Local knowledge across Solihull

Solihull is a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, sitting to the south east of Birmingham with a mix of leafy suburbs, historic villages and newer estates. Care needs vary from one neighbourhood to the next, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. We help people in Shirley, Olton, Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common, Castle Bromwich, Marston Green and Chelmsley Wood, as well as the town centre around Touchwood and the medieval St Alphege Church. The borough is covered mainly by the B90, B91, B92, B93 and B94 postcodes, stretching out towards the B37 area at Chelmsley Wood and the National Exhibition Centre near Bickenhill.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Solihull Hospital on Lode Lane in the B91 area, part of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, which also runs Heartlands Hospital nearby. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams, including the Solihull community services that visit people in their own homes.

Adult social care in the borough is overseen by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
