- Care Home
We are a residential care home in Lichfield supporting adults with a wide range of needs. The people who live here include older people, younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with loss of sight or hearing. Supporting that range means paying attention to individuals rather than to categories. Some of the people here need a good deal of help with personal care, medication and moving about. Others need much less of that and a great deal more support with everything else: keeping to arrangements, managing money, getting out, handling the things that cause anxiety and having staff who know when to step in and when to leave well alone. So we start from what somebody wants their life to look like. People keep their own rooms and belongings, have a real say in how the house runs and choose how much they join in. Where somebody is living with dementia we spend time learning their history and habits. Where consistency matters, as it often does for autistic people, we keep staffing as settled as we can. Respite stays are available as well as longer places. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and visit and ask us whatever you need to.

Stowe Mount Care Home is a residential care home in Lichfield. We support older people and younger adults who need help with daily living, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, and those with a visual or hearing impairment. We try to keep life here recognisable. People arrive with decades of habit behind them, and there is rarely a good reason to change any of it, so we ask about routines, preferences and the things somebody would rather do without help, and then we build the day around those answers. Meals, sleep and quiet time belong to the person, not to a rota. Where somebody is living with dementia, familiarity does much of the work. Consistent staff, a calm pace and time to finish a thought all help, and we ask families to tell us about a person's history so that we can pick up conversations that mean something. For people with sensory or physical needs we look at the practical detail, how somebody prefers to be approached, what makes moving about easier and what makes it harder, and we keep checking that what we agreed still fits. We also offer respite and short stays. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We would rather you formed your own view, so please visit us at a time that suits you and ask us anything.

- Care Home
Stowe Mount Care Home is a residential care home in Lichfield, supporting older people and younger adults from across Staffordshire, including people living with dementia and people who have a physical disability. We think of ourselves as part of the city rather than a building set apart from it. People who move in have usually lived locally for years, and keeping those threads intact matters more than most brochures admit: the same newspaper, the same church, visitors who can walk round rather than make an expedition of it. The daily work is practical. Personal care given calmly and in private. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here and served at a table. Warm rooms that look like they belong to the person in them. Staff awake at night. Beyond that we try to leave as much as possible in people's own hands, because choosing when to get up, what to wear and how to spend an afternoon is no small matter when a great deal else has been taken away. For residents with a physical disability, accessible bathrooms, the right equipment and staff who know each person's preferred way of being helped to move keep daily life from shrinking. With dementia we work on familiarity and calm rather than correction, and relatives usually hold the detail that unlocks a difficult hour. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. The most useful thing you can do is turn up, have a cup of tea and talk to the people who live here.

The Spires is a residential care home in Lichfield. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays. Our everyday work is the ordinary business of a household run well. Help with washing, dressing and moving about, given at the person's own pace and as privately as possible. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here with real choice. Rooms that people make their own with their own furniture and pictures. Company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We did not dispute the findings. Since then we have strengthened staffing and supervision, tightened how we manage medicines and the records we keep, and had senior staff check the care actually being given rather than the care described on paper. That work is continuing and we are not going to claim it is finished. We would far rather raise this ourselves and answer questions about it honestly than leave a family to discover it later, and we are happy to go through the detail with anyone who asks. Anyone considering the home is welcome to visit, see how things are now, talk to the people who live here, and ask us anything at all, including the questions people are often too polite to put first.

Here at Bowbrook, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Lichfield, Staffordshire. We are a care home that supports a wide range of individuals, including older people, those living with dementia, people with mental health needs, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also welcome younger adults and offer respite care for those who need a short term stay. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our approach is straightforward: we get to know each person as an individual, understand what matters to them in their daily life, and do our best to make Bowbrook feel like a genuine home rather than just a place to stay. Life here is built around the people who live with us. We work hard to maintain independence where possible, encourage meaningful activity and social connection, and ensure that everyone feels seen and heard. For those living with dementia, we are particularly mindful of creating an environment that feels calm, familiar and reassuring, while still allowing for moments of joy and engagement throughout the day. Families are very much a part of life at Bowbrook. We welcome visits, value open communication, and believe that the people who know our residents best are an important part of how we provide good care. If something is not quite right, we want to hear about it so we can put it right. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and are committed to working openly and honestly in everything we do. If you would like to find out more about whether Bowbrook might be the right fit for you or your loved one, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk things through and arrange a visit.

