Review from Barbara G (Resident) published on 8 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am a resident in the independent living part of this care home and have lived here for just over two years. I thoroughly enjoy living here and find the staff and carers extremely helpful and caring. Nothing is too much trouble regardless of which member of staff is approached. They are ALL very
friendly, kind and approachable. The tenants here all get along very well too.
The home itself if kept very clean and tidy - both inside and out.

Raynor House seems great so far. Our family member has only just started living there and seems to have settled in well. Staff are very kind, caring and attentive. We enjoyed a very nice afternoon at a summer BBQ event today. Nice food and a wonderful singer entertained guests and residents alike with
uplifting classics from the 50s and 60s. Staff worked hard, making sure everyone was well looked after.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We are very appreciative of your kind comments regarding the staff. They really do make a huge effort at these events to ensure the residents and relatives all have a great time.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
This home has extremely poor management. If you are able to care generally for yourself fine, but if you need help it's uncoordinated and the standard lacks consistency. Worse they hide or send emails rather than speak to family. Even when my Mom was in hospital for three weeks dying, we had only
one telephone call from a care worker none from Management despite requests. When we cleared her room out carers and a receptionist came to give their condolences - Management could not make the time or the effort to talk to us. Management hides away even when you make a complaint there is no consistency or attempt to make personal contact. As a family you are continually reminding them of things that need to be done. They did not understand that my Mum at 99 had extremely poor vision and memory. Some care and reception staff were lovely, caring, and helpful but overall management does not seem to have control or joined up systems. Mom was there for 4 years it went from good to poor.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father arrived at Rayner House almost three months ago and was immediately made to feel very welcome and cared for, with all the staff making a real effort to ensure he was comfortable in his new surroundings. He speaks highly of the food and of the attention he receives from the carers as they run
his daily routine with him. As his family, we are reassured that he's safe, being well looked after, and in our daily visits we see the degree of care and kindness shown to my father and the other residents. Having seen other care homes previously when visiting other family members, Rayner House is way above them in many ways, from its facilities, care, and most importantly, in its 'look and feel'. Very well done to all who work there.
Reply from Anita Bassett, Business Manager at Rayner House Care

What a lovely review to receive. We really appreciate you taking the time out to do this and we are so happy to hear that both yourself and your relative here are happy to be here. Our staff all work very hard in making this a safe, happy and comfortable home.

From the moment you walk through the door, you are met by very helpful friendly staff. The staff and carers are all very approachable and take time to chat with residents and visitors. The food is of very good quality with ample portions and a varied menu. The home is always clean and you regularly
see the housekeeping staff around. The hairdresser visits every week and there is a weekly activity schedule. Extremely happy with the service provided.

I would definitely recommend Raynor House Care Home. The staff are just lovely, they are very caring and professional. It is very clean, the food is really good and the chef will always provide any special requests. There are plenty of activities for those who want to take part. The care provided is
top quality. And one of the cheapest in Solihull, it is situated in a really lovely area of Solihull. My relative has been there for nearly 2 years now and i really wouldn't like her to be anywhere else.

My mother has been a resident since last year. She has experienced some real health challenges during this time including several stays in Hospital. The carers at Rayner House Care have always looked after my mother's needs with care and respect. As a family it is very reassuring for us to know that
she is being cared for but most importantly to hear my Mother say that she cannot praise the carers highly enough, she says they will do anything for you. The staff are very professional and friendly whenever we visit.

The care, love and attention my mum gets is outstanding, there never appears to be any rush to do things quickly at the expense of the right care at the right time. Crucially whilst I am away with work most days I feel reassured that she is in great hands. A big tick for not for profit organisations
running care facilities.

