About Willow House

Willow House is a nursing home in Edgbaston, caring for adults whose needs bring nursing together with learning disability or mental health support. We look after older people and younger adults alike, and we offer respite stays where we can do so well. People often come to us because other places could manage part of what they needed but not all of it. A person may have a learning disability and a long term health condition, or live with serious mental ill health alongside physical frailty. Splitting that between different teams rarely works. Here, registered nurses are on duty at every hour and the wider staff group is experienced in supporting autistic adults and people with learning disabilities, so the whole picture sits with one team. We move slowly at the start. Visits before any decision, honest information both ways, and a proper handover from the people who know someone best. A move made in a hurry can undo years of progress. After that, the aim is an ordinary life with the right support attached. Going out, keeping up with family, making choices that are genuinely the person's own, and being helped rather than managed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Edgbaston is easy to reach from across Birmingham, so if you are looking for a placement, ring us and we will tell you frankly whether we are right for the person you are asking about.
