Chelmunds Court has a high quality, innovative residential care and nursing home design, specially developed to provide expert care, in a safe and stimulating environment, for up to 73 older people.

Residents can enjoy mobilising around the curved corridors of the building’s quadrangle shape, which internally houses a safe, courtyard garden.

A central, dementia-friendly café has been designed as an environment to stimulate past memories, where residents can bring friends and relatives away from their natural residence. Lounges and dining rooms are stocked with baked goods and coffee and tea facilities and act as activity and entertainment areas too.

A corner activity room, complete with a low-level kitchen for group baking ease, has an external door positioned close to the Community Centre, to encourage community integration ease, including building beneficial intergenerational relationships.

Chelmunds Court is a 73 bed residential home offering compassionate, professional care for older people, especially those who are living with dementia, both residential and nursing. Centrally located in the Chelmsley Cross area of North Solihull this purpose-built care home is an integral part of one of the UK's largest-ever regeneration programmes.

Being a specialist provider of dementia care the Chelmunds Court team are well-placed to provide the 24-hour support, assistance and expert nursing required for all their residents.

The surrounding area has been extensively remodelled to provide state of the art leisure, healthcare, residential and community facilities, including new schools and green areas.

Chelmunds Court in Chelmsley Wood benefits greatly from being at the heart of such an important new social project and a new community has been created which residents are a proud part of.

Mom was admitted to Chalmunds Court in March 2023. Since her admission mom and her family have received excellent care. Mom loved the nurses, carers, cleaning staff and kitchen, they all treated mom with thoughtfulness and dignity. Unfortunately, mom became ill and the last weeks of her life was difficult.
I cannot praise the staff enough for the extra care mom was shown together with her family. I cannot recommend Chelmunds Court enough, they are all excellent. The rooms are clean and pleasantly decorated. Some excellent activities provided.

It was our pleasure caring for your mum. She is quite a character and she will be missed by our team.

Dad has been at Chelmunds for 12 months now. He is happy and relaxed in his new home. The personal care he has received has been good and changed with his needs. He enjoys the food. The activities put on by the well-being team are excellent. It has been good to join in with some of the activities both
at the home and on trips out. Staff are approachable and understanding and keep us well informed.
Thank you all.

The nursing and domestic staff looked after my father-in-law with compassion and professionalism. We never worried about him as we knew he was being looked after so well. They kept me fully informed of any changes in his condition. The home itself is beautiful and kept spotless. The food was nutritious
and appetising. Our family can't thank you enough for all the wonderful care you gave him and our family.

It has been a great comfort knowing that Dad is well cared for both emotionally and physically when I am so many miles away. He appears to be more relaxed and contented in your surroundings and help is always at hand. Thank you.

It was an emotional day I visited my sister. But I could not say how surprised at how happy and contented my sister was and so well looked after and the care given is absolutely outstanding. I left just as they were serving lunch. It looked delicious and well prepared and served with a happy smiling
face. The respect shown to the residents was also one that took my breath away. The facilities were clean with different areas to sit and have a cuppa to have special times to share. Her room was clean and plenty of places to store her possessions and en-suite facilities. Thank you for looking after my sister, she is and always will be a special, caring person and deserves to be happy with not a care in the world and full contentment.

Mom has been a resident here since January.
Mom suffers with dementia and the day having to put mom into care was a mixture of emotions and one of the hardest decisions we had to do. I’m so glad to say that Mom has been so happy here since the first day she arrived. The staff are wonderful, they are
kind compassionate and caring and couldn’t fault them for the wonderful care they have shown Mom. I love that the residents have many activities going on to keep them stimulated. The staff will always chat with you If you have any concerns or worries nothing is too much for them. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for looking after Mom the way you do.

Sadly, my father-in-law passed away Friday 7th July. What excellent end-of-life care they gave to him. All staff were amazing. Food and drink were provided all day. His beloved wife passed in March in the same home. As a family, we would like to thank each and every one of the staff. We will miss visiting
the home.

Reply from Geraldine Alfonso, Home Manager at Chelmunds Court

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.769) out of 10 for Chelmunds Court 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.769 for Chelmunds Court is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.769

  • 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 Chelmunds Court is based on 22 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 22 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.
