Selly Wood House Nursing Home

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.

The issue will be referred to the Care Commission.
