Hagley Place is a happy home, the staff are always smiling and willing to help. In the very challenging circumstances of Covid-19, the organisation has managed well. My brother, who is in the nursing wing, was saddened that he was confined to his room, but at the same time he could not understand the
huge restrictions we were all living under! I am glad to be able to visit again.

The staff at Hagley are exceptional and always go over and above to care for the residents. My mum-in-law has had an extremely tough time the last few years, but we have been comforted in the knowledge that she is being cared for by such a fantastic team. Thank you Hagley.

My 90-year-old mother has been with Hagley Place for a little over a year. My initial impression was more akin to a four-star hotel than a nursing home. A purpose-built property, it has an abundance of design features to cater to the less mobile of our loved ones. Light and airy, with corridors wider
than most hospitals. For more able relatives, there is a lovely open plan coffee area which is a great social aspect for the residents, also a lovely place to meet up with my mother for a coffee and chat with other residents (pre covid). There are always a high number of carers and nurses on hand to help with any enquiries or to assist in any way they can. The staff are incredibly friendly and go to great lengths to solve any new issues that arise with my mother's health. The precautions they put in place for the pandemic have been remarkable, and we have been kept up to date on a regular basis. Even in the many months, I could not visit, I had no concerns for her wellbeing.

My husband has been happily settled in Hagley Place Care Home for 20-months. I could not wish for a better place for him. Relaxed, happy atmosphere and wonderful, caring staff, who are informative and welcoming to resident's families. The next best thing to home! A deeply felt thank you to them all.

Today has been a good day. Visited mom in Hagley Place and was allowed into moms room following their high level of safety precautions including a lateral flow COVID test. It was lovely being able to sit and enjoy each other’s company in moms own environment in her room. I’m very much looking forward
to next weeks indoor visit to be able to see her again. In the meantime, the regular window visits will have to do but the staff make visiting such a pleasure. Always pleasant and a welcome smile. I’m very happy that mom is so well cared for there. Thank you all at Hagley xx

I would like to thank all the staff at Hagley Place for the excellent care they have provided to my father and for keeping him safe during the pandemic. Although indoor visits have not been possible, the staff have helped facilitate window visits and have been very helpful in responding to telephone
enquiries. The recent acquisition of the visiting pod has made a big difference to the visiting experience, especially for my elderly mother. It is clean, weatherproof and warm, and allows us to be close to my father without having to wear masks because of the perspex screen.

I hadn't been able to see Dad for quite some time until recently and when I did I was absolutely thrilled to see that he actually looked better than he had done for years. This in itself speaks volumes. A big thank you to all the hard-working staff who have also treated Mum like family.

My parents were accepted for respite care at the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown, for which I am very grateful to Hagley Place. The care they have both received has been excellent. Phone conversations with staff have also been very reassuring. I can only complete this survey on what my parents have
told me as understandably, I have not been allowed on the premises. Well done to Hagley Place on their organised visiting scheme. It's very well planned.

Having spent many hours visiting care homes in the country with my brother, looking for care for our 93-year-old mother, Hagley Place was the last home we visited and on entering immediately felt it was the right place. We were given a warm welcome and the whole feel and atmosphere were so welcoming
and homely. My mother entered the home in October 2019 and we have been very pleased with her care. The carers and certain ones, in particular, have developed a close and caring relationship with my mother, especially lately in lockdown. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.

The care and devotion that my husband received in his last days was outstanding. He was always treated with respect, enabling him to retain his dignity. The staff treated me with kindness and warmth, allowing me free access and they always kept me informed on my husband's condition.

Every day that I wake up I am so grateful that I moved my Mum to Hagley Place. The care she has received from the outset has been exemplary!

My father was a resident at Hagley Place for 12 months. He had Alzheimer's and suffered from diabetes. The nurses and carers were just wonderful. They cared for my father as if he was their own. They put up with his quirks and at times, his rudeness and gave him the best care possible. It was hard for
my father, my mother and I but it was made bearable by their support, their love and their unfailing desire to do the best for dad. When nearing the end of his life, again the care and love for us all made the inevitable bearable. In many cases, the nurses and carers went the extra mile for us - I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My mum has been resident at Hagley Place for over 5 years. We feel it was the right place to be at the time and still is. The staff all very professional and extremely attentive to all mums needs. Mum's room is well set out with all the latest mod cons to keep mum safe and happy. The meals mum has are
prepared to a high standard. Recently we've found the head nurse very helpful with our little chart about mum's welfare and wellbeing.

What an amazing care home. I am a very old friend of a resident who is in the Dementia ward in his last stage of life. I was humbled to see the length to which the staff go to make him comfortable, relaxed and happy. One hears bad stories of care homes, but this home proves the opposite, that living
in a good home can be rewarding, fun, safe and, if necessary, a good end to life.
I wish to thank all the staff with whom I came into contact, especially senior nurse, for their thoughtfulness, not only to residents but to us, friends and relatives, in what is a very sad time, for making it all a gentle and unalarming experience. I came home to with very warm and positive feelings for my friends life and death. Thank you.

Barchester, do you realise what fantastic staff you have working in this care home. Since he has been there, my partner has had to move upstairs from the residential area because he needed nursing care. He has Dementia and inevitably his condition has deteriorated, but the care he has received in both
areas has been exemplary, responding to his every need. Not only that, it has been delivered with patience, respect and loving concern. I too have been supported and cared for when the going has got tough. Heartfelt thanks to everyone at
Barchester Hagley Place, your value is beyond price.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Barchester Hagley Place Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.868 for Barchester Hagley Place Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.868

  • 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 Hagley Place Care Home is based on 13 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 13 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.
