  • Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home, Solihull
Blythe Rose is a luxury new 80-bed care home at Blythe Valley, designed and built to provide the very best dementia, advanced dementia and dementia nursing support across the region.

Design is guided by the award-winning charity, Hammond Care and the renowned Dementia Services Development Centre in Stirling, to create the best possible environment for those requiring professional memory care.

Featuring innovative lodges which house no more than 15, residents will receive quality, personalised care according to clinical need within an environment created to help individuals retain a sense of identity and autonomy.

Thoughtfully-designed communal areas include a 'high street' with its own shop, hairdresser, cinema and terrace café, even a 1960s style suite where families can spend time together with a loved one amidst familiar surroundings of days gone by.

Similarly, for residents who require nursing and residential care - respite or longer term, as a comfortable home for life - lodge communities offer close-knit and supportive communities, with a relaxed, family feel.

State-of-the-art Integrated technology is used unobtrusively throughout the home, so that everyone regardless of their specialist memory care, nursing or residential needs can be kept safe and well, whilst enjoying life.

With 122 acres as its backdrop and featuring landscaped gardens, residents and visitors can enjoy the ever-calming and restorative effects of green space and nature.

My Mom has been a resident at Blythe Rose since June 2024. I am eternally grateful for the care and support that all of the staff members provide to Mom, the other residents, our family and friends. As a healthcare professional myself I have high expectations of good care. In my opinion Blythe Rose
Care Home exceeds this, their care is exceptional. They promote a quality of life no matter how difficult the circumstances are. The Home has demonstrated that dementia doesn't define you. They strive to provide personalised care that is resident centered. Since being a resident at Blythe my Moms personality has flourished. She is so happy and content. The communication from the home is excellent they have always kept me well informed. The multi-professional team caring for my Mom are incredible. Thank you for helping our family throughout this journey. It has not gone unnoticed and we really do appreciate it.

Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. It has been so lovely getting to know your mum and your family since June! We are thrilled to hear that you are happy with our standard of care and can see a positive change in your since she became one of our residents. We will pass on your kind words to our whole team. Thank you once again. Kind Regards.

My father was a resident from January 2024 until he passed away in October 2024. Dad settled well and was happy here. During the last week of his life, myself and several family members stayed with dad. The care and compassion showed to dad and us as a family was exceptional. The manager and the whole
team respected our wishes and couldn't have done more. It is a comfort to know that dad was so well cared for in the final months of his life.

My father-in-law never had the opportunity to experience a long-term stay at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home as he transferred from a previous home in North Birmingham where his health had rapidly deteriorated with regards to his vascular dementia and Alzheimer's condition. Had he been a resident
at Blythe Rose from the outset, I am convinced he would have lasted much longer.
The manager and his team are exceptional. The home itself is absolutely fabulous, spacious, tastefully decorated in soothing, calm colours. Plenty of room to wander safely. Great outdoor space and not at all like you would imagine a nursing home.
More importantly, is the level of care they offer and their commitment to ensuring all their residents are treated with dignity, kindness and loving support. The team of carers and nurses who cared for my father-in-law up to his passing were phenomenal. Their compassion and kindness, their communication and sensitivity to the situation with us, as the family, were quite incredible.

Reply from Sammy Burgess, Customer Relations Manager at Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home

Hi Gail, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is very much appreciated. We hope you and your family are keeping well. It was a pleasure to meet and care for your father-in-law and we are extremely happy to hear that you feel he was at his most comfortable when he came to Blythe Rose. We have passed your kind words on to the whole team and in particular, the carers and nurses on his lodge. It was lovely to have met you all and if there is anything we can do to support in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

My father arrived at Blythe Rose from the hospital in 2023. I can not express how amazing Blythe Rose has been. The settling-in process was extremely well executed, and my dad settled very quickly. The activities have been fun and variable, and the food is excellent. The care the staff show to both
its residents and my mother has been far and away the most impressive feature of the home. They have looked after Dad well and also Mum with kindness, sensitivity and respect. I really appreciate all they do and honestly can not think of anywhere being better for both Dad and Mum.

