What a wonderful afternoon. Staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. It was a great turnout and all the people seemed to be enjoying themselves. They had pushed the boat out and decorated lovely, moved chairs for family groups. There was chatter, laughter and music. I can't thank the staff

My sister has settled in very well. She is very well cared for and enjoys the food and activities. As a regular visitor, it would be good to have the pin code to come through without disturbing the reception staff. I would like to say how wonderful I have found all the staff, from the receptionist,
right through to the management, very friendly and efficient in their respective roles. I would definitely recommend Birchmere to anyone looking for a home and my sister and family count themselves fortunate to have found it.

I am wonderfully overwhelmed by the professional, polite, and empathetic support of all of the team at Birchmere House Care Home. This was a big decision for my nan to try another care home after some bad past experiences and we have been met with such care and understanding. Nan was really nervous
about it all, and over a bit of time with help from staff and other residents, she is starting to come out of her shell. Nan looks healthier and happier and as a family, we are so very grateful.

My mother needed full-time care after a number of falls. Birchmere House Care Home was very sympathetic and caring for her needs. After a period of respite, my mother very quickly settled in permanently. The staff are all simply fantastic here, always have a smile on their face and nothing is too much
trouble.
The home is spotless and the facilities are excellent. The entertainment programme is very full with a vast array of activities to keep the community occupied. Trips out on the minibus are particularly fun with regular stops for ice cream.
Overall, the decision to put my mother in Birchmere was exactly the right one and I'm very grateful to everyone who helped my mother settle in and who has made her life such a happy one.
I would thoroughly recommend Birchmere to anyone who is considering a care home in the Solihull area.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.630)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.630) out of 10 for Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.630 for Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 405 Ratings = 4.63

  • 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 Birchmere House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 33 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 33 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.
