About Fountains Care Home

Fountains Care Home is a residential care home in Solihull. We support older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We try to make this a home rather than a facility, and that shows in fairly ordinary ways. Rooms are personal. People get up and go to bed when it suits them. Nobody is made to join in with anything, and there is no fuss about visiting times. If somebody has always had their breakfast late and read the paper in peace, that can carry on here. Staff help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and moving about, and they do it in a way that leaves people their dignity. For those living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried, we keep staff teams consistent where we can, and we ask relatives to tell us about a person's life. Knowing what somebody did for a living, who matters to them and what they have always enjoyed is usually the key to understanding what they need in the moment. We also support younger adults, and we plan individually rather than expecting somebody several decades younger to fit a pattern designed around older residents. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round, meet the team and talk to families of people who already live here before deciding anything.
