What to Know Before Choosing a Care Home in Solihull
Check the latest inspection report
In England, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) publishes inspection reports and ratings for every registered care home. In Scotland it is the Care Inspectorate, in Wales the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), and in Northern Ireland the RQIA. Always read the full report — not just the headline rating — as it may flag specific concerns about staffing, medication management, or safeguarding. Reports are available on each regulator's website and are linked from individual listings on Careformum.
Understand the true cost of care
Published weekly fees are usually a starting figure. Additional charges for hairdressing, chiropody, outings, and specialist nursing can add significantly to the monthly bill. Ask for a full written breakdown of all charges before signing any contract. If your relative may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding, request an assessment before committing — it can cover the entire cost of care in some circumstances. Local authority funding may also be available if assets are below the relevant threshold.
Visit in person before making a decision
No amount of online research replaces a visit. Arrange to go at a time when activities are taking place — not just during a formal tour. Speak to residents if possible, observe how staff interact with them, and notice whether the environment feels welcoming and clean. Ask about the staff-to-resident ratio on evenings and weekends, how the home handles residents' individual routines, and what the policy is on visitors and pets. A home that is proud of its care will answer these questions willingly.

What should I look for when visiting a care home in Solihull?
When visiting a care home in Solihull, look beyond the physical environment. Observe how staff interact with residents — do they use first names, make eye contact, and respond promptly? Check whether the home smells clean and feels warm rather than clinical. Ask about staff-to-resident ratios (especially at night and weekends) and what activities are offered day-to-day. Speak to residents or their families if possible, and ask to see the most recent CQC or Care Inspectorate report, including any action plans. A good care home will welcome your questions openly.
How does local authority funding work for care homes in Solihull?
If your assets (including property) are below £23,250 in England — thresholds differ slightly in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — your local council may contribute to care home fees following a care needs assessment and financial assessment. The council agrees a personal budget based on assessed need. If the home charges more than the council rate, a family member can pay a third-party top-up to cover the difference. Contact Solihull's local authority adult social care team to start the assessment process. NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding may also cover the full cost of care for those with a primary health need — ask your GP or hospital discharge team for a referral.
