Proud to win the Care Home of the Year Award in the National Care Awards 2024, the team at Bartley Green Lodge are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents.

They support them to have an active role to play in how their home is run. There are a team of resident ambassadors, who do everything from supporting the home manager to interviewing potential staff, to providing feedback at residents’ meetings.

The home is thriving, with so many activities to enjoy, from live music, animal visits and pampering in the salon and nail bar, where a hairdresser visits weekly, to trips to local garden centres and community coffee mornings.

The team embrace the local community into life at Bartley Green, taking the residents to places like the nearby social club and out for pub lunches. And local school children are always greeted by beaming smiles when they visit.

The residents and team were so proud to win a £10,000 garden makeover in an internal competition run by the home’s provider Sanctuary Care, creating their own designs for a dream garden, with wooden pergolas, raised planters and a polytunnel.

As such the gardens have been a hub of activity this summer, with the residents growing everything from lettuce and carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. They were proud to harvest their produce for the chef to use in the kitchen.

Delicious home-cooked food is served in the dining rooms, with freshly-baked cakes for afternoon tea. And the residents and their loved ones have taster sessions, to give their feedback on the seasonal menus.

Bartley Green also has welcoming lounge areas and a vintage café, where residents can socialise and spend time with loved ones, who are welcome at any time.

The care of mom has been outstanding from the first time she went into care 4 years ago. The staff are amazing and when it comes to the entertainment she is always the first to get up and start dancing along to the music.

My aunt became ill very quickly, and we wanted to find a care home close to where she lived so she could have visits from friends and neighbours, so we looked at Bartley Green Lodge. Right from the first tour to view, we felt right at home and the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and understood
what a difficult decision it was to choose a care home, and so quickly. They were really helpful and helped me 'dress' my aunt's room before she moved in, so she had her own clothes in the wardrobe, her own photos, and bits and pieces. Since she has moved in, the staff have been amazing, so patient, keeping me up-to-date with any and all developments, and have taken the time to talk to me and my aunt's other family and make us all feel welcome as visitors. My dad now says he'd move in when he can no longer stay at home! I'm very grateful to the staff at Bartley Green Lodge, they've been absolutely amazing.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We're delighted to hear that you and your aunt felt so welcomed and supported from the very beginning.

It's wonderful to know that your aunt is settling in well and that you and your family feel reassured and involved.

My mother was a resident for over two years and received outstanding care. The staff were attentive and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. My brother-in-law is now a resident and is receiving the same care. The home is always clean and fresh and I'm told the food is top notch!

My mom was a resident at Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home for more than seven years, in this time, Mom was cared for and loved by the wonderful team there. Mom didn't always take part in activities but that was her choice, she enjoyed to quietly watch and had enjoyment from watching others.
Mom was always given a choice whether it was what she wanted to eat or where she wanted to sit. The gardens are beautiful, like the people who work there. Always clean and fresh meals are always beautifully presented, brilliant chef. A wonderful place to live. Space to wander around, lots of pictures on the walls. A great activities coordinator with masses of energy and ideas. Lovely days out and children from a local school come to visit which gives some of the residents much joy. You can have peace and quiet or fun and madness, it's your choice and that's what counts. Nothing is too much trouble, just ask. Your worries are always listened to, just speak them.

Mum has lived at Bartley Green Lodge for over two years now and is very well cared for. The home is exceptionally clean and professionally run. The staff have worked hard to get to know Mum and have tailored care plans to her needs. It is reassuring for us that she is safe and cared for at all times.
Mum has her hair and nails done every week and the programme of activities is extensive. We are always welcomed into the home and invited to engage with the various events and activities going on.

In October my mother had her 100th birthday at Bartley Green Lodge. What a fabulous party the staff put on for her. She is thriving at Bartley Green Lodge, all down to the level of care she receives from the staff and management. A very clean, modern environment. Plenty of organised activities. Your
level of care for our mother is very much appreciated.

