They are proud to be associated with the Bournville Village Trust's care community for the elderly, and the home offers respite, residential and dementia care services.

The building stands in an elevated position and boasts stunning views of a waterfall, stream and the Bournville Village. Its sleek design features a beautiful central curved roof, floor-to-ceiling windows, and doors that open to the grounds, creating a light, sunny and connected atmosphere with the surrounding landscape.

The care home in Birmingham has beautiful atriums on each floor, and they house a bistro and bar where residents, friends and families gather. Additionally, four dining rooms and intimate lounges, styled in contemporary décor with bold splashes of colour, lead out to terraces that provide a perfect setting for a pre-dinner drink or an observation of the magnificent surroundings. The home also includes its own hair salon, café, and cinema room.

The home is open to visitors, where you can witness first-hand the beauty of Bourn View Care Home.

Visited on 10th February - Monday. He falls a lot and his mat was not plugged in. He was served lunch in room & his chair was not adjusted so he could eat easily. In dining room, 1 lady against wall had a plate of food & was incapable of feeding herself. Food was all over her table. No one was feeding
her. There seemed a staff shortage. For the feed being paid care should be better.

Dad has been at Bourn View Care Home for over four years now. He is happy and very well cared for. Staff always go above and beyond to ensure residents' safety and well-being are maintained.
Despite a change in management over the past eighteen months, standards have been maintained in a time that
must have been unsettling for staff.
As a family, we are 100% happy with the excellent care Dad continues to receive.

The team are 100% professional, efficient and empathetic. They have made my mum feel supported and welcome as he has moved into the Bourn View Care Home from an extended hospital stay. The team have also helped us, as a family, to manage the transition into care home living which required our modification
of approach with my mum. Thank you.

The care for my sister continues to be excellent. She is very well cared for and happy here. There are always going to be some issues, but I do feel that once raised they are addressed or at least explained. I would like to see a more consistent approach to actions promised e.g. making phone calls,
cutting nails and phone calls. That said, I am very happy with the care my sister is receiving and feel the staff work hard, often going above and beyond.

Choosing a care home was a huge decision for the family. So far, no regrets. The staff are a dedicated team showing a wealth of kindness, friendliness, love and support to my family.
Most important, there are special times for bonding, e.g. having her nails painted and plaiting her hair, also putting
on a little make-up (she loves bright nail polish). She enjoys some of the activities (need encouragement to take part more often), socialising is important for her to experience the joy, love and happiness of where she lives.

I was visiting a resident who is in respite care. Also, I stayed here on respite care five years ago for two weeks. The entrance and approach to the building is well well-signposted. The foyer is welcoming. The reception staff were very friendly and I was delighted that one of the reception staff from
five years ago was still there. The care staff were gentle and helpful. They treated my friend with efficient care and dignity.

This is a lovely care home. Always warm and welcoming. Individual care staff are excellent but there is some inconsistency in the standard of care depending on who is on duty. Mum has definitely improved in mobility and mental health since she came here and we are very grateful for that.

My dear mother has resided at Bourn View Care Home for over two years. Overall, my mother receives very good care. The staff (a consistent team) are warm, professional and extremely hardworking. The standard of cleanliness is also very good in all areas of the care home. My mother's room is well-maintained
with a delightful patio. The onsite GP practice ensures that residents have frequent access to a regular GP who visits the care home. The staff are very vigilant and attentive regarding medical matters and always ensure that my mother gets appropriate medical attention.

From the minute you walk through the door you are greeted by smiling friendly professional people. My uncle only spent 3 months here before he passed, but he was made comfortable and treated so kindly by everyone, that we knew we could not have chosen a better place for his last few months. The staff
from the front desk to the cleaners. Carers and kitchen staff are professional and amazing at what they do. The bistro in the entrance is a nice little touch, you can take your loved one out there for a drink and they have freshly made cakes and biscuits for you to help yourself. The care is top-class and personal to the individual. They think about the small details that a lot of places don't think of. Can't thank them enough for the care and love they have shown my uncle and us as a family.

Reply from Marie Accison, Home manager at Bourn View Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you so much for your lovely review Jane. Your Uncle was a truely wonderful man. A true gentleman and an absolute pleasure to look after. We were honoured to be able to be there and care for him in his final few months. I'll pass on your lovely words to the rest of our team, its so lovely for them to hear that their hard work and dedication doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you once again.

There is a lovely, welcoming atmosphere as you enter Bourn View Care Home and a sense of life about the place. There is the chatter of residents enjoying cake and coffee in the lounge area by reception and it's good to hear conversations that relate to the local area. We chose the care home partly because
Mum is from around here and this allows her to hear people talking about an area she has always known. Mum's been in Bourn View for five months now - she is settled, content, safe and secure.

Thank you for the lovely review of our home. we pride ourselves in making our residents feel at home and we love nothing more than listening to them talk about their experiences of living around the area.

My first impression of Bourn View Care Home - Avery Healthcare was that it was warm, inviting and welcoming. My friend has been staying for respite and has received kindness, support and care. They have now decided to remain as a permanent resident. We met with the manager who gave us excellent advice
and reassurance regarding her future care. I have no hesitation in recommending future care. I have no hesitation in recommending Bourn View Care Home to friends and family.

Our 95-year mom has been at Bourn View Care Home since April this year and her care has been superb, exceeding all our expectations. We looked at several care homes for Mom when the time came that, unfortunately, she could not safely stay at her home and Bourn View was head and shoulders above all the
others in every aspect. The staff are so compassionate and considerate in dealing with Mom's dementia. The home is immaculate with a cleanliness that is exceptional with beautifully maintained, safe grounds. Her room is bright with lovely decorations and homely furnishings. The food provided is of a very high quality with a good variety on offer, the care team go to great lengths to encourage Mom to eat her meals. Many activities are continually organised to help with the well-being of the residents, these are posted on Facebook for us to see. The staff are all very pleasant and well motivated. We have been so impressed from the very warm welcome at reception to the lovely personal care Mom is receiving.

My mum has been at Bourn View since January 2019 and we couldn’t be happier with the personalised care and love she has been shown by the staff in all departments. She tells us on each visit how kind everyone is and how lucky she is to be there. She is always encouraged to come out of her shell and
to eat properly and we love to see the social media photos of her laughing and joining in activities. It really is a first-class care home and we have never felt this so keenly as in the last week when she had a health scare and was admitted to hospital. The Bourn View carers were calm, compassionate and so caring and she was welcomed back with open arms and we could see the relief and joy on her face to be back ‘home’. Thanks to all the carers, housekeeping staff, reception and management for their professionalism and genuine care for the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.657)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.657) out of 10 for Bourn View Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.657 for Bourn View Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.657

  • 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 Bourn View Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 19 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 19 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.
