We understand how hard it can be to make that transition to a care home, so we are really pleased to see that Mum's experience has given you the peace of mind you need. The care we provide is shaped around our values which means doing so with love and working as one team, one family and one community. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We will be sure to share this with the team.

Thank you so much for providing such lovely feedback. We appreciate your recommendation, as this will help other veterans and their partners to choose a place that's right for them. Dad can absolutely have mushrooms with every cooked breakfast. Our dining team has monthly meetings with the residents to create the menu together, and they will take any requests for whatever takes your fancy on that day.

Thanks for your feedback. We try to minimise the use of Agency staff but it is sometimes necessary in order to cover staff absences. We are increasing our bank staff so that we can have a regular pool of trusted familiar faces to help provide cover and reduce future requirements for agency use. Our Roundel house was independently assessed by a specialist care and dementia consultancy in August and it achieved their highest rating, with no specific concerns flagged about the environment. We manage a regular programme of cleaning and maintaining our furniture to ensure this is of a high standard and this may have contributed to a brief shortage of chairs at the time of your feedback. We would like to point out that this is unusual as there is normally plenty of comfortable seating in other parts of Roundel house.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Royal Star & Garter - Solihull is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.786 for Royal Star & Garter - Solihull is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.786
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Royal Star & Garter - Solihull is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2024
I qualified as an adult nurse in 2013 and specialised in Cardiology and High Dependency care at Solihull Hospital. I then went on to manage a local care home for three years before I had the pleasure of joining Star & Garter – Solihull, in June 2024.
I am extremely passionate about leading the team to provide gold-standard care for our residents, enabling them to provide person-centred, individualised care. I have a special interest in diversity and inclusion and keep up to date with the most recent research to support both the residents and staff. I have an excellent relationship with the local community, including adult health and social care, churches and schools to widen the access to and delivery of multiple well-being activities for the Home.
