About The Gables

The Gables is a residential care home in Sutton Coldfield. We support older people and younger adults who need help with daily living, including people living with dementia, and we take respite bookings for families needing a short break or a period of extra support. We try to keep the home feeling domestic. People wake in their own time, keep their own belongings around them, decide how the day goes and are not rushed through anything. Meals are meant to be enjoyed rather than got through, and visitors are welcome through the day without arranging it first. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We would rather tell you that plainly than have you come across it somewhere else. We know which areas were flagged, work is under way, and we will go through it honestly with any family considering us or already trusting us with a relative. People making this kind of decision deserve straight answers far more than they deserve a polished paragraph. What we will always do is tell you when something has gone wrong and what we are doing about it, and raise it early when a relative's needs are changing rather than presenting you with a decision already taken. If you are looking at residential or respite care in this part of Birmingham, please come and see us and ask whatever you want to ask.