We at Shenstone Hall are proud to offer warm, person centred residential care in the historic cathedral city of Lichfield, Staffordshire. As a dedicated residential care home, we provide a genuine sense of home for older people, including those living with dementia, whilst also welcoming residents needing respite or support with physical disabilities. Nestled within the WS postcode area of Lichfield, our home benefits from the peaceful character of this well loved Staffordshire community, with the charm of the West Midlands countryside close by. Families visiting can enjoy the tranquil surroundings, whilst residents feel part of a familiar, welcoming neighbourhood. Our environment has been thoughtfully arranged to feel homely and comfortable, with communal spaces that encourage friendship and quieter corners for reflection, reading or a visit from loved ones. Our specialisms reflect the breadth of care needs we support each day. For older people, we focus on preserving dignity, independence and individuality, tailoring daily routines around personal preferences rather than fixed schedules. For those living with dementia, our approach is gentle, patient and consistent, helping residents feel safe, understood and valued. Familiar routines, calm surroundings and meaningful activities all play a part in supporting wellbeing, whilst family members are kept closely involved in care planning and updates. For residents with a physical disability, we work to ensure the home is accessible and supportive, helping people continue doing the things that matter to them with as much independence as possible. Our respite care offers a warm, temporary home for those recovering from illness, following a hospital stay, or simply giving a family carer a well deserved break. Whether the stay is short or long term, every resident receives the same thoughtful attention and genuine warmth. Day to day life at Shenstone Hall is shaped by kindness and companionship. Mealtimes are unhurried and sociable, activities are varied and inclusive, and quieter one to one moments are just as valued as group occasions. We understand that moving into a care home is a significant step for the whole family, so we take time to build trusting relationships, listen carefully and communicate openly. Our home has been rated Good overall by the Care Quality Commission, with Good ratings across all five key areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well led. For families, this independent recognition offers reassurance that the care provided here meets the standards expected of a trusted care home, and that our team is committed to maintaining and building on that quality every day.

- Care Home
We are Watford House Residential Home in Lichfield, Staffordshire. We provide a home for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we also offer respite stays. Our work is residential care, which means supporting people with the daily things that have become difficult while leaving them in charge of everything else. Washing and dressing, meals, medication, getting about safely. Where health needs go beyond what we provide, we work with district nurses and GPs and we say so plainly rather than stretching to cover something we should not. Dementia shapes a good deal of our day. What helps most is knowing the person. Someone who spent their working life to a particular rhythm often still carries it, and a routine that respects that will go better than one imposed on top of it. When somebody is distressed we look for the cause rather than reaching for a technique, because there is usually a cause and it is often something straightforward. Respite stays are a proper part of what we do, and guests are assessed and welcomed as fully as anyone living here permanently. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.