I have found Blythe Rose Care Home to be the perfect home from home for my mother, who has had some weeks of respite care there. The staff have been professional, empathetic, caring and compassionate, observing regularly and meeting Mum’s needs well with regard to her medication and interests.
While
she has been there, the communication between the care home and myself has been exceptional, nothing has been too much trouble and the staff make it a priority to get to know Mum well, as well as my sister and I.
Knowing the level of care has been so good, it has made the possible decision in the future to make this a more permanent arrangement less daunting, where I feel the relationship with Mum has now returned to being mother and daughters rather than mother and carers.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I am really impressed with the professionalism and wrap around care and support provided by the team at Blythe Rose. All the staff team from reception, administrative support, homemakers, lodge leaders, nursing, operational and management show a very warm and responsive approach to their residents and
their families.
I live outside the UK but am keen to support my sister and keep in touch with her as much as is possible at this stage of her illness. I have appreciated the many ways in which Blythe Rose has facilitated this. Examples of this would be the meetings for relatives hosted on the web, a regular newsletter and postings on social media that capture special moments of activities/outings for residents.
I have also received great help in having one to one chats with my sister and in sending her newsletters from family overseas.
I believe that the Blythe Rose team provide outstanding care in the meeting the needs of people living with dementia.

This is Dad’s second care home and having had a poor experience previously, it was such a relief to find a ‘home from home’ place. Staff are caring, respectful and so very patient with him.

Mum has been resident here for almost a year. The staff could not be nicer and are always friendly.
Prior to coming to the home my mum was really sad and challenging to care for. I’ve seen a completely different side to her since coming here.
We knew it was the place for her when we saw the lodge
living design, enabling residents to do their own cooking, laundry and it felt like home.
Management are understanding and sort out any issues that arise.

Whilst my dad was only in Blythe Rose Care Home for a short time and sadly passed away there, I really can’t speak highly enough of all the staff there for the compassion and care they showed and throughout Dad's last hours. I’m so happy that Dad was there when he passed, with privacy and in comfort,
rather than having been in hospital and honestly, the staff have all been so lovely throughout his stay and everyone I’ve met has always had a smile on their face.
The nurses were so caring with his nursing needs and the manager was so understanding on his final day as well. Whilst it was essentially an incredibly sad experience, it brings me great peace to know Dad was well looked after in his final few weeks and that I was able to be with him in his last moments.

My father-in-law moved into Blythe Rose in October 2022 and we could not be happier with the care he receives. After a lengthy stint in hospital and then respite care elsewhere, he was unable to walk independently and had lost a considerable amount of weight. A week or two into his move to Blythe Rose,
he was walking again, eating for England and smiling. Deciding that you need help to care for a loved one is heartbreaking and it has been a massive adjustment for the whole family but made so much easier by the professionalism and warmth every single member of staff has shown us all. My father in law has good days and bad days due to the dementia but we know that he is cared for and shown the love we aren't always there to give him every single day. The whole family would recommend Blythe Rose for anyone considering a care home for a loved one suffering from dementia.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.774)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.774) out of 10 for Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.961 for Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.961

  • 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 4.813 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blythe Rose Specialist Dementia Care Home is based on 13 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.813

  • 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.

Joined: 2024

My name is Barry Flanagan and I am proud to be the manager at Blythe Rose Dementia Care home.


I began working in the care industry during the 1980s and qualified as a nurse in 1991, subsequently working for the NHS and in both the private and voluntary sectors.


Over the past thirty years, I have primarily worked with residents who can present with challenges and in the last 12 years, dedicated my energy and experience to developing specialist care for adults with dementia or mental health conditions.


I am a qualified trainer and while always keen to develop my own knowledge and skills, also enjoy sharing my experiences and supporting and encouraging the people around me to meet their full potential.


My ambition for Blythe Rose Dementia Care is to make a real difference in the lives of the residents under my team’s care and empower them to maintain their identity, character and choices.


With strong values, passion and innovation at its heart, the home will truly be a centre of excellence – contributing to ongoing development, research and best care practices for people living with dementia, mental health and cognitive impairment.


Outside of work, I have a happy family life and enjoy many hobbies including football, reading and history.

A home where both residents and staff are ‘happy’ to be there; and ‘happening’ through its culture of constant innovation and improvements. These are holistic in approach, ranging from purposeful activities, a stimulating environment, technology advancements for the benefit of the home and continual learning and skills development for staff.


In my free time, I play cricket in the Sunday Arden League, Warwickshire County Division 3 and organise social events for a cricket club community. I also enjoy playing badminton, socialising, and travel.
