The Oaks is a purpose-built care home (2023) offering Nursing, Nursing Dementia, Enablement and Residential Care and Support - with an Outstanding rating from CQC (January 2026).
Wi-Fi will be available throughout the property. State of the art, innovative technology will be used throughout the home enabling the people they support to live a life of meaning and purpose, whatever that means to them.
They choose their teams by assessing emotional intelligence first and attitude second. They train their people exceptionally well and their teams love their training and induction to the organisation.
They want to speak with you in person - this decision is one of the hardest ones you will ever make, so they don't expect an email or call will help you make a decision that is right for you, or the person you love.
They are happy for you to drop by at any time to meet the team (there are no specific visiting times) - if you would like them to spend time exploring your circumstances and planning next steps - do make contact with them as they will schedule time in their diaries to ensure you have the time and space needed for this important conversation.
The location is to the south of Birmingham and has easy access to the M5, M42, and M6. Longbridge Train Station is a short drive away. There is a shopping complex close by as well as entertainment facilities; lovely walks can be found at the picturesque Lickey Hills and Waseley Hills country park.

Over all time The Oaks has 56 reviews.
From start to finish everyone we met during mom's stay were caring, attentive and professional. It had been a while since the first visit to have a look around. Considering all the people they meet during their working day, we were remembered. Direct contact with Caroline was always very...
Mom was greeted with curtousy and understanding of her individual needs. She has always enjoyed partying and dancing. Rachel, one of the carers, asked her what music she liked and quickly put on some rock and roll. Mom loved this and in no time was have a gentle dance. At 98 she took it steady but loved every minute.
She also made a point of telling us that the food was really lovely. The Oaks stands out for so many reasons and when the time is right, we are sure she will be happy to meet up with the team again. Thank you to you all.
We looking forward to seeing her again.
From All the team
My wife has been in this home for nearly 2 years. The staff have always been friendly and helpful and the care and food is always excellent. The rooms are always kept clean and tidy and residents' clothes are washed and laundered regularly.

Thank you for your kind words and fantastic review.
My Dad has really settled down in this Care Home. Being in a Dementia floor with males with the same or similar level of Dementia has really settled him down. He is really looked after. The Carers are so good with him. Especially Shirley, Dylan and Januar. He gets involved with all the...
The food is so varied. He loves the food. There is always a choice of different hot food. Definitely put weight on. His room is really nice. Very spacious and comfortable. We're still able to take him out occasionally. Shirley has taken him outside for some fresh air and Dylan always rings me if there are any issues. He's not always steady on his feet these days. We're reassured with Nurses nearby,Dad is definitely in the best place as his Dementia advances.
We are so happy to read this review - it's so great to see that your Dad has settled in so well and that you can see how supported he is. We agree the team members you have mentioned are absolutely fab!!! The whole team will be thrilled to read this, thank you again! S

The Oaks solved our problems. 1) My dad's complex & progressive dementia needs and 2. My inability to cope with them at home. I am confident that he gets the best possible care, and that the staff can handle his future needs, as his condition worsens. The carers and other staff are kind & attentive. It is also good to know that qualified, experienced nurses are on hand 24/7.

My father moved into the Oaks Feb 26. The care my father received was not outstanding. His basic care needs was not met. Given wrong consistency of food so aspirated twice in their care. He was just left in bed that was too small and his legs were constantly restricted, no bedrails on his bed. Care plan was not always followed. Rude management, rude staff. My father was under nourished and dehydrated. Moved him out of there and just in 3 days in his new care home he is very alert and smiling and he sits out and is now thriving.
We are truly sorry to read this review. We understand that it has been a difficult time for you as a family, with your father having experienced a number of moves between care homes as you have sought the right support for his needs.

We are truly sorry to read this review. We understand that it has been a difficult time for you as a family, with your father having experienced a number of moves between care homes as you have sought the right support for his needs. We appreciate that making the decision to move him again will not have been easy.We are very sorry that you were unhappy with your father's time here, as this is not the experience any of us would want a family to have. There are some details within your review, including those relating to the bed and bed rails, which do not reflect our records, however this forum is not the appropriate place to discuss the individual details of your father's care needs. We are particularly saddened that you felt members of our team were rude. This is not reflective of the experience we want any family to have and we are sorry that this was your experience. We are most pleased to hear that your father is alert, smiling and doing well and we wish him and your family well.
My Dad appears settled and well cared for.
Rooms are kept tidy and clean.
Everyone makes us feel welcome, and management keep us updated with information.

As will all things in life, problems do occur but these have been dealt with expeditiously and caringly.

