Handsworth

Handsworth opened in October 1971. Owing to the relatively small size of the area, and unusually for MHA at that time, the home was built as a four storey building that nowadays is home to up to 43 residents.

During its history, Handsworth has had two extensions added. Nowadays, it is becoming an increasingly popular proposition for local residents. Not only does it have a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, it is also a place in which residents are involved in decision-making, in line with MHAs ethos for person-centred care.
