  • Chelmunds Court, Birmingham
Chelmunds Court has a high quality, innovative residential care and nursing home design, specially developed to provide expert care, in a safe and stimulating environment, for up to 73 older people.

Residents can enjoy mobilising around the curved corridors of the building’s quadrangle shape, which internally houses a safe, courtyard garden.

A central, dementia-friendly café has been designed as an environment to stimulate past memories, where residents can bring friends and relatives away from their natural residence. Lounges and dining rooms are stocked with baked goods and coffee and tea facilities and act as activity and entertainment areas too.

A corner activity room, complete with a low-level kitchen for group baking ease, has an external door positioned close to the Community Centre, to encourage community integration ease, including building beneficial intergenerational relationships.

Chelmunds Court is a 73 bed residential home offering compassionate, professional care for older people, especially those who are living with dementia, both residential and nursing. Centrally located in the Chelmsley Cross area of North Solihull this purpose-built care home is an integral part of one of the UK's largest-ever regeneration programmes.

Being a specialist provider of dementia care the Chelmunds Court team are well-placed to provide the 24-hour support, assistance and expert nursing required for all their residents.

The surrounding area has been extensively remodelled to provide state of the art leisure, healthcare, residential and community facilities, including new schools and green areas.

Chelmunds Court in Chelmsley Wood benefits greatly from being at the heart of such an important new social project and a new community has been created which residents are a proud part of.

Review from G M (Cousin of Resident) published on 4 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My cousin is very happy at Chelmunds Court and we always feel welcomed by staff when we visit. The home is well organised and clean and his ensuite bedroom is very pleasant and of a good size. As we live over three hours drive away we don't visit every week, however, on all our visits we have been impressed
by the calm and caring atmosphere and also by the expertise of the staff caring for people with dementia and mobility problems. The food is appetising and well presented and between meals residents are encouraged to drink tea, juice or milk. The managers are always available to talk to us & the carer in charge of medication always rings me when there is a change so I feel involved. I have not rated activities as I have not been often enough to comment.

I have been a nurse for over 35 years and I have never been in a care home that I would be happy to go in myself. The staff are amazing, they make all the residents and their family feel like its their home. They treat everyone with the upmost respect and dignity and go the extra mile to make things
as comfortable as they can. Their end of life care is exemplary and the best I have ever come across in a care home.

Making the decision to admit Mom into a care home wasn't very easy on my dad and I ...but... The welcome Mom and we received was beautiful from all of the staff and the residents. It took away all of the anxiety & worry & Mom settled in straight away.
She loves the home & loves her room. She has been
out in the gardens & courtyard as well as in the communal areas & feels so at home. Cannot thank you all enough for giving Mom another 'home' to enjoy for the next years of her life. It means so much to us.

Mom was a resident. You hear such bad things about care names in the press but I can honestly say they care my mom had was excellent. The staff were caring also the nurses. Always a smile as I entered in home. My mom was comfortable with the staff and made her life caring and compassionate. Excellent
service even aftercare when my mom passed.

Mom was admitted to Chalmunds Court in March 2023. Since her admission mom and her family have received excellent care. Mom loved the nurses, carers, cleaning staff and kitchen, they all treated mom with thoughtfulness and dignity. Unfortunately, mom became ill and the last weeks of her life was difficult.
I cannot praise the staff enough for the extra care mom was shown together with her family. I cannot recommend Chelmunds Court enough, they are all excellent. The rooms are clean and pleasantly decorated. Some excellent activities provided.

It was our pleasure caring for your mum. She is quite a character and she will be missed by our team.

Dad has been at Chelmunds for 12 months now. He is happy and relaxed in his new home. The personal care he has received has been good and changed with his needs. He enjoys the food. The activities put on by the well-being team are excellent. It has been good to join in with some of the activities both
at the home and on trips out. Staff are approachable and understanding and keep us well informed.
Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.769) out of 10 for Chelmunds Court 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 4.769 for Chelmunds Court is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.769
  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 Chelmunds Court 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, 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.
