  • Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home, Solihull
Blythe Rose is a luxury new 80-bed care home at Blythe Valley, designed and built to provide the very best dementia, advanced dementia and dementia nursing support across the region.

Design is guided by the award-winning charity, Hammond Care and the renowned Dementia Services Development Centre in Stirling, to create the best possible environment for those requiring professional memory care.

Featuring innovative lodges which house no more than 15, residents will receive quality, personalised care according to clinical need within an environment created to help individuals retain a sense of identity and autonomy.

Thoughtfully-designed communal areas include a 'high street' with its own shop, hairdresser, cinema and terrace café, even a 1960s style suite where families can spend time together with a loved one amidst familiar surroundings of days gone by.

Similarly, for residents who require nursing and residential care - respite or longer term, as a comfortable home for life - lodge communities offer close-knit and supportive communities, with a relaxed, family feel.

State-of-the-art Integrated technology is used unobtrusively throughout the home, so that everyone regardless of their specialist memory care, nursing or residential needs can be kept safe and well, whilst enjoying life.

With 122 acres as its backdrop and featuring landscaped gardens, residents and visitors can enjoy the ever-calming and restorative effects of green space and nature.

Review from Bernadette R (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum spent 8 months at Blythe' Rose and we were extremely happy with the care that she received. The staff clearly knew how to handle her challenging form of dementia and we could sleep easy at night knowing that she was properly cared for when we could no longer manage her at home. The facilities are
state-of-the-art with a high staff-to-resident ratio, so much so that we always referred to it as the Rolls Royce of dementia care. Once again, a heartfelt thanks to all at Blythe.
Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home

Dear Bernadette,Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We're truly honoured that you entrusted us with your mum's care during such an important time.It means a great deal to the entire team to hear that you felt confident and at ease knowing she was safe, supported, and well cared for. We understand how challenging dementia can be for families, and we're glad we could offer you both reassurance and peace of mind.Your description of Blythe Rose as the "Rolls Royce of dementia care" brought a smile to our faces - it's feedback like this that reminds us why we do what we do.On behalf of everyone here, thank you again for your heartfelt message. It was a privilege to care for your mum.Kind RegardsSammy

Reception is very welcoming + loved the new dog station which my dog used. My dad has now been moved to the 1st floor from 2nd which is much better as more space. Dad was comfortable + his main carer was welcoming and chatted to us to give us an update on how he had been. Dad was facing the window which
he enjoys + his new chair is better as more support. Floor was wet on arrival by Dad but he had thrown his drink but it was been cleaned up. Very warm, would be good to have some windows open as it was a warm day outside

Thank you so much for your lovely review! we will be sure to pass this on to the team. we are glad that the dog station has been warmly welcomed, apologies if the room was too warm and windows were closed please inform a team member if this is the case again and they will happily sort this out for you. it is a pleasure to have dad with us!

Care home under staffed. Lot of agency staff who don't seem overly caring. Full time staff overworked but are brilliant with the residents. Activities for residents are not tailored to individual as 'sold' on enquiring about the home, which is disappointing. However, the home is a lovely environment,
food is plentiful and seems good quality. Reception, admin and home manager friendly and pleased to help/

My Mom has been a resident at Blythe Rose since June 2024. I am eternally grateful for the care and support that all of the staff members provide to Mom, the other residents, our family and friends. As a healthcare professional myself I have high expectations of good care. In my opinion Blythe Rose
Care Home exceeds this, their care is exceptional. They promote a quality of life no matter how difficult the circumstances are. The Home has demonstrated that dementia doesn't define you. They strive to provide personalised care that is resident centered. Since being a resident at Blythe my Moms personality has flourished. She is so happy and content. The communication from the home is excellent they have always kept me well informed. The multi-professional team caring for my Mom are incredible. Thank you for helping our family throughout this journey. It has not gone unnoticed and we really do appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. It has been so lovely getting to know your mum and your family since June!

Thank you once again. Kind Regards.

My father was a resident from January 2024 until he passed away in October 2024. Dad settled well and was happy here. During the last week of his life, myself and several family members stayed with dad. The care and compassion showed to dad and us as a family was exceptional. The manager and the whole
team respected our wishes and couldn't have done more. It is a comfort to know that dad was so well cared for in the final months of his life.

