The staff at The Spires were brilliant. They were very helpful in settling my mum in for her stay and always called me back if I had any concerns. After mum being quite apprehensive about staying she came out saying that everyone was very friendly and the food was great. A huge relief as it's never
easy leaving your mum somewhere different. Will definitely use again.

Reply from Fran Sharp, General Manager at Barchester The Spires Care Home

Thank you for giving us your feedback on your Mum's stay with us, she is always welcome to come back to us. I am so pleased you felt relaxed and at ease knowing she was settled, happy and enjoyed her meals. I will pass on your comments to the care and dining team.

I spent 10 days in The Spires in respite care. All the staff were extremely helpful, respectful, empathetic and very hard working. Nothing was too much for them, they always had a smile. You have a brilliant team in The Spires Care Home. The only area of improvement is that a greater ration between
staff and patients could help further. The furnishings and environment are lovely I would definitely recommend The Spires Care Home.

Reply from Fran Sharp, General Manager at Barchester The Spires Care Home

This was the first time my husband had gone for respite so I could have a break.
He settled very well and although he cannot tell me many details as he has dementia, he had obviously been well cared for and happy.

Reply from Carrie Jahn, Home Services Advisor at Barchester The Spires Care Home

We appreciate entrusting care for your husband with others is a difficult step to take and we are so happy that you were happy with his care and you were able to have a break yourself without worrying. We look forward to welcoming your husband again later this year. Thank you for giving us feedback, we really do appreciate it.

Both my parents have been resident in The Spires for several months and I can't praise it highly enough. The staff are caring and compassionate and take the time to get to know the residents and their families. My parents have very different needs but the ethos and facilities at The Spires has enabled
them to stay together. They are safe, cared for and extremely well nourished. I can relax and be a daughter again.

Mum has settled very well at Barchester The Spires. We were very uncertain about whether the next stage of care should be permanent but feel greatly reassured by the care mum has experienced in the last few months staff are all lovely and show great empathy with residents. Mum has made new friends and
is very well looked after 24/7. We are able to enjoy her company again and it is lovely to see her happy and content.

My mother came to The Spires for respite care for two weeks. I visited at various times and the residents were always content and very well cared for. The staff showed genuine dedication and always welcoming and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. The calm and peaceful atmosphere was reassuring and
enabled me to leave my mother in their care without worry. When I went to fetch my mother home, she had blossomed and was so alert and content that I extended her stay. Being able to book respite care up to a year in advance is wonderful. Also knowing that my mother will enjoy herself and receive high-quality care, wonderful food, all provided in homely, comfortable surroundings is worth more than any amount of money can buy. The Spires is a perfect example of what a care home should be like and I would have no hesitation to recommend it. I hope this review helps anyone considering respite/permanent care and reassures them that there is nothing to worry about at The Spires. Thank you.

A two-week stay at The Spires has been an excellent way for my cousin to give serious consideration to her future care needs. I am pleased she accepted this opportunity to experience 24-hour support.


She is not yet ready to surrender her independence but has appreciated the benefits. The location

is very good, easily accessible too.

Mum came to The Spires initially for respite following a rather nasty water infection. She has Dementia and lived alone in Pelsall. Whilst in hospital, the Dementia was diagnosed and then everything fell into place. For her safety and well being my sister and I decided that The Spires was the place
for her. She loves talking to people, singing and dancing. The Spires Care Home is brilliant. Mum refers to it as her Hotel. The decor is splendid the facilities are amazing especially the spa bath. She can often be heard singing in the bath!!! Mum loves the spa bath with coloured lights and bubbles. The staff are wonderful so caring and friendly. Nothing is too much for them. Mum thankfully has loads of visitors and everyone loves to go and see her especially with the bistro area they've got. Lovely drinks and homemade cakes and coffee - just help your self!!! I've been to a number of care homes before choosing The Spires and without a doubt, this is the Ritz of care homes.

From the moment we walked through the door we were made more than welcome by the receptionist.
We were then shown around the building and it was like walking around a 5-star hotel.
The manager came to visit our home to see my mum and her care, compassion and understanding was wonderful.
Mum spent
12 days respite in The Spires whilst we were on holiday and I can honestly say from friends who visited her they all gave glowing reports regarding the staff. I cannot praise the staff more highly - very professional.
I certainly would recommend The Spires to anyone - wonderful.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Barchester The Spires Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.796 for Barchester The Spires Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.796

  • 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 Barchester The Spires Care Home is based on 22 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 22 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.
