  • 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.

I would like to thank all the staff at Broadway Halls and congratulate them on the way they have cared for my father these past 12 months, but especially during the 'lockdown'. I know my father's wishes have been listened to and his changing circumstances constantly re-evaluated to ensure he has the
best opportunities to thrive. As a family, our enquiries are always responded to. The home has a real 'family' atmosphere and standards of hygiene are excellent. Perhaps the best way of expressing my recommendation is to say that if I had to go and live in a care home, then this would be the one I would choose for myself.... but not just yet!

Reply from Rebecca Long, General Manager at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful feedback it means so much to me and all the team to hear you feel your Father is well cared for. Reading your comments is reassurance that we are achieving what we set out to do every day for our residents.

My mum went to Broadway Halls for respite just before Christmas and she was so well looked after. We as a family, made the decision to make the move permanent and the care and support she receives are outstanding. The knowledge that she is safe and happy during this difficult time brings us, as a family,
peace. I can’t express my gratitude enough to the team.

Just wanted to say thank you for the end of life care received by my mom during February and March 2020. The care she received from the nurses on floor two was excellent. They were always available and treated mom with care and compassion. The care mom received from the care staff was excellent. Admin,
managerial and maintenance staff were compassionate to my family and myself, even though it was a very difficult time at the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak. I would recommend Broadway Halls as I don't think they could have provided anything more for mom or her family during this difficult time. Thank you all.

Reply from Matthew Pound, Lead Activity Coordinator at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Thank you for your kind review of Broadway Halls at what we know is a very sad time for all the family. We are pleased that we were able to offer the care your mother required and to hear you find us 'overall excellent' and that you'd recommend our home to others is a compliment in itself. I will ensure all of our team are aware of your kind words. Thank you for allowing us to look after Mom and to be able to get to know you all.

I fully endorse the comments my brother made in an earlier review. The care and compassion shown to my dad and to his wife, sons and daughter-in-law in my dad's final days - and before, when he was a resident - helped make the saddest of situations bearable. Thank you so much to everyone involved in
Dad's care and in showing such thoughtfulness and kindness to us all.

My dad passed away today in Broadway Halls and I have to say that the whole staff were absolutely superb; professional, friendly, supportive and responsive. They were all fantastically accommodating and sympathetic and made my dad’s last days comfortable and dignified. They were also massively supportive
towards my mum, as well as my brother and myself. They are faultless, this is a very high-class operation, not just extremely good on the outside but similarly on the inside. Could not recommend more highly.

Overall excellent.

Dead flowers always left unless visitors do the job.

Reply from Alison Geddes, Marketing at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Thank you for your review, we're pleased to hear you find us 'overall excellent' and that you'd recommend our home to others. We have receptionists on duty all day including evenings and weekends as well as team on each floor 24 hours a day. Doors are locked after hours, and visitors who leave after hours are asked to inform a team member so the door can be locked behind them. Regarding the flowers, our team have been made aware of this issue and it will be taken up again with head housekeeper.

The entertainment team make this home special - they are fabulous! The carers are dedicated to their task but, the turnover is high so as soon as we get used to someone, they leave. The food is of high quality and varied. The onsite hairdressing facility is good and convenient. Some sentimental items
have gone missing from Mum's room, which is upsetting but, I prefer open door policy and freedom to roam.

Reply from Alison Geddes, Marketing at Barchester Broadway Halls Care Home

Thank you for your review, it's great to hear your positive comments about our Magic Moments Club team, food and hairdressing. We always operate at safe staffing levels with experienced care team on each shift alongside newer recruits to maintain consistency. Residents on our dementia floor are able to move around the floor freely with our open-door policy. However, if a family member notices an item is missing and makes us aware of this at the time, then we can make every effort to locate it.

I have had two previous family members who have been cared for here and when my Nan could no longer live alone, this was the only place I knew she would be happy. The services and staff are exceptional. My Nan is a very sociable person and the activities and trips fulfil all of her social needs. I would
not hesitate to recommend Broadway Halls to anyone.

My mother passed away aged 90 after a really fabulous 2 and a half year stay at Broadway Halls. Staff were very responsive to my mother's changing needs over that period. A friendly and busy environment which both my mother and I, as a visitor, really appreciated. Lovely facilities, hospitality, activities
and food.

Overall Mum receives excellent care at Broadway Halls. She is included in the activities which are varied. All of the staff are very kind and caring and she is treated with dignity. She has started to put weight on which is healthier for her as her weight was a concern when she came to Broadway Halls.
Mum interacts well with the staff and they can always get a smile from her.

This is a superb care home with friendly staff who care for their residents in such a warm and thoughtful way. Relatives are made to feel very welcome and there are always lots of activities and events going on. With the different level and type of care available here, it has been very helpful when
needs change and can be dealt with within the same place.
The location - a modern facility a short distance from the town centre with lovely large window views of Priory Park and castle and a sunny patio to enjoy too. Give it a visit.

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.
