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.

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.

On the whole, the experience was good. I just have a couple of minor issues that I would like to draw your attention as for £900/week, I would expect the bed clothes to be changed more than twice in four weeks, the second change only happened when we asked about it. The waste bin in the bathroom went
days without being emptied. I know this because the shower gel bottle remained in the bin. This said, the rest of her stay was most comfortable and staff were very friendly and amenable and made her feel very welcome.

Broadway Halls is bringing dementia care into the 21st Century... It is a refreshing change to see a home that is modern and well thought out, and somewhere that is fit for purpose, despite the disadvantage of having to put a loved one into care.

Broadway Halls is an excellent care home which offers a range of care packets to suit individual needs. The premises are fantastic, well furnished throughout. Each room has its own ensuite facilities and you are able to take personal items to enhance the residents environment. The staff are friendly,
approachable and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble. The care given to the residents is excellent and as a family we are kept informed on a regular basis about mum's well being. As a family we are very pleased with the care and support offered and couldn't wish for a better place for our mum.

My mother went into Broadway Halls in January 2012 after 4 months in hospital. At that time she weighed just 29 kgs. The care she received and the persistence of the staff resulted in her regaining a weight of 40 kgs. My late father used to visit on a daily basis until his own health issues forced him
to visit every other day. The staff always made him very welcome.
Throughout her time there all the staff have been excellent.
Unfortunately, her health deteriorated recently to the point that they had to consider what to do. Mum wanted to stay there. This was supported by the staff and the palliative care nurse became involved.
Over the next few days, they did their best to make mum as comfortable as possible cleaning and changing her as often as was necessary. Nothing was too much trouble for them to maintain mums dignity.
I have witnessed for myself how hard the staff worked and how they communicated with the residents even those who had issues that prevented them responding.

After searching various care homes over 2/3 months Broadway Halls Care Home came up trumps with regards to facilities, location and standards we would want for our mother. The care mother had received has been of a high standard to date (no cause to think this will reduce) and despite her reluctance
to accept she needed help she has settled well into home life which will help the relatives feel less guilty though this feeling never goes away.
She is safe, secure had independence bt care is always on hand to assist. Lovely crew of carers.

My mom was in this care home for 20 days respite as she has not been well and I was going on holiday. The care and attention she got was amazing. She was so much better, a happier person, she joined in with all the activities. I would recommend Broadway Hall to anyone. Excellent in every way.

I visit Broadway Halls monthly to chat to my neighbours and other residents. The welcome desk and open management style is the best I've ever experienced. The residents chat avidly about their trips out to the park, local restaurants and musical events. The quality of life really matters to the team.
As a working woman, I really appreciate being offered refreshments when I visit. Rushing around means I often don't get a chance to rest and this is put right when I visit Broadway Halls. In all my visits I have seen fresh flowers on display and not once have I smelt urine, which I think says it all.

Visiting once sometimes twice a month, to chat to my neighbours and to say hello to the residents. The staff are always very friendly and happy to help every time I pop in. Broadway Hall is a 5 star place for the elderly to stay, and very well looked after. I highly recommend it if need be for your
parents to stay.

Broadway Halls is a beautiful peaceful residence. Very well furnished in a homely style, exceptionally clean and welcoming. Staff very keen to help and assist visitors. Their devotion and care to residents was outstanding. Initially my husband had 3 weeks respite but due to his continuing health needs
it has become evident he needs 24/7 care. Broadway Halls is the choice of my husband and all the family as we know he will be happy and cared for.

Mum was being discharged from hospital and asked if she could stay somewhere for a couple of days until she was confident. One phone call and we were told a bed was available. We asked if mum could be assessed onsite. We were accommodated with this request. She was treated not just with respect but
with love. It was the bridge she needed. Mum insists on hot tea. This was noted and hot tea was given. She also mentioned she likes butter not spread on toast. The next morning butter was on her toast. Its the little things that make residents feel safe and comfortable. We were very satisfied.

Well appointed care home close to Dudley Town Centre and across the road from Priory ruins/park/gardens. Beautiful interior, well maintained, excellent care staff and a well-received activities diary that is varied and interesting. Menus are changed regularly and residents can ask for specific meals
to be cooked to order. Rooms are light, airy and nicely decorated with en-suite shower rooms. In addition there are assisted bathrooms for those who prefer a more supported environment. There are 3 separate levels of care - residential, nursing and dementia and each floor has it's own dining room and lounge, therefore providing a more intimate dining experience. Families are also allowed to dine with residents for a reasonable charge. There is a nice outside area and the upper floors have balconies with seating areas so residents can enjoy the sunshine in nice weather.


However, unfortunately the costs have risen dramatically during the time my father has been a resident. Over the 2 years he has been there, there has been an increase of 16.5% in his fees which are much higher than any rises he has had in personal pensions, income etc. so it is important to establish early on that yearly rises can be met by residents, as it would definitely be a place that most residents would not want to move on from once settled. I think it would be interesting to hear why such an increase each year is made especially as this is a home that has over 80 residents in total.


The staff have been excellent in the care and support offered to my father and as a family, we have peace of mind that he is safe, secure and well cared for. They are quick to share information with us and the continuity of staffing allows my father to make strong relationships with his carers. I would highly recommend this home to those who can afford it as it is head and shoulders above others that we have seen in the area.

My parents are both residents needing different levels of care. Both are on the nursing floor. They both say that they are very happy and feel well cared for. They seem to be treated with dignity and empathy. Staff are very willing to listen to concerns and act on them appropriately, one downside after
meals residents are not checked to ensure food not left on their faces, only simple but makes a difference.

After mum came to Broadway Hall we were very worried about her settling in. She was making up stories about people not being very nice to her. Staff came to us and explained to us that was common to new residents. Over the last two months she has started eating better and accepting being in the care
home. She now isn't asking us to be taken home each time we visit, which was very distressing for us and her. This we feel can only be put down to the care and attention of the staff.

Mom has stayed at Broadway Halls twice now, both times mom was well cared for, clean and fed well. Being blind and severely affected with arthritis, she has to be aided to move etc. It will be somewhere I will be leaving mom again. They also try to help me out in circumstances such as short stays if
needed. They staff have built up quite a relationship with mom and remember all of her likes and dislikes from her last stay. I would recommend Broadway to anyone.

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.
