  • Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home, Dudley
Just a short walk from Priory Park, the Zoological Gardens, and town centre shops and services, Broadway Halls is a modern and spacious residence in the heart of Dudley. The home provides residential, nursing, respite and dementia care. With 83 en-suite bedrooms divided between residential, nursing and dementia communities, professionals think carefully about the type of room each resident needs.

Bedrooms are set across four floors, and each floor has its own living and dining rooms, meaning peace and quiet is never far away. All furnishings and decor throughout the home are of an exceptionally high standard. There is also a landscaped garden with raised flower beds with seating areas, perfect for outdoor socialising.

A varied menu is provided daily by trained chefs, who prepare nutritious, tasty meals on site. Special dietary requirements are catered for, and dining rooms are set to restaurant standard.

The team of dedicated recreation staff plan numerous activities to keep residents engaged and stimulated through regular events and excursions. Participation is encouraged, but entirely optional, and staff do their best to make sure all residents have the means to entertain themselves in private. Relatives and residents are part of the planning process, to ensure everyone's needs and desires are met.

Firstly, the staff were extremely helpful when I was trying to prevent a cycle of repeated discharge and readmission to the hospital. A manager kindly visited my relative in the hospital to assess her needs and arranged for her discharge to Broadway Halls. I am over 200 miles away and so this was really
going the extra mile.
I had not seen the home when my relative was admitted and relied upon reviews. A person connected with the Telecare system, however, remarked to me quite spontaneously about the quality and care that the home provides. The home is spotlessly clean, and the rooms and corridors are light, airy and spacious. The dining room and menu look very inviting and even if this doesn't suit, there was every effort made to accommodate preferences and requirements. There is also a huge programme of activities for each day of the week. The staff are very friendly and kind, I thoroughly recommend them.

Dad was a resident at Broadway Halls Care Home for a short while from February 2023 to May 2023. We were extremely happy with the care and service he received. Unfortunately, he was in and out of the hospital but we did get him back to Broadway Halls to end his days. When he passed, the staff were so
kind and considerate and dealt with his death so sympathetically.

Reply from Danica Chugh, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback, it is lovely to hear that you were happy with the care your dad received. We are so sorry for your loss, thank you for choosing us to care for your dad, I will pass your heartwarming words to all the team who supported him during his time with us at Broadway Halls.

The home is a beautiful place, and the staff are very kind and caring. Seeing my aunt happy is all I could ask for. The home has a lovely atmosphere, and the staff are very approachable if there is anything that needs arranging, with great food and the activities make sure everyone is catered for. The
cycle race past the home was brilliant and what the team did that day for the resident and the whole community was something to be very proud of. I would highly recommend this home. Thank you, Broadway Halls, for all that you do.

Reply from Julie Willmouth, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Today was Commonwealth cycling which past the care home. As we walked by, the members of staff made such an effort to entertain the locals and their residents. The sun was shining, and they had music for all to enjoy, dancing and keeping everyone smiling. It created such a lovely atmosphere, and it
was such a special and beautiful effort by workers from the care home.

Reply from Julie Willmouth, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

We are so happy that you joined in our Commonwealth celebrations and party; thank you for your lovely feedback. We really wanted to make the event a day to remember for our residents, team and our local neighbours, and it is great to hear you felt we achieved this.

I was only in Broadway Hall for respite care after a total knee replacement. I was welcomed and treated with respect all the time I was there. I would think of living there if I needed future care.

We found Broadway Halls extremely pleasant and very welcoming. Staff could not do enough to help us and make my husband comfortable. The one and only criticism we had is my husband was not invited to join in activities on lower floors, and he found it lonely on the floor he was on. This, I think, was
due to the lack of patients on his floor. Otherwise, we have sung the praises and recommended Broadway House to all our friends and family.

Reply from Julie Willmouth, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Thank you for choosing Broadway Halls for your husband's respite care and for taking the time to give us your feedback. We are so pleased you felt welcomed and are happy with the team and level of care he received whilst staying with us. Our vast array of activities as part of our lifestyle enrichment programme is provided to benefit all of our residents, I am sorry to hear you felt your husband did not join or benefit from the activities offered daily. We have taken on board your feedback and will aim for all residents to be encouraged to participate in our activities and events.

My mom has been here for nearly three years. I can honestly say she has really been so well cared for; she is a different person since she came; she was practically bedridden but now walks about, talks to people, and loves her food and the carers. We are so grateful and happy she is here. A big thank
you for looking after all her needs so well; you are doing a marvellous job, she is always clean, well looked after and very happy; her room is always lovely. A big thank you to you all.

