Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a long-standing friend of one of the residents, I have regularly visited her in the Royal Star and Garter Homes. I am always pleased by the quality of care offered to the residents at every stage of their stay, the friendliness of the staff, welcoming of visitors and the many varied activities offered.
The rooms are well equipped and comfortable and opportunities sought to expand the facilities in a very tasteful way.

My mom spent a week at The Royal Star & Garter for respite. This was the third care home we have tried in three years in order for us to have a break and were close to giving up until we found this wonderful place.
A care home with lovely caring staff, too many for me to name individually. I finally
feel I can have a break and know my mom will be safe and well cared for. Thank you to everyone, you all do your profession proud.

My father is a Daycare user and we couldn’t be more pleased with the home. He really looks forward to his Thursday slot. The staff are so welcoming and attentive to his needs. There are lots of activities and day trips to enjoy which keeps his mind active. The dining room is set out like a restaurant
and the meals are lovely. I always worried about the possibility of him going into a home as a permanent resident but after seeing The Royal Star and Garter Solihull I would have no hesitation as it is a wonderful caring place and the staff do everything they can to make it a big happy family environment.

Total nursing and service care for my father is exceptional and without a doubt has extended his life. He has bonded well with many of the volunteers and staff who enjoy his company as much as he does theirs. They engage well with him and he responds accordingly.

The home is a home in every sense. The residents are treated with the utmost respect. Everyone from the cleaning staff to the senior nurses is forever cheerful and welcoming. The other day a resident was sitting on his own and at least 3 members of staff who could have walked by stopped and spoke to
him. My mother is in the best place.

My mother (who is the oldest resident at the home) came to Star and Garter when she was '95'. The family were delighted with the choice of home for her and she settled very well. The care is exemplary, the staff very thoughtful in their caring and every aspect of her life there is commendable. She's
now '101'!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot imagine a safer, more caring and happy environment for my mother after a prolonged hospital stay prevented her returning to her own home. Beyond the first class medical and dietary provision, together with excellent and extremely well-maintained facilities, the wellbeing of the residents is
clearly foremost in the minds of all staff - in whichever part of the home they are working. Within her wing, Mum is directly looked after by a consistent team of care assistants and other staff who have got to know her well. They are always cheerful, kind and understanding and always go the extra mile to keep her contented. After a visit, I leave feeling she is in the best of hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Before coming to Royal Star and Garter Mum had spent 3 months in hospital and 4 months in a residential home. When Mum arrived at the Royal Star and Garter is was the first time our family could relax and not worry about her. We know all her needs are met and with genuine care and concern and that she
is safe. All the activities and fun created in the home is outstanding and the care to detail and getting the residents involved is overwhelming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This home is the second I have lived in and by far the best. The home is open to military personnel and their spouses so there is good community spirit.
We have regular outings in the wheelchair, accessible charity owned bus. My favourites being shopping trips, meals out and theatre trips which sometimes
my family accompany me on. We have monthly residents meetings to air our views to the team and get the lowdown on upcoming events. Our rooms are comfortable with hoist track from the bedroom to bathroom and staff always knock before entering. The carers get to know us and our interests. I love chatting to them and during crosswords. They are like my extended family.

Staff were extremely welcoming of Mum and ourselves. Both day and night staff were skilful and kind to a very high degree.
Nursing staff were particularly thoughtful regarding Mum's individual needs and maintained a happy and positive atmosphere.
The standard of the living environment inside and outside
was extremely high.
We are very grateful and cannot speak highly enough of the care that was extended to both Mum and ourselves as a family.

I looked at many homes until I found The Royal Star & Garter Home. It is by far better than any others I looked at.
From the facilities, activities to the amazing staff - The Royal Star & Garter exceeded our expectations.
My father has been there 18 months mow and is extremely well cared for.
The
staff are wonderful and so kind and caring.
My father moved to the dementia wing a few months ago as his dementia progressed.
It is comforting knowing he didn't have to move homes and that the dementia team are so well trained.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Royal Star & Garter - Solihull is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.817 for Royal Star & Garter - Solihull is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.817
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Royal Star & Garter - Solihull is based on 22 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 22 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.
