About The Leys Residential Home
The Leys Residential Home cares for older people in Birmingham, providing residential care for those who can no longer manage safely on their own. We support people living with dementia, people with mental health needs and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Respite matters more than people expect. A planned fortnight with us can be what allows a husband, wife or daughter to keep going as a carer for another year, and for the person staying it can be a welcome change of company and routine. Our approach is not complicated. We find out how somebody has always lived, what they can still do for themselves, what they are anxious about and what they would like from a day, and we build their support around that. Personal care is given without fuss and with privacy. Medication and health appointments are looked after properly. Beyond that, we try to make sure people have decent food, real company, something to look forward to and somewhere comfortable to be. Relatives are welcome at any reasonable hour and we keep them informed rather than waiting to be chased. If a person becomes unwell or unsettled, the family hears from us promptly. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking at homes in this part of Birmingham, please come and see us, meet the staff and ask whatever you need to ask.
