About Oakfield House

Oakfield House is a residential home in Birmingham. We support older people alongside younger adults, including adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, and the mix works better than people sometimes expect. What everyone here has in common is that they need some support to live well, and that they would rather that support came quietly. We begin by finding out how a person likes their day to go. That covers the obvious things, such as help with washing, dressing and medication, and the less obvious ones, like whether somebody prefers company at breakfast or would rather be left in peace until the middle of the morning. Those preferences go into the plan and we expect staff to follow them. The house is an easy place to visit, and we encourage families and friends to come as often as they like and to stay for a meal if they want to. We also keep people connected to whatever they did before they moved in, from places of worship to clubs and appointments across the city. Short respite stays are available too, which can be a good way of finding out whether somewhere suits before anyone makes a permanent decision. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to call in and see how the house feels on an ordinary day.
