Pebble Mill is a purpose-built home welcoming residents with a range of care needs, including residential, nursing and Parkinson's.

Set in the heart of Edgbaston, Bupa’s Pebble Mill Care Home is just two miles from Birmingham city centre and a stone’s throw from Cannon Hill Park and its renowned Arts Centre. The BBC’s fondly-remembered Pebble Mill Studio closed its doors in 2005 to make way for a family of world-class healthcare facilities like Pebble Mill Care Home.

With superior standards of design, build and interior finish, everything you’ll find at Bupa’s Pebble Mill Care Home has been made with residents in mind. From the wide and welcoming corridors and communal spaces to the wheelchair-accessible lifts and stunning interior décor in each of the comfortable en-suite bedrooms.

Each of the 62 bedrooms – many with garden and courtyard views – are fitted with a flat-screen TV and 24-hour call system and are individually air-conditioned, ensuring the preferred temperature all year round. A state-of-the-art salon and nail bar offers a tranquil space for relaxation, a spot of pampering or therapeutic treatment, whilst a collection of comfortable lounges and seating areas provide places to socialise or enjoy quiet contemplation.

The team of nurses and carers has been selected for their natural compassion and real desire to make a difference. In addition to the fantastic surroundings and delicious food, it’s the people who make Pebble Mill such a reassuring and inspiring place.

My father required respite care for just over a week. After a visit, the family decided to use the Pebble Mill Care Home.
The care staff were friendly and approachable and seemed to genuinely care about my father asking questions about what he liked to eat and his hobbies. Although a new home, it was
very clean when we visited and I would be happy for my father to stay there again.

After delaying moving my Grandfather into a home as long as we possibly could, and after a false start on another move. The process has been very smooth and my Grandfather has settled in very well with none of the expected arguments which has relieved a level of stress of the whole family.

Reply from Gabriella Mills, Customer Adviser at Pebble Mill Care Home

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that your Grandfather has settled in well to Pebble Mill and that the transition has been smooth for you all. We appreciate your comments and will share them with the home's manager. The Bupa Customer Care Team.

My mother, who has gone as a nursing care resident, was taken on the second day of opening. She was the first there and I cannot speak too highly of staff and facilities. She seems settled and happy. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anybody. It is better than a top hotel.

Reply from Natalie Krisman, Customer Service Adviser at Pebble Mill Care Home

Thank you for your review and I am so pleased to hear that your mother is well-cared for and happy in the home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.582)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.582) out of 10 for Pebble Mill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.582 for Pebble Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.582

  • 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 Pebble Mill Care Home is based on 16 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 16 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.

Heidi Scott

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2024

I have been working as a home manager for over 20 years, I have worked in many different settings such as Mental Health, Rehabilitation, Elderly care as a Home Manager and also as an Area Director.


The sense of community a care home gives to residents and their families as well as to those that work in the home is what makes it for me. I feel privileged to be supporting the older generation as they have lived the life I am living. I love people's life stories; I love the spontaneity that comes with a variety of personalities.


I am a wife and mother to two children. I have two energetic dogs and in my spare time, I love to spend time travelling in my campervan seeing the beautiful sites and pubs around the UK. I have a passion for dance, art and music.
