    • Care Home

    Rayner House provides residential care in Solihull for older people, including people living with dementia, and we also take planned respite stays. Most of what makes a care home a decent place to live is ordinary and daily. Getting up at an hour of your own choosing, food you actually want to eat, staff who know your name and your habits, and somebody noticing when you are quieter than usual. That is where we put our effort. Residents decide how their own days go, keep their own belongings around them and have visitors whenever it suits them. For residents living with dementia, familiarity and an unhurried approach prevent far more distress than they ever cost, so we keep the shape of the day recognisable, we send the same faces wherever we can, and we give people time to do things at the pace they can manage. We work with what somebody can still do rather than treating a diagnosis as the whole story, and we pay attention to what tells us somebody is uncomfortable when they can no longer say so plainly. Respite stays give family carers a proper rest and let people try us without any longer commitment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We ask residents and relatives regularly how we are doing, and we act on the answers.

    • Care Home

    Willow Grange is a residential care home in Solihull. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for families needing a planned break. Our priorities are plain: food worth eating, warm rooms, laundry that comes back properly, help that arrives without a wait, and privacy when privacy is wanted. Residents set their own hours rather than fitting ours. Dementia care here rests on knowing people. We ask relatives early for the history, the working life and the names, because those are what still connect when a great deal else has slipped, and without them we would be managing a condition rather than keeping company with a person. Respite guests get the same preparation as anybody else. We find out beforehand how somebody likes things done, since a fortnight leaves no room for guesswork. We also pay attention to the things that are easy to let slide: clean spectacles, working hearing aids, a favourite cardigan coming back from the wash. Neglect shows up there first. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We would far rather a relative raised something with us this week than mentioned it elsewhere next month, and we try to make that easy.

    • Care Home

    We at St Bernards Care Home offer a warm and welcoming residential care setting in the heart of Solihull, providing dedicated older person care for those seeking a comfortable place to call home. Nestled within the familiar surroundings of the West Midlands, our home is proud to serve local families across Solihull and the wider community. Our setting has been thoughtfully designed to feel like home rather than an institution, with comfortable communal spaces where residents can socialise, quieter corners for reading or reflection, and private rooms that residents are encouraged to personalise with their own treasured belongings. The familiar character of Solihull surrounds us, allowing residents to remain close to the neighbourhoods, memories, and loved ones they have known for years. We specialise in residential care for older people, offering long term support for those who can no longer manage safely at home. Our team also provides specialist dementia care, understanding that living with memory loss requires patience, consistency, and a deep respect for each individual's life story. We take time to learn what matters to each person, from favourite meals and music to daily routines that bring comfort and reassurance. For families needing shorter term support, whether following a hospital stay, during a carer's holiday, or simply to try residential living, we also offer respite care, giving loved ones peace of mind that their family member is safe and well cared for. In practice, this means residents receive help with daily living tasks delivered with dignity, meaningful activities suited to their interests and abilities, nutritious meals, and the gentle companionship that makes such a difference to wellbeing. Families are welcomed as partners in care, kept informed, and encouraged to visit and stay involved in the life of the home. We want to be open and honest about our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, which gave us an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We were pleased that our inspectors rated us Good for being Effective, Caring, and Responsive, recognising the compassion of our team and the meaningful support residents receive each day. The areas identified for improvement, around Safe and Well led, are ones we take seriously, and we are committed to strengthening every aspect of the home so that residents and their families can feel fully confident in the care we provide. If you are considering care for a loved one in Solihull, we warmly invite you to get in touch or arrange a visit. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we would be honoured to answer your questions, show you around, and help you decide whether St Bernards Care Home is the right place to call home.

    • Care Home

    At Birchmere Mews, we provide residential and dementia care for older adults in the heart of Solihull, and we are proud to also support younger adults, people living with mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We take in those who need short term respite care as well, giving family carers a well earned break while knowing their loved one is in safe, familiar hands. We were rated Good by the Care Quality Commission at our most recent inspection, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts into everyday life here. That rating matters to us, but what matters more is how residents feel when they wake up in the morning, whether they feel comfortable, heard, and at home. Life at Birchmere Mews is built around the individual. We know that moving into a care home is a significant moment for a person and their family, and we do not take that lightly. We take time to understand each resident's history, preferences, and routines so that the care we provide fits around them rather than the other way around. Whether someone needs a high level of support with daily living or simply some companionship and a helping hand, we adjust to meet them where they are. Supporting people with dementia is something we approach with particular thoughtfulness. We understand how disorienting and unsettling it can be, and we work hard to create an environment that feels calm and reassuring rather than clinical. Families are always welcome here. We believe good care extends beyond the individual to the people who love them, and we make sure relatives feel informed, involved, and at ease. If you would like to find out more about Birchmere Mews or arrange a visit, please do get in touch. We would love to show you around.

