I am entirely delighted with The Springs. Mom has settled in better than we could have hoped. It is very reassuring to know that he is cared for so well by the lovely staff.

My sister and I have been consistently impressed by the exceptional personal care given by staff in the 'Priory' wing.
Our mother has now been a resident for over two years.
The care and attention given is to be highly commended.
We are always given up-to-date relevant information regarding the state
of our mother's health and any new medicine administered during our frequent visits.
The staff are always friendly and helpful.


We recognise the importance of the continued welfare that the unit manager and staff give our mother 24/7.
A wonderful oasis of care during the 'Autumn' of our mother's life.

My Mother has lived here in nursing care for five months and I visit twice daily, interacting with nurses, carers, support staff and management. I am very happy with the care received, nurses and carers work very to support my Mother and quickly learnt about her needs. She settled quickly after moving
at a great age from her previous residential home where she had spent nearly eight years. I believe my Mother to be safe and well looked after here. Staff also treat me with a professional approach and empathy in the face or my Mother's dementia. Small improvements could be made in the consistency of her personal care, with greater attention to cleanliness of her fingernails. dentures and correct handling of hearing aids. Her mouth often has food around it all night after being washed.

My mother has been at The Springs since March 2017. Placing Mum in a home was a heart-rending decision but after care in her home failed it was the only way we could be sure that she would have 24hr attention. My sister, my husband and myself visited 7 homes in the area during one day. The Springs was
the only one that seemed to offer anything near the care we required. The attitude of all the staff made us feel it was somewhere we would trust to care for Mum.


It is only since Mum has been there that we have truly valued the professionalism of those who work there. Medically they watch her like a hawk, personally, they are kind and considerate and spend time with her talking about her family. She interacts with other residents and members of the team. As children, we had a piano in the house. She is now encouraged to play the piano in the lounge. When we visit she is always smart and well dressed with clean nails and attractive hair. She is treated with dignity and kindness.

Thank you for your review. This must give you so much peace of mind knowing that your mum is well looked after and that she is happy and making new friends.

My father has been in The Springs since November 2015 in the Priory Unit after his dementia/Parkinson's became too much for mum to cope with at home. After visiting many homes, the Priory Unit at The Springs was by far the nicest place he could be. The staff are excellent, caring and attentive. We are
always kept informed of my fathers progress. The whole family are so much more relaxed to know that he has 24/7 care in a safe comfortable environment. There are always activities going on and the meals are extremely tasty, we often join him for lunch.

Thank you for your review. It is lovely to hear that you feel like this and it must give your family such peace of mind knowing that your dad is well cared for.

My Dad stayed in the Morgan Unit for nearly 3 months (emergency respite). I cannot praise the unit enough. All of the staff were wonderful and caring. They understood his nature. He was always someone who used to work out things, an engineer, do-it-yourself man, and they gave him things to do around
this. The activities organiser was brilliant with regards to this. The staff looked after my dad as if he was their own. The food was exceptional. I'm sure he misses this where he is now. If this home was closer to where my mom lives he would be there now. Thank you, everyone. We did not have to worry when he was with you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for The Springs 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 22 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 4.776 for The Springs Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 254 Ratings = 4.776

  • 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 The Springs 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, 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.

Maria Willis

Job Title: Home Manager

I have been a home manager for over 12 years. I am a registered nurse and have been for nearly 20 years, firstly working in the NHS as a band 5 nurse progressing to ward sister. I left the NHS in 2010 to work in my first care home, progressed very quickly to unit lead and then deputy manager, taking on my first home manager role in 2011 for Bupa. I have had regional roles within the sector, supporting other home managers and improving the quality of care.


I love working in care services as the difference we can make to people’s lives is massive; we are so privileged to help to enhance resident’s lives, and that of their families and friends, too.


Every day is different; being a part of such a fantastic team is so rewarding, with our combined goal to make a difference to those that we care for.


I am married with 2 grown-up children, I have 2 wonderful step-grandchildren and a new baby granddaughter. My family are my world; I love nothing more than everyone coming to our house for a get-together. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, especially whilst sat on a sunbed in the sunshine on holiday!

Job Title: Clinical Deputy Manager

Joined: 2024

During my work experience week at school, I went to the ALEX (Redditch Acute Hospital) and worked on one of the wards for the week. In that week I knew I would always work within the care sector and I have ever since. I started as a care assistant within a nursing home and then became a field care manager in domiciliary care. I thoroughly loved working in a nursing home as a care assistant and knew that was the area of the care sector that I wanted to work in. However, I needed to go away and gain more experience and knowledge first so I could complete the role not only effectively but to a high standard - I completed my nurse training, working as a care assistant.


Once qualified, I made the move to the acute setting to gain more experience. During my time in the NHS, I became a sister in both urgent care and HDU. I also completed my bleep training for Worcestershire Acute Trust and regularly had the bleep over the weekends. The bleep is the clinical site lead, so I would be in charge of the clinical side of the whole of Alexandra Hospital. I enjoyed my time within the acute setting but felt I had gained the experience and knowledge I needed to form a strong base to continue my career within the primary sector and more specifically within a nursing home. I love many aspects of working within care services, but I would say one of my favourite aspects would have to be listening to other people's stories and life experiences.


In my spare time, one of my main hobbies would have to be showing my dogs, we have had the pleasure of running around the green carpets of crafts every year since I started showing. My dogs and horses take up the majority of my free time!

I have worked for Bupa for nearly 5 and a half years and have always worked in the hospitality industry.


I enjoy working in care services as every day is different here - seeing the residents enjoying their food and living a better, longer and healthier life is so rewarding.


I love spending my spare time in the garden growing all sorts of fruit, vegetables and flowers, I also enjoy watching my football team play and holidays in Spain with my wife.
