About Highcroft House
Highcroft House is a residential care home in Four Oaks, Birmingham, supporting a wide mix of adults. Some of the people who live here are older, including those living with dementia. Others are younger adults, people with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions or people with physical disabilities. A mix like that only works if support is genuinely built around each person, so that is how we plan it. Somebody who wants a quiet and predictable life gets one. Somebody who wants to be out, busy and involved gets support that makes it possible rather than support that gets in the way. For people living with dementia, familiarity carries most of the weight. Consistent faces, a steady shape to the day, and staff who do not rush or correct. For autistic people, the environment matters as much as the care plan, and we treat noise, lighting and changes of routine as things to be planned for rather than explained away. Respite stays are available too, giving a family carer a genuine break with proper support in place. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit if you are considering the home. We will show you round and answer straight questions straight.
