unhappy.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Edgbaston Manor

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Edgbaston Manor. We are genuinely sorry to hear about the distressing situation you encountered during your visit. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the negative experience you and your uncle faced. We understand the seriousness of your concerns. The situation you described is certainly not the standard of care that we aim to provide at Care UK. We also regret that it took longer than expected to find staff to respond to the situation, which only added to your frustration and distress, but I understand the staff acted immediately upon recognition of your concerns to rectify this. If you would like to discuss this matter further, we would certainly encourage you to contact complimentsandcomplaints@careuk.com so we can investigate this in more depth. Best wishes.

My friend is very comfortable in this care home. She tells me how helpful three particular members of staff are. She loves the food especially the sausage baps. Reception staff always give visitors a really good welcome and are very happy to talk a little before you leave. Fantastic!

All of the staff we met when we came to sort out the resident's belonging after he sadly passed away were so supportive and helpful. They make a very difficult task easier to manage especially the reception staff. It was very clear that all of the staff knew him well, and had really cared for him. Certainly
in conversation he was always very complimentary about everyone who helped care for him.

My father was incredibly well looked after during his time at Edgbaston Manor and upon his passing the staff have been outstanding, showing the utmost care and empathy with the situation. I am very grateful for the support that the staff have given to me whilst sorting out his affairs and belongings,
they have made the process as painless as possible and been so understanding. The receptionists that have greeted me have been very welcoming and made sure that all my needs were catered for. I would definitely recommend Edgbaston manor to anyone looking for a residential home, you'll be in great hands.

My sister-in-law and I visited this care home as we were looking for a care home for our brother, we had three care homes to view that day and Edgbaston Manor was the first, upon entering we were made to feel very welcome by the receptionists, then the lady that showed us around was very helpful and
friendly, the whole atmosphere of the place felt really good and we decided there and then that this was the place we wanted for our brother and we didn't bother viewing the other care homes.

Moving to a new place can be a challenging experience, but thanks to your dedicated and compassionate team, my dear friend is settling in. The welcome we receive on arrival from the receptionists sets the whole tone for the Manor. Warm, friendly and an exemplar of customer service. It is a great comfort

My sister now living at Edgbaston Manor wanted to throw a party to thank friends for their kind support following her stroke in April. Edgbaston Manor staff stepped up to this very well. Before the day the Chef and the team worked thoughtfully with my sister to find her preferences for the menu and
setting. An attractive menu was created, with care taken over dietary requirements for the 20 guests. They even offered a backup system to play the exact music that my sister wanted. On the day, the Receptionist made all her guests feel welcome. My sister's carer had come in on one of her days off to help her get ready to enjoy the event, which was much appreciated. Edgbaston Manor benefits from a delightful rooftop terrace and adjoining lounge, which provides a relaxing and spacious venue. The quality of the food was, as always there, first-class. The party was a great success and gave great pleasure to us all. An excellent event thanks in great part to the staff.

I am very grateful to the staff who cared for my parents during their time at Edgbaston Manor. The care home staff went out of their way to accommodate us, including organising a pre-Christmas meal in December last year, which was a lovely family occasion that my parents responded to very positively.
The regular activities organised by the care home were also appreciated and it was especially good to hear how on one occasion my father had made a connection with two other residents who had worked in similar professions and how my mother's reading skills had been put to good use in a poetry reading to other residents. The genuine warmth of the staff towards my parents was evident on my regular visits and the staff were always friendly and willing to help.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Edgbaston Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.695 for Edgbaston Manor is calculated as follows: ( (434 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 522 Ratings = 4.695

  • 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 Edgbaston Manor is based on 42 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 42 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.