    • 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.

    Lyndon Croft is a residential care home in Solihull. We provide accommodation and personal care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, and we also offer respite stays for people who need care for a short period or whose family carer needs a break. We should be open about our current position rather than leave it to be discovered. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accepted the findings of that inspection and have been working through the changes it called for. If you are considering a place here, please ask us plainly what has changed, what is still in hand and how we are checking that improvements last. We would far rather have that conversation than not have it. The care we aim to give is straightforward enough. We get to know a person before they move in, so that we understand their routine, what they enjoy, what they can still do for themselves and what unsettles them, and we write it in plain language so that everyone supporting them knows it. For people living with dementia, keeping the day familiar and unhurried does more good than anything we could organise. Relatives are welcome and we would much rather hear a concern early, while it is easy to put right. If you would like to visit Lyndon Croft, please contact us.

    • Care Home

    Blossomfield Grange provides residential care in Solihull for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people who have sight or hearing loss. We also take planned respite stays. Our aim is that people carry on being themselves here, with the help they need arranged quietly around them. Residents choose when to get up, what to wear, where to sit and who to spend time with, and our staff know those preferences well enough not to have to ask twice. Practically we help with personal care, medicines, meals and all the business of running the place. For residents living with dementia, familiarity does most of the work. The same faces, a recognisable day, and time to do things at the pace somebody can manage. We work with what a person can still do rather than treating the diagnosis as the whole story. Where somebody has a physical disability or sight and hearing loss, we agree together how they want to be helped and how they prefer to be approached. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and let people try us without any longer commitment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. What matters more day to day is what residents and relatives tell us, so we ask them regularly and we act on the answers.

    Here at Claridge Place, we provide residential care for older adults in the heart of Solihull, and we take genuine pride in the community we have built together — residents, families, and our team alike. We support people with a wide range of needs, including dementia care, physical disability, and visual or hearing impairment. We also welcome younger adults and offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to recover after a period in hospital or to give a family carer some time to rest. Whatever brings someone through our doors, we aim to make them feel at home from the very first day. Our approach is straightforward: we get to know each person as an individual. Their routines, preferences, life history, and the small things that matter to them all shape the way we provide support. Good care is rarely about grand gestures; it is about consistency, attentiveness, and treating people with the dignity they deserve every single day. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, and we see that as a reflection of the hard work our team puts in day after day. That said, we never stand still. We are always looking at how we can improve and how we can respond better to the changing needs of the people we care for. If you are considering Claridge Place for yourself or someone you love, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us. There is no substitute for seeing the home in person, meeting the team, and getting a feel for the atmosphere here. We are always happy to answer questions and take the time needed to help you make the right decision, without any pressure at all.

    We at Eastcote Park Care Home are proud to offer dedicated residential and dementia care in the welcoming town of Solihull, West Midlands. Our home has been thoughtfully designed to be a place where older people, younger adults, and those living with physical disabilities can feel truly settled, supported, and at ease. Nestled within the Solihull community, our setting offers residents the comfort of a peaceful environment whilst remaining well connected to the wider area. The surroundings encourage gentle walks, quiet reflection, and the kind of everyday moments that make a house feel like a home. Families visiting their loved ones will find our location accessible and our atmosphere genuinely warm from the moment they step through the door. Our specialisms span residential care for older people, dedicated dementia support, care for younger adults, and tailored assistance for those with physical disabilities. In practice, this means every resident benefits from a personalised approach. For someone living with dementia, this might involve familiar routines, calming spaces, and meaningful activities that bring comfort and a sense of identity. For a younger adult or a resident with a physical disability, it might mean encouraging independence, supporting personal goals, and adapting daily life so that dignity always comes first. Whatever a resident's circumstances, our aim is the same: to provide compassionate, thoughtful care that helps each person live well. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make. That is why we place such importance on open communication, treating relatives as partners in care and ensuring loved ones are involved in the moments that matter. From the first conversation through to daily life within the home, we strive to create relationships built on trust, kindness, and mutual respect. Following our most recent CQC inspection in May 2022, we were rated Good across every domain, including Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This consistent recognition reflects the standards we hold ourselves to each and every day. It offers families reassurance that the care provided here has been independently reviewed and found to meet the expectations of England's care regulator across all areas of practice.

We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about life at our home, and help you take the next step with confidence.

