Review from David B (Son of Resident) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother is a resident and my Father was briefly there for 'end of life' palliative care.
The home and staff are simply wonderful. Mum has early-stage dementia and her condition presents challenges. The friendly staff have always treated her with great respect and dignity and the management/nursing
teams are always seeking to make Mum's time there as comfortable and interesting as possible.
We could not have wished for a better place for my Dad to pass away. The care and compassion shown to my Father as he gradually slipped away was truly outstanding and of great comfort to us as a family at a very difficult time.
On a practical level the food, restaurant and entertainment are brilliant, the home and Mum's room are always very clean and the laundry service is very efficient. I am confident this home sets the bar for exceptional care - well done team Royal Star and Garter!
Reply from Katie McCauley, Regsitered home manager at Royal Star & Garter - SolihullThank you so much for taking the time to share your kind and thoughtful feedback. It truly means a great deal to all of us.
We are honoured that you entrusted us with the care of both your parents. Knowing that your mother feels respected, supported and comfortable, and that our team has been able to respond sensitively to her needs, is incredibly important to us.
We are also deeply touched by your words regarding your father's end-of-life care.

The care here is consistently fabulous. My father has severe Alzheimer's been here for just short of 2 years and throughout he has been lovingly cared for - and we also feel supported and cared for when we find it tough. Dad has been settled and content from very early on and his challenges are managed
intelligently, thoughtfully and reflect his changing condition.
The events are varied and inclusive and residents are included and it is evident that the who team at the home understand and believe in the idea of residents doing as much as they are able as long as they are able. Dignity and respect are key too.

My dad has now been living at the Royal Star and Garter for a year and is finding it a wonderful home. The friendly staff very much treat the residents with respect and as individuals, helping my dad develop physically, emotionally and socially. Just as importantly, he considers it his home and feels
safe and happy. There are frequent trips out, the food is lovely and they offer a wide range of activities if he wishes to participate. It is a happy and friendly home where the care is wonderful. It gives one hope for the future..

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother went into residential care some 18 months ago. She settled very quickly thanks to the wonderful staff team on her wing in Roundel. She has dementia so is unable to ask specifically for anything. The staff soon got to know her well and regularly checked with us regarding her usual routine,
likes and dislikes. She always looks lovely, her appearance was always very important to her and she was always well dressed. The staff have maintained her very high standards and always set her hair and apply her makeup beautifully. She regularly has her nails painted too. Mum always has a smile for the staff who make her feel special. She eats well and the staff take care to show the residents the meals available allowing them to visually make their choice and mix and match according to their preferences. Regular outings are arranged and an excellent well being and entertainment programme is provided. The standard of cleanliness, food and care is second to none.
Reply from Katie McCauley, Regsitered home manager at Royal Star & Garter - SolihullThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that your mother settled in quickly and that our team on Roundel has been able to provide the care and attention that means so much to her and your family.
Maintaining personal preferences and dignity is at the heart of what we do, so it's wonderful to know that her appearance, routines, and wellbeing have been cared for in a way that reflects her high standards. The team will be thrilled to hear your kind words about their efforts with her hair, makeup, and nails, as well as the personalised approach to meals and activities.
We are proud of the vibrant wellbeing programme and the outings we arrange, and it's lovely to know these have contributed to her happiness. Your comments about the cleanliness, food, and overall standard of care are truly appreciated and will be shared with the whole team-they work hard every day to make our home a special place.

Our mom has lived at the Royal Star & Garter since May 2024. All the staff take such great care of her needs, she goes out on trips, they do lovely meals, and they even gave her a separate table so she can eat her meals alone. We booked a private lunch for her 90th birthday, everything was laid out
beautifully & the food was excellent. She was chosen to attend the 80th Anniversary VE Day in May & meet the King and Queen. It truly is a wonderful place and so much better than our Mom living alone and sad.

a warm and caring environment. Clients have praised the facilities and there staff for there client centered approach and ability to provide care, comfort and peace of mind. The staff have always been friendly, helpful and compassionate. The food is brilliant and the variety is very good. The home is very clean and spacious.

My Mother moved into RS&G Solihull in early 2024, during her time here I have been delighted with the care she has received. I have observed the kindness and commitment of the various staff members who have looked after her; They know and treat her as a valuable individual, they all know what she needs
and deal with her cheerfully and professionally. She does physio, exercises, and movement to music classes, so gets stimulation and support. The food is very good, the room ad corridors are very clean. The home is expensive, but management was able to apply for and obtain available government support. Overall I could not be happier.

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Katie McCauley

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

I qualified as an adult nurse in 2013 and specialised in Cardiology and High Dependency care at Solihull Hospital. I then went on to manage a local care home for three years before I had the pleasure of joining Star & Garter – Solihull, in June 2024.


I am extremely passionate about leading the team to provide gold-standard care for our residents, enabling them to provide person-centred, individualised care. I have a special interest in diversity and inclusion and keep up to date with the most recent research to support both the residents and staff. I have an excellent relationship with the local community, including adult health and social care, churches and schools to widen the access to and delivery of multiple well-being activities for the Home.
