My mother died at Hagley Place on Christmas Eve.
We found the end of life care very good.
The team who dealt with my mother were good at keeping us aware of her deterioration and advised us when to call in immediate relatives etc.
There was always someone, usually the same person at the end of the
phone to give updates.
My mother who was suffering from dementia had several visits from the out of hours doctor who administered morphine to calm her anxiety.
We were encouraged to come and go as we saw fit.

My brother and I can hardly believe the change in our mum since she has been at Hagley Place. She is the happiest she has been for almost 2 years. Whereas she was very anxious and agitated in her own home, she is so much calmer at Hagley Place and has benefited so much from having company and support.
I would definitely recommend the home and the staff are so kind and friendly.

Hagley Place is a well-designed custom built, comfortable care home. My wife spent two weeks of respite there and settled in quickly and well, seemed quite content and made friends with other residents. To me, the outstanding feature of Hagley Place was the competence and careful attentiveness of the
staff who also kept me well informed.

I'm having a wonderful time!


After six very difficult months and a deep depression, the atmosphere of kindliness and help at every turn has set me on my feet again, thank goodness! Every aspect pleases and supports. From the excellent meals, always nicely served, to the garden and all the lovely

staff and so much fun! Thank you.

When my mum came to Hagley Place, she was in a very poor way, even though she has been living in her own home with full-time carers. Six months on, she is settled and is beginning to find her feet, this is all down to the wonderful caring staff, who have all gone out of their way to help her. I cannot
thank them all enough.

My mother has first class respite care at Hagley Place, Ludlow. Over the past year she has grown to know many staff members who welcome her when she returns. I have peace of mind knowing Mum is happy and well cared for when her live-in carer takes her breaks.

My mother has just spent 2 weeks at Hagley Place and enjoyed her stay. The staff are kind and caring and genuinely care for the residents. The food is of a good standard and Mum enjoyed her meals. The activities on offer are varied and residents are encouraged to participate and are helped to join in.
There is laughter and smiles and a very good team of staff and carers in place and they treat the residents with dignity. After visiting several homes in the area, I knew immediately that Hagley would be the place for Mum.

I lost my wife after 67 years together and am broken hearted. Your staff were just what I needed, very friendly, a ready smile, always willing to help and made me feel I belonged. In particular, my allocated helper, she is so thoughtful, she helped me through more than I can say. My visitors all remarked
on the friendliness and the way tea and cake was supplied. My very first visitor said, "what a lovely room, I like your curtains".

I am deeply grateful to the General Manager and to all the staff at Hagley Place for looking after my mother in her last days at Hagley Place Care Home. I am very clear that she could not have been in kinder or in more caring hands. The sheer professionalism, friendliness, warmth and compassion shown
by all members of staff was absolutely evident on all the occasions that my wife and I visited my mother. She could not have been in a better place when the time came for her to finally leave her own home. Thank you.

I am more than satisfied with the care and treatment during my stay here. Having the stroke in the first place was a pretty awful shock. Having been an active person - a church warden for 10 years and a member of 2 committees for 20 years and a first aider for 20 etc - hence, I am able to appreciate
the knowledge and work that your staff put in, especially the carers. For their ages, I am surprised at the wealth of knowledge.

From when we first came to view Hagley Place till when my sister went back home, the care and service could not be faulted in any way. We still have phone calls from the staff after she left to see how she is coping at home. Well recommended.

We brought our sister here 2 weeks ago. Her progress has been outstanding. She is now eating very well and drinking quite a lot. She is talking very well now and getting quite cheeky with the staff. We are very pleased with how our sister is being looked after.

This home is amazing. It is hard to believe they have the same CQC rating as the home my mother moved from; they are infinitely superior in every way.


Everybody smiles, everyone is kind and extremely respectful of residents and, most importantly, everyone knows what they are doing. The team truly

operates as a team with everyone, whatever their role, taking a full part. Staff make time to go at the individual resident's pace, creating a very calm and supportive atmosphere.


I am so pleased we have discovered this home for Mum. I know now that she will be well cared for in a totally holistic way for the remainder of her days. This home is not just ticking the boxes as far as care is concerned, they are going way beyond. Everyone there should be really proud of what they are doing and the positive difference they are making to the vulnerable people in their care.


Well done Hagley Place staff. Keep up the good work - we really do appreciate it.

On entering Hagley Place, there is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. All the staff greet you, even if they don't know you. Everyone is helpful and makes your visit a good experience. My husband settled down immediately and improved physically and mentally in the 3 weeks he was there. I would have no hesitation
in letting him stay there again and have recommended Hagley Place to friends.

My mother-in-law was cared for to an excellent standard. The genuine care, warmth and professionalism of the staff is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. I visited my mother-in-law, during unsociable hours, late at night, early morning due to commitments, she was always well cared for and happy.
The staff stayed with us right through to end of life care and treated my mother-in-law with respect and dignity to the end. I cannot recommend Hagley Place highly enough and would like to thank them for their support.

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.