This care home gave my husband exceptional care. Nothing concerning him was too much trouble for the staff. The carers were kind, caring and always happy he was kept very clean and was changed every day. The care at the end of his life was excellent and they also looked after my son and myself. I would

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Couldn't say anything more positive about Rayner House - absolutely faultless in their culture that is instilled in everyone from the care home manager all the way down to the catering staff and the cleaners. The carers really and truly do care and that's the number one worry that we had when making
the difficult decision to send both of our grandparents to Rayner House. They have looked after our grandparents for nearly a decade in total and treated them with the utmost dignity and faultlessly to the inevitable end.
The facility is not the newest but that did not detract from the standard of the food or the quality of the care. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering care facilities in Solihull or the wider area. Fantastic through and through.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mom has been at Rayner House for over three years now as she had become unable to look after herself at home. When she arrived there from hospital she was unwell, lonely, unhappy and had lost all sense of purpose. The staff at Rayner House were friendly, approachable and understanding, I knew straight
away that Mom was in the right place. She settled very quickly and soon became much happier, enjoyed better health and clearly felt secure and more confident. Over time it was lovely to see how much she enjoyed being there and how she had developed some lovely relationships not only with other residents but with staff too! Mom has simply thrived there and I cannot speak highly enough of the manager and her team.
Mom has recently returned to Rayner House after being hospitalised and her needs have now significantly changed. The staff have welcomed her back and shown her the utmost care and consideration and a positive approach to her recovery.
I highly recommend Rayner House.

Mum moved to Rayner House just over two years ago. After a fall at home, she decided to try Rayner House on a respite basis. She really settled in well and after some thought, mum decided to move in permanently knowing she was safer living with 24-hour care. The staff have all helped mum feel at home
as well as promote as much independent living as is safe. There are activities to join in at the Day centre if residents so wish. Mum says “I couldn’t be anywhere better, the staff are marvellous to me”. The rooms are very clean with ensuite facilities and there is a lovely private garden to sit in. Staff are very professional and approachable at all times. They are to be commended during the pandemic for keeping their own and residents' spirits up and for protecting all residents against Covid. I would highly recommend Rayner House.

Mum (95 years old) had lived in Yew Trees for a few years, unfortunately, after a fall while shopping she became unable to look after herself properly. After a spell in hospital and three weeks in another respite home, arranged by the hospital, she was transferred to Rayner House (the first week of
lockdown). I was unsure how she would react to her feeling confined as she has always been very independent, however, I should not have worried as she has been looked after very well. The staff have taken care of her and she is now happier than I have known her to be for some time. I cannot praise the staff enough for their care and patience with Mum.

My dad has dementia. He attends the day centre twice a week, which he loves, the team are all fabulous so patient, engaging, caring and fun. Dad had a week respite at Rayner House and they were fantastic. So caring and professional. They supported dad and the family. Dad settled well and was very well
cared for. They took dad into the day centre every day for continuity. I can’t thank the staff at both centres for their support and excellent service.

My mother was admitted directly from hospital in the knowledge that she was no longer capable of living alone at home, even with a daily care package. After a few days, the staff had increased her confidence, her health improved and she quickly settled into the comfortable and safe environment, participating
in several of the activities. Within 18 months, there has been very little change of staff. The Trust Manager is to be commended. I have no hesitation in recommending Rayner House and it has been a great comfort to know that my mother is so well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was admitted from the hospital for respite care. He was dehumanised, sad and confused after that 10 days underfunded hospital experience and within a day or so at Rayner House with their care and encouragement he was unbelievably improved. He was up, washed and actually dressed from the beginning
(but not cruelly and abruptly at 5.30am) and helped down to breakfast and lunch with some other male residents who told him off if he didn't eat! The facilities were homely and safe and the staff on every level were fun but firm and like family. They all gave him just the right level of care, whilst sometimes standing back to give him confidence. Home after a week with a new lease of life and completely independent. Thank you to the Trust Manager and her team. I have no hesitation in recommending you and hope you will take up my offer to volunteer when you need help in return!

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.546)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.546) out of 10 for Rayner House Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.465 for Rayner House Care is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.465
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.081 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rayner House Care is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.581
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
