I am happy for my best friend to be at Selly Wood House. The care is excellent, and all the staff are very kind and helpful.
Excellent service, with professional, caring staff and management that is there for you when you need them. We, as a family, are happy to have our mom in this home, knowing that she is being looked after.
My husband is receiving excellent care/nursing, above my expectations. He is treated with dignity, respect and understanding. From my point of view (I'm extremely fussy), my husband is receiving a positive experience from the care/nursing staff. The manager is very supportive of myself and my husband; the admin staff are also very supportive. There is a lovely, warm, friendly and loving atmosphere in the home that has become my husband's home. He is now laughing and happy in this lovely environment.
My father spent the final six weeks of his life at Selly Wood House receiving end of life care. Despite the considerable pressures of delivering nursing home care with the Covid-19 pandemic and widespread staff shortages, the care he received was excellent. Staff were very caring and respectful, paid great attention to small details that mattered to him, and very much related to him and cared for him as a person despite the advanced stage of his illness. My mother, visiting daily, and I also found the staff warm, welcoming and supportive. The facilities are not glamorous, but the environment is very clean and cheerful. This is a nursing home where they pay great attention to the things that really matter and where the staff really give of themselves to do their work well - we are very grateful to them and can warmly recommend Selly Wood House.
My husband and I moved my father-in-law into Selly Wood House for the last few weeks of his life. The care he received was wonderful. The staff were very respectful to a very proud elderly gentleman and looked after him during his last few weeks with loving care. My mother lived at Selly Wood House for almost 11 years and loved and thrived in the family-like atmosphere which the experienced, professional and mostly long-serving nurses and carers generated. Having researched nursing homes for several of our family members, we believe Selly Wood to be the best in the Midlands and recommend it without any reservations.
Thank you, Diane. It was a pleasure and honour to care for your family. Our main aim is to always provide care and support in a loving, supportive and respectful environment and I'm glad we achieved that for you and your family.
We found that extremely disappointing: there was no material difference between his condition in December 2018 and when he was ready for discharge in October 2019.
The issue will be referred to the Care Commission.
Thank you for your feedback. We always act in the best interests of the resident, and as care providers, we have a duty of care to acknowledge when we are unable to meet the needs of an individual, we would be doing a disservice if we did not. We also understand that any decision resulting in a...

Hello, I’m Hina, the Deputy Manager at Selly Wood House with over 10 years of nursing experience. I believe it’s the small things that make the biggest difference, and I’m always there when support or a laugh is needed, whether for residents, families, or colleagues, helping to create a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.

Hi, I’m Mal. I’m the Home Administrator at Sellywood House. I’ve worked in care for a couple of years and really enjoy getting to know our residents and helping to organise activities they can enjoy.
You’ll usually find me in the office, but please feel free to pop in for a chat or if there’s anything I can help with.

My name is Lisa, and I started at Sellywood in June 1984 as a part-time worker. I never imagined back then that it would become such a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve worked in all departments, but my heart has always been in care, where I spent 30 years supporting residents.
One of the things I’ve loved most is working with so many wonderful people and helping to train others as they grow into their roles. It’s been a real privilege to be part of their journeys.
Now, I work in wellbeing and activities, and I truly love what I do. I enjoy bringing a bit of joy into each day, whether that’s through activities, a chat, or simply being there for someone. Building relationships with residents and their families means so much to me, and seeing a smile on someone’s face really does make my day.
Sellywood has been more than just a workplace to me—it’s been like a second home.