Looks beautiful like a hotel but unfortunately, we had an awful experience with respite for my dad who has mid/late-stage Alzheimers disease. Went through all of the care planning when we visited and needs were made clear. The manager had no issues with what was discussed, including assistance with
walking, needing to be fed/watered, barrier creams etc. Dad came home dehydrated, unshaven, anxious, prescription creams unopened, lost weight and had a fall while he was there (despite them being told he needed support walking at all times) and we have no idea if his multiple medications have been administered as nothing was returned. When we collected him at 11:30 he hadn't been got out of bed and had no breakfast. Despite asking repeatedly, no one was able to give us a copy of fluid charts or care records from when he was there. We still to this day have no idea what he did/ate/drank /medicine while there or if participated in anything (we were unable to visit due to Covid).

Reply from Novlette Thomas, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Good Morning Jenny R, I'm sorry that you feel this way regarding the experience of your loved one. At Broadway we strive for high standards and sharing information with our residents and their loved ones and such concerns are treated with the utmost importance to improve the service. As the new manager here I would be happy to discuss these concerns further to make the necessary improvements for the future.

My husband has had two respite stays in Broadway Hall both of which I have been very satisfied with. As well as being an amputee he has dementia so cannot tell me what he has done, but the staff who are really caring assure me that he is comfortable eats well and takes part in suitable activities. If
I need respite again I would definitely use Broadway Halls.

Reply from Novlette Thomas, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Thank you for a positive and lovely review of our care and team they will be so thrilled to read this. It is also wonderful that you are able to relax and enjoy your break being reassured your husband is well cared for and safe. Thank you for choosing Broadway Halls for his respite stays.

Disappointed. Mom has worn strong-lens spectacles since childhood but she was returned to me with none on. I had to ask where they were and was told they were lost. We had a few visits at home presenting several pairs none of which were hers. Ultimately I feel someone should have noticed she had none
on and called me to apologise and ask if I had a spare pair. Mom has dementia, imagine her confusion at not being able to see properly in a strange place! Poor service and consideration I feel.

Reply from Novlette Thomas, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

I am so sorry to hear your feedback about the loss of your Mother’s glasses whilst she was in our care. You are absolutely right it is so important for all of our residents to be able to wear their glasses to feel orientated, I will look into the situation. I hope you were happy with all other aspects of our care as we have a dedicated and lovely team caring for our residents in Memory Lane, we aim to support all new residents to settle in as we appreciate a respite stay is a new environment for them.

Having had ongoing problems with my nan's last care home and being very unhappy with my nan's wellbeing, I took the rash decision to move her. It was a massive risk at the age of 101, but I'm so glad I took that risk. All of the staff, even the maintenance man, are so friendly, and management is very
approachable. From the moment you walk in, you are treated like family. My nan has been in Broadway for 2 months now, and she is so much brighter and alert and she seems and looks very happy and content. The staff on the nursing unit are really lovely girls and so loving towards my nan, it gives me great peace of mind she is being looked after like she deserves, and now I really look forward to visiting her. It is what every care home should be, and il be forever grateful for them looking after my nan.

My friend has recently moved into this care home because she needed more specific care. She is extremely happy there, describing it as amazing. She has said how kind the staff are and how well they look after her. She also said how they check on her all the time, including at night which she likes as
she’s not left alone. It is so nice to hear my friend is so happy and receiving the right treatment. I would like to thank everyone at the care home for their commitment to excellent care.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.643)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.643) out of 10 for Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home 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 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 4.643 for Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.643

  • 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 Broadway Halls 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6, 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.

There are various textures of food, special diets, diabetics, vegetarians and so much more. It can be challenging, but I love it and have an amazing team to work with!

Hi, I'm Chris the Sous Chef here at Broadway Halls.


I previously worked at Broadway Halls in 2014 and left to develop my skills in a fine dining restaurant in Birmingham. I was pleased to rejoin the team in November 2024 - I missed the people, the Residents and the homely culture that comes with working in care.


I have worked in hospitality since I left school and I am passionate about the dishes I create and serve. My signature dish is chicken and spinach pasta, tossed in a creamy sauce.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and walking my dog. Aston Villa is my team and when they are not playing I enjoy following horse racing and when the time allows, a day at the races is always welcome!
