About Tanworth Court

Here at Tanworth Court, we provide nursing home care for people living in Solihull and the surrounding area. Our team supports a wide range of individuals, including older adults, people living with dementia, those with mental health needs, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also welcome younger adults who require a level of care that cannot easily be met in other settings. We know that moving into a nursing home is a significant step, both for the person coming to live with us and for those who care about them. We try to make that transition as straightforward and as comfortable as possible by taking the time to understand each person properly before, during, and after they arrive. Care plans are built around the individual, not the other way around. Our nursing team is on hand around the clock, providing clinical oversight and hands on support for residents with complex health needs. Dementia care is an area we give particular attention to, and we work hard to create an environment that feels calm, familiar, and safe for people who may find the world a confusing or anxious place. We were assessed by the Care Quality Commission and received an overall rating of requires improvement. We take that finding seriously and have been working through the areas identified, making practical changes that we believe are already making a difference to the lives of our residents. We are open about where we stand and are committed to moving forward in a way that residents and families can see and feel. If you would like to find out more about whether Tanworth Court might be the right fit for yourself or someone you love, please do get in touch. We are always happy to have a conversation or arrange a visit.
