About The Hollies

The Hollies is a residential care home in Birmingham. We support older people who need help with daily life and adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people with mental health needs. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a short while. Supporting people with quite different needs under one roof works only if you plan around each person, so that is what we do. Everyone has their own plan, agreed with them and with anyone they want involved, covering not just the help they need but how they want their days to go. An older resident who wants a settled routine and a younger adult who is out at college most of the week both live here on their own terms. The basics apply to everybody. People choose when to get up, what to eat and how much company they want. Privacy is respected and personal care is given quietly and without fuss. Rooms are furnished with people's own belongings. Our team stays as settled as we can manage, because knowing somebody properly is what lets you notice an early change and understand what lies behind distress rather than simply managing it. Health needs are dealt with alongside local GPs and community teams, and families are told promptly when anything changes. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. Please come and look round.