We as a family chose the Oaks from the reviews and location but still were worried.
But our fears were laid to rest from meeting firstly the lovely Manageress and Deputy Lianne and Jo, how loving and proud they are of the Home, then from the wonderful Rebecca on reception and Jayne at Admin not forgetting all the wonderful Team Members that were getting to know making so far my Moms stay relaxing and so enjoyable and most of all safe and looking after all her needs.
Thank you for your kind words, we are very proud of the home and all of our wonderful team members. We always stive to go above and beyond it is a comfort that we have been able to support you and your family through this very difficult time.
My mom is very settled here and seems happy. The staff are all lovely and 'go the extra mile'. There are many different activities for them to take part in and would definitely recommend to anyone.

My mum moved to The Oaks in May 2025, moving from another care home which couldn't address her dementia needs. From day one The Oaks has been a significant step up for mum in terms of the care that she receives from both nurses and carers. Due to mum's dementia she can be a challenging resident, but the nurses and carers seem to have got her 'sussed' and know how to make her time at The Oaks as good as they can. I would recommend The Oaks to anyone seeking a caring and professional home for their relative.
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful review. The team will be very happy to read this and to know the impact they are having on you and your Mam's life. Supporting people living with dementia to live well is key to our ethos and we are delighted to see that your experience has been so positive. Many thanks S
Dad has settled in very well at The Oaks. The staff are all helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. We are able to visit freely and have even had chippy tea nights with Dad and other family members. Overall we are happy that Dad is happy at The Oaks.

We're delighted that you found our home to be welcoming and comfortable. Creating a homely, safe, and happy space for people living with us is at the heart of what we do. Thank you for your lovely review.

I can't believe the difference in her since she moved in. She still has her challenges, but she says she couldn't have found a better place to be. She says how kind the staff are, and they treat her like an adult human.

Staff are very attentive, kind and always helpful and responsive in relation to my mother's needs. Nothing is too much for the staff in delivering care; they treat my mom with respect. All interactions demonstrate they understand her needs in accordance with her personal preferences. Mom has expressed many times that she is happy and feels cared for. The management team have been extremely supportive and always available to provide advice and assistance.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It is always great to know that our team demonstrate our philosophy and ethos within the home and no only the people in our care, but their loved ones too. Thank you again for a great review.

Overall, I can honestly say that I wouldn't want my Godmother to be anywhere else; The staff are welcoming, friendly, humorous and attentive with some staff highly commendable.
The patients are encouraged to socialise and to join in the activities, which are generally tailored to dementia patients, (though I have enjoyed a few myself!)
The rooms are spacious and can be made homely with personal items. Furniture can be moved for the residents' safety and personal needs. My only grievance is that the room often smells unpleasant (urine), and I have occasionally had to clean the food tray.
The food is usually of a high standard, with some yummy desserts and often alternatives offered.
When there is a full quota of staff, things run well, but there have been occasions where carers have been delayed due to shortages.
Whenever I have raised an issue, it has been dealt with in a timely and efficient manner.
Inspite of the odd niggles, I would highly recommend The Oaks.
Thank you for your feedback, we always appreciate any feedback received, as it allows us to know what we are doing well and how things can be better! We love that you feel so pleased for your Godmother to be living with us, and we have enjoyed having her here at The Oaks, too. Thank you again for your positive review.

My Dad became a resident of The Oaks in April and from my very first interaction with the staff, I had a wonderful feel for the place. I live overseas so can't visit Dad as often as I'd like, but when I have visited, Dad has been well taken care of, the facility is very clean and modern and the staff are wonderful and caring. Dad is thriving since being a resident at The Oaks, and I believe this is down to their care and attention, and him being fed regular meals with a lot of his favorite foods. The home offers lots of daily activities for residents which I follow on social media, so even though I can't be there often, I do feel connected to what is happening. And, of course, I phone regularly, and the staff are always wonderful and helpful, even running the phone up three flights of stairs so I can chat with Dad.
Wow! What a beautiful review not only for dad but towards our team and home - it has been a pleasure to heave dad living here with us and we appreciate your trust in us when you can't always visit. Thank you again for your positive feedback, we will be sure to pass this onto our team x

I'm Lianne, and I am thrilled to be part of the EQ Care Team supporting the Oaks in Rubery. I started in the care industry 25 years ago as a care assistant. Although I liked my role, I felt that I needed to progress. I gained my NVQs and worked hard to become a senior care assistant, progressing to Deputy Manager within 3 years. Now as a home manager, I love to provide the people I support with person-centred quality care and take time to understand the needs and preferences of everyone we bring into our home.
The Oaks is a brand new, innovative home offering state-of-the-art facilities, bringing person-centred dementia care to those who need us in Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
