About Green Lanes
We at Green Lanes are proud to offer a welcoming residential care home in Sutton Coldfield, providing specialist support for adults living with learning disabilities and autism. Nestled within the wider Birmingham community in the West Midlands, our home is designed to feel just that: a home, where every resident is valued as an individual and encouraged to live life on their own terms. Our setting in Sutton Coldfield places us within easy reach of local amenities, green spaces, and community life, allowing residents to remain connected to the neighbourhood whilst enjoying the comfort and security of a supportive environment. The home has been thoughtfully arranged to create a calm, homely atmosphere, with communal areas that invite friendship and quiet spaces where residents can relax, pursue hobbies, or spend time with visiting loved ones. Our care is centred on adults with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults who benefit from a tailored approach that respects their aspirations, personalities, and preferences. We understand that no two people are the same, and our team works closely with each resident to build a support plan that reflects their goals, communication style, routines, and interests. For families, this means the reassurance of knowing that a loved one is being supported by people who take the time to truly understand them. Alongside long term residential care, we also offer respite care, providing short stays that can give family carers a well earned break whilst ensuring their loved one continues to receive attentive, compassionate support. Respite can also be a valuable opportunity for individuals to experience life at Green Lanes, meet others, and enjoy a change of scene in a safe, familiar setting. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our overall Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, with Good ratings achieved across all five key areas: safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well led. For families, this independent recognition offers meaningful reassurance that the care provided here meets the standards that matter most, from the warmth of everyday interactions to the way the home is managed and led. Choosing a care home for someone you love is a deeply personal decision, and we understand the questions and emotions that come with it. At Green Lanes, we are here to listen, to answer your questions honestly, and to help you explore whether our home is the right fit for your family member. We warmly invite you to get in touch or arrange a visit, so you can meet our team, see our environment for yourself, and begin a conversation about the future with confidence.