Review from Gail D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 29 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law never had the opportunity to experience a long-term stay at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home as he transferred from a previous home in North Birmingham where his health had rapidly deteriorated with regards to his vascular dementia and Alzheimer's condition. Had he been a resident
at Blythe Rose from the outset, I am convinced he would have lasted much longer.
The manager and his team are exceptional. The home itself is absolutely fabulous, spacious, tastefully decorated in soothing, calm colours. Plenty of room to wander safely. Great outdoor space and not at all like you would imagine a nursing home.
More importantly, is the level of care they offer and their commitment to ensuring all their residents are treated with dignity, kindness and loving support. The team of carers and nurses who cared for my father-in-law up to his passing were phenomenal. Their compassion and kindness, their communication and sensitivity to the situation with us, as the family, were quite incredible.
Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home

Hi Gail, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is very much appreciated. We hope you and your family are keeping well. It was a pleasure to meet and care for your father-in-law and we are extremely happy to hear that you feel he was at his most comfortable when he came to Blythe Rose. We have passed your kind words on to the whole team and in particular, the carers and nurses on his lodge. It was lovely to have met you all and if there is anything we can do to support in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

My father arrived at Blythe Rose from the hospital in 2023. I can not express how amazing Blythe Rose has been. The settling-in process was extremely well executed, and my dad settled very quickly. The activities have been fun and variable, and the food is excellent. The care the staff show to both
its residents and my mother has been far and away the most impressive feature of the home. They have looked after Dad well and also Mum with kindness, sensitivity and respect. I really appreciate all they do and honestly can not think of anywhere being better for both Dad and Mum.

I have found Blythe Rose Care Home to be the perfect home from home for my mother, who has had some weeks of respite care there. The staff have been professional, empathetic, caring and compassionate, observing regularly and meeting Mum’s needs well with regard to her medication and interests.
While
she has been there, the communication between the care home and myself has been exceptional, nothing has been too much trouble and the staff make it a priority to get to know Mum well, as well as my sister and I.
Knowing the level of care has been so good, it has made the possible decision in the future to make this a more permanent arrangement less daunting, where I feel the relationship with Mum has now returned to being mother and daughters rather than mother and carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am really impressed with the professionalism and wrap around care and support provided by the team at Blythe Rose. All the staff team from reception, administrative support, homemakers, lodge leaders, nursing, operational and management show a very warm and responsive approach to their residents and
their families.
I live outside the UK but am keen to support my sister and keep in touch with her as much as is possible at this stage of her illness. I have appreciated the many ways in which Blythe Rose has facilitated this. Examples of this would be the meetings for relatives hosted on the web, a regular newsletter and postings on social media that capture special moments of activities/outings for residents.
I have also received great help in having one to one chats with my sister and in sending her newsletters from family overseas.
I believe that the Blythe Rose team provide outstanding care in the meeting the needs of people living with dementia.

This is Dad’s second care home and having had a poor experience previously, it was such a relief to find a ‘home from home’ place. Staff are caring, respectful and so very patient with him.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.773)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.773) out of 10 for Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.773 for Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 207 Ratings = 4.773
  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 Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home is based on 18 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 18 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.

Barry Flanagan

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

My name is Barry Flanagan and I am proud to be the manager at Blythe Rose Dementia Care home.


I began working in the care industry during the 1980s and qualified as a nurse in 1991, subsequently working for the NHS and in both the private and voluntary sectors.


Over the past thirty years, I have primarily worked with residents who can present with challenges and in the last 12 years, dedicated my energy and experience to developing specialist care for adults with dementia or mental health conditions.


I am a qualified trainer and while always keen to develop my own knowledge and skills, also enjoy sharing my experiences and supporting and encouraging the people around me to meet their full potential.


My ambition for Blythe Rose Dementia Care is to make a real difference in the lives of the residents under my team’s care and empower them to maintain their identity, character and choices.


With strong values, passion and innovation at its heart, the home will truly be a centre of excellence – contributing to ongoing development, research and best care practices for people living with dementia, mental health and cognitive impairment.


Outside of work, I have a happy family life and enjoy many hobbies including football, reading and history.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2024

My name is Raj and I started my journey in health & social care as a part-time care assistant whilst pursuing a Masters degree in Management at the University of Warwick. I have amassed over 18 years of management experience in a wide array of Health & Social Care settings. Driven by continual learning, I have added to my qualifications along the way, notably gaining a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care and a Higher-Level Apprenticeship in General Adult Social Care & QMS ISO 9001:2015 Lead Auditor.


As Deputy Manager at Blythe Rose Dementia Care, my goal is to achieve an OUTSTANDING quality rating and help lead a specialist service in the treatment and care of individuals with dementia and mental health disorders and associated behaviour difficulties, by creating a ‘happy and happening’ home. A home where both residents and staff are ‘happy’ to be there; and ‘happening’ through its culture of constant innovation and improvements. These are holistic in approach, ranging from purposeful activities, a stimulating environment, technology advancements for the benefit of the home and continual learning and skills development for staff.


In my free time, I play cricket in the Sunday Arden League, Warwickshire County Division 3 and organise social events for a cricket club community. I also enjoy playing badminton, socialising, and travel.