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer at this amazing care home in Birmingham. it was an incredible experience. The staff there are so friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and positive environment for both the residents and volunteers like myself. One of the highlights was playing bingo with
the residents. It brought so much joy and laughter to their day and it was heartwarming to see their excitement when they won. Overall, I highly recommend this care home for its friendly staff and engaging activities. It's a place where love and care are truly evident.

My mum was a permanent resident of Bartley Green Lodge from 22 May 2022 until her death there on 29th October 2023.
The quality of Mum's care has been exceptional. Mum entered care suffering from Alzheimer's, the condition from which she died. As Mum's disease progressed, the care that she received
never faltered, it adapted as she grew more poorly, with staff continuing to brighten her life until the very end.
Nothing more could have been asked of or indeed provided by Bartley Green Lodge. The staff are exceptional. They have a compassion, empathy, skillset and 'can do' resolve that shines from them. They truly are extraordinary people. This has been evident throughout Mum's residency. Towards the end of Mum's life, everything was done for Mum and for us all as a family that could have been done and everything was explained and shown to us in a sensitive way. The empathy and support at Mum's death will not be forgotten by us.


Finally, Bartley Green Lodge is superbly run and managed. Thank you.

Mum had to move from her previous care home in February this year because of closure and we were all concerned about the change for her, especially as we live so far away and were unable to visit. We needn’t have worried, the staff have been so kind and welcoming and have treated her as one of the “family”.
We see many photos of her in the newsletter and she is always smiling and has a lovely member of staff close by. We were particularly touched by the amazing celebrations they organised for her 100th birthday here at Bartley Green Lodge in October. It was very special for her and for her family. Our heartfelt thanks go to all the staff and management team.

I enjoy living here at Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home, I look after a dog called Beryl who we dogsit. The staff support me with online shopping and access to the community with pub lunches. The bar in the home is a win and I always seem to win the bingo prizes! I enjoy the food and can request
meals if I don't like the option. Staff are kind and helpful, we have a laugh.

Staff are excellent but one major problem is the build-up of heat, particularly on the second floor. The heat cannot be controlled and the owners need to install air conditioning units. Residents and staff suffer heat exhaustion. As a visitor, I can only tolerate the heat for a short time and have to
cut short my visit. The temperature in my brother's room reaches over 30 degrees - you are putting lives at risk. Residents are at risk of suffering heat stroke. Owners/managers must have an effective plan for dealing with rising temperatures. Room thermostats are completely useless and therefore, redundant. Please act! It's not fair on staff to work in these conditions. The ratings I have given for rooms and safety/security are due to heat.
Staff need to clamp down on visitors blocking other visitors in the car park. If there is no room in the car park, visitors should be encouraged to park in the road outside of the premises. Thank you.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home

Thank you for your praise for our amazing staff, we are certainly very proud of them. I am sorry you feel unhappy following the recent heatwave. There were fans throughout the building and in residents’ bedrooms and unfortunately, we had a fault with one of our air conditioning units, which was rectified the following day. While we did everything we could to reduce the heat, temperatures during this short spell were unprecedented and impacted everybody. We do encourage residents to have their bedroom windows open during hot weather, but as your brother prefers his to be closed, we must honour his wishes which unfortunately makes it harder for us to keep his bedroom cooler during these periods.
Whist we do everything we can to manage the car park, we are fortunate to have lots of spaces in our neighbouring street to park in when it gets busy during peak visiting times. Please don’t hesitate to speak to the home manager or her team if you have any other concerns.

Bartley Green Lodge is what every care home should strive to be! My anxiety levels were through the roof when I was told Mom needed to go into care. The staff here were so supportive of us and seeing Mom hug staff and smile and laugh with them has been so good to see. She has only been here a short
time but is settling in well! Thank you to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Bartley Green Lodge Residential 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 22 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 4.880 for Bartley Green Lodge Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 Bartley Green Lodge Residential 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, 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.
