Older People's Services

We run a care home for older people in Balsall Heath, Birmingham.  The home is culturally-dedicated – that is, it is particularly sensitive to the culture and background to particular ethnic group, in this case older people with an African Caribbean heritage.  For example, the menus, leisure and social activities all reflect this background. 

The service is not a traditional old people’s home.  It was established after consultation with our older African Caribbean tenants, service users and through face-to-face surveys with local African Caribbean people, community groups and churches.  Its unique design has 20 self contained flats suitable for wheelchair users, with intensive staff available 24 hours a day. 

Staff are involved with all aspects of care including personal hygiene, help with dressings, administration of medicines and mobility, cleaning, preparing and serving meals.  Even with this intensive support, we make sure that we have time to talk and listen to our residents.

We also have a respite facility, which offers a temporary home from home for someone while their main carer takes a short break.