CQC inspection dates for dementia care homes in Solihull

Inspected most recently

Longest since a CQC report

Arranging and funding a dementia care home place in Solihull

What the listed homes provide

All nine providers on this page are registered residential care homes, which means personal care such as help with washing, dressing, eating, mobility and medicines, delivered by staff trained to support people living with dementia rather than by nurses based on site. Settling whether that level of support matches the person's needs is worth doing before any visit, since a residential home cannot take on clinical tasks requiring a registered nurse.

Reading the reports with dementia in mind

Seven of the nine hold a Good judgement and two are marked Requires Improvement. Rather than stopping at the label, look inside each report for what inspectors said about people living with dementia: how staff responded to distress, whether restraint or sedation featured, how choice was offered to people who struggle to express a preference, and how families were kept involved. Check the publication date too, since an older report may describe a team that has changed completely. For the two marked down, ask what has changed and what evidence supports it.

What to watch for in person

Watch how a member of staff approaches someone who is confused or repeating a question, because that exchange reveals more than any tour. Ask what dementia training staff receive, how often it is refreshed, and what turnover has been on the unit over the past year. Look at whether the layout helps people find their way and whether there is somewhere safe to walk. Ask how agitation is handled in the late afternoon and what happens when someone becomes distressed overnight.

Choosing between dementia care homes in Solihull

Requesting an assessment

A care needs assessment records the help required day to day, and where dementia is involved it should also capture how memory loss affects daily life, what triggers distress and what settles it. It is free and open to anyone who appears to need care. A relative providing most of the care should ask for a carer assessment at the same time, which often unlocks support not otherwise offered.

How funding is decided

A financial assessment weighs income, savings and capital to establish the contribution expected and whether public money meets the balance. Property is handled differently depending on circumstances, including whether a spouse continues to live there. The adult social care team at Birmingham City Council carries out both assessments and can explain what help may apply while an application is pending.

Bringing cost into view

Ask for a written schedule separating accommodation, personal care, laundry, activities and escorted appointments, and ask specifically whether dementia support carries an additional charge.

Frequently asked questions about dementia care homes in Solihull

How many dementia care homes are there in Solihull?

Solihull has 9 CQC registered care homes that are registered for dementia care, out of 25 CQC registered care homes in Solihull: 7 Good, 2 Requires improvement. Counts come from the CQC register and are kept up to date as ratings change.

Which dementia care homes in Solihull were inspected most recently?

Birchmere Mews (30 July 2026), Willow Grange Care Home (7 October 2025) and Lyndon Croft (4 December 2024) have the most recent CQC reports.

Which providers in Solihull offer dementia care?

Nine registered residential care homes match this search, each with its own profile on this page. Their published Care Quality Commission judgements are seven Good and two Requires Improvement. Registration says nothing about current vacancies, so availability has to be confirmed with each home directly. The profiles are the quickest way to shortlist before making calls.

What should be asked when visiting a dementia care home in Solihull?

Ask what dementia training staff receive, how often it is refreshed and what the turnover has been on the unit over the past year. Watch how staff respond to someone who is confused or repeating a question, since that interaction reveals more than any tour. Ask how distress is managed, particularly in the late afternoon and overnight, and whether medication is ever used to settle behaviour. Where a home has been marked Requires Improvement, ask directly what has changed since the inspection.

What is the difference between a dementia care home and a dementia nursing home?

A dementia care home provides personal care, meaning help with washing, dressing, meals, medicines and mobility, from staff trained to support people living with dementia. A dementia nursing home offers the same alongside a registered nurse on duty, which becomes necessary where there are wounds to dress, a feeding tube, unstable diabetes or complex medication to oversee. All the providers listed here are registered as residential care homes rather than nursing homes. If nursing care is needed, the needs assessment should record that and the search should move to nursing provision.

Can Birmingham City Council fund a dementia care home placement?

It may, once both a care needs assessment and a financial assessment have been completed. The needs assessment must establish that residential care is the appropriate form of support rather than help at home. The financial assessment then considers income, savings and capital to set the contribution expected. If a council contribution is agreed, ask in writing whether a third party top up would be sought and who would be liable for it.

How is a care needs assessment arranged in Solihull?

Contact the adult social care team at Birmingham City Council and request an assessment of care and support needs. There is no charge and no means test attached to asking, so it is worth doing even where care will be funded privately. Make sure the assessment records how dementia affects daily life, what causes distress and what helps, since that shapes which homes are suitable. If the person is in hospital, the ward team can begin the process before discharge.

How early should a dementia care home search begin?

Starting before a crisis matters particularly where dementia is involved, because a sudden move is harder for someone who relies on familiar surroundings. Six to eight weeks allows room for assessments, several visits and a careful read of the inspection reports. After a hospital admission the timescale is often much shorter, and the council team is the quickest route then. Even a provisional shortlist prepared early means an urgent decision is still an informed one.