Arranging and funding a dementia care home place in Lichfield
What this kind of care provides
All seven providers here are residential care homes, so staff are present through the day and night to help with washing, dressing, meals, medication and the ordinary rhythm of a day. For someone living with dementia the building matters far less than how predictable it feels. Familiar faces across shifts, a routine that does not shift about, and staff who notice distress gathering before it breaks are what hold a placement together.
Reading a short and uneven list
Hawthorn House, Shenstone Hall and Watford House Residential Home currently hold Good ratings. Christ the King, Footherley Hall and The Spires sit at Requires Improvement. Stowe Mount Care Home and Bowbrook have no published rating as yet, which usually means registration is recent rather than that anything is wrong. With only seven homes covering the area, ruling out four of them on labels alone would leave almost nothing, so the reports are worth reading properly. A home marked down on records is a different prospect from one marked down on how residents are treated.
Questions that separate one home from another
Ask what dementia training staff complete and who leads on it in the building. Ask how the home supports someone who walks with purpose, becomes unsettled towards evening, or no longer recognises family. Ask whether a resident can bring their own furniture and whether mealtimes flex around the person. Where a home holds no rating yet, ask when the first inspection is expected and what the manager has put in place in the meantime.
Choosing between dementia care homes in Lichfield
The assessment comes first
Before cost enters the conversation, the person needing care is entitled to a care needs assessment. It is carried out by the Staffordshire County Council social care team, the authority responsible for assessing need and arranging funded support, and anyone who appears to need help may request one whatever their savings. The assessor looks at memory, safety, mobility and the support already in place, then recommends whether a residential placement is the right answer.
Deciding who pays
A financial assessment follows, examining income, savings and, for a permanent move, property. Where capital falls below the national threshold the local authority may meet part or all of the weekly fee. Dementia care generally costs more than standard residential care because of the staffing it demands, so ask each home what the fee includes, what is billed separately, and how often it is reviewed. Some people qualify instead for NHS continuing healthcare, which applies where needs are primarily clinical.
Making a short list work for you
Seven homes is few enough to visit most of them, which is an advantage. Compare what you actually saw rather than what you read, and treat the full inspection report linked from each profile as your most dependable evidence.
Frequently asked questions about dementia care homes in Lichfield
How many dementia care homes are there in Lichfield?
Lichfield has 8 CQC registered care homes that are registered for dementia care, out of 9 CQC registered care homes in Lichfield: 3 Good, 2 Requires improvement, 3 not yet rated. Counts come from the CQC register and are kept up to date as ratings change.
Which dementia care homes in Lichfield were inspected most recently?
The Spires (20 March 2025), Watford House Residential Home (2 October 2024) and Christ the King, Footherley Hall (11 November 2023) have the most recent CQC reports.
Which providers in Lichfield offer dementia care?
8 residential care homes serving Lichfield are listed on this page: Hawthorn House, Stowe Mount Care Home, Bowbrook, Shenstone Hall, Christ the King Footherley Hall, The Spires and Watford House Residential Home. Each is registered to support people living with dementia. Registration sets out what a home may provide rather than how well it does so, which is why the rating and report matter. Opening a profile gives you the published detail for that provider.
How does a dementia care home differ from a dementia nursing home?
A residential dementia care home provides personal care and supervision, with trained care staff supporting daily life and a general practitioner or community nurse called in as needed. A dementia nursing home also employs registered nurses on site, suiting people with continuing clinical needs such as complex medication, wounds or feeding support. All 8 providers listed here are residential care homes rather than nursing homes. Where nursing input looks likely in the near future, that distinction should guide the search from the start.
What should I ask when visiting a dementia care home in Lichfield?
Ask how many staff are on duty overnight and how long the present team has been in post, since consistency matters greatly to someone with dementia. Ask what dementia training staff receive and how they respond when a resident becomes distressed or disorientated. Ask to see a week of activities and whether families may visit without arranging it in advance. Where a home has no published rating, ask when its first inspection is expected.
How do I arrange a care needs assessment in Lichfield?
Contact the adult social care team at Staffordshire County Council and request an assessment for the person needing care. Anyone who appears to need support is entitled to one whatever their income, and the request may be made by the person, a relative or a professional. An assessor will discuss memory, daily living, safety and the help already in place. The written outcome then recommends a level of care and opens the funding question.
Can Staffordshire County Council fund a dementia care home placement?
It can, where the care needs assessment and the financial assessment both support it. Staffordshire County Council first establishes that residential care is appropriate, then looks at income, savings and property to decide the person's contribution. Where capital sits below the national threshold the authority may meet part or all of the weekly fee. Some people are funded instead through NHS continuing healthcare, which applies when needs are primarily health related rather than social.
How far in advance should we start looking for dementia care?
Several months ahead of any likely move is sensible, because assessments take weeks and a list of only seven homes offers limited slack. Looking early also lets the person needing care visit and voice a preference while they are able to. Families who start only after a crisis, such as a hospital discharge or a carer falling ill, find the choice narrows sharply. Building a longer list now costs nothing and makes the eventual decision calmer.
