Home Care in Solihull
For many families in Solihull, the realisation that a loved one needs more support tends to build gradually. Small things at first. A missed meal, a concern about getting around the house safely, or a growing sense that someone is managing less comfortably than they once did.
Home care allows people to remain in their own homes, with support built around their individual needs and the routines that matter to them. Staying in a familiar place, keeping a sense of independence, and continuing to live life on their own terms. That is what home care is designed to protect.
Birmingham Home Care Group provides flexible, compassionate home care across Solihull and the surrounding areas. Whether support is needed a few times a week or on a more regular daily basis, care is arranged around the individual and what they actually need, not a fixed package that may not suit them.
If you are looking for trusted home care in Solihull, we are here to help.

What Is Home Care?
Home care, sometimes called domiciliary care, is support delivered in a person’s own home by a trained carer. Rather than moving into a residential or nursing setting, the individual stays where they are most comfortable, and the care is brought to them.
What that support involves depends entirely on the person. For some it means help with washing and dressing in the morning. For others it covers meal preparation, medication reminders, help around the house, or regular companionship visits. Many people need a combination of these things, and that is entirely workable.
There are real benefits to staying at home. Familiar surroundings, personal routines, and being close to family and community can all contribute positively to how someone feels day to day. These things are easy to underestimate until they are no longer there.
Home care does not have to be a fixed, permanent arrangement from the start. Some people begin with a couple of visits each week and increase support as needs change over time. Others come to us needing more consistent help from the outset. Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as circumstances evolve, so the support always reflects where someone actually is rather than where they were when care first began.

Why Families in Solihull Choose Home Care
Solihull has a strong sense of place. Established residential neighbourhoods, well-kept streets, and communities where many people have lived for a long time. For older residents, the prospect of leaving that environment can feel like a significant and unwelcome change.
Home care makes it possible to stay. To remain in the home someone knows, in the area they have always lived in, with access to the local things that have always been part of their routine. That continuity has genuine value, and it is one of the most common reasons families in Solihull choose home care over other options.
One-to-one attention is another reason. During every visit, a carer is focused entirely on one person. That level of individual care is difficult to replicate in a residential setting, and for many people it makes a meaningful difference to their daily experience.
Flexibility matters too. Support can begin at a level that feels right and increase over time if needs change. A family might start with a morning visit each day and adjust the arrangement as things develop. That gradual approach tends to feel much more manageable than committing to something more intensive from the outset.
For family members living in or around Solihull, home care also brings practical reassurance. Regular updates from the care team, consistent carers visiting their loved one, and open communication can ease the worry that often comes with looking after an older parent while managing everything else in life at the same time.
What Can a Home Carer Help With?
The support provided during a home care visit is shaped around what the individual needs. For some that means help at particular points in the day. For others it covers a broader range of tasks spread throughout the week.
Common areas of support include:
- Washing, bathing, and personal hygiene
- Help with dressing and grooming, particularly around morning routines
- Medication reminders and support with managing prescriptions
- Preparing meals and snacks at appropriate times throughout the day
- Mobility support and help moving safely around the home
- Light household tasks such as tidying, laundry, and washing up
- Shopping assistance or accompanying someone to local appointments
- Overnight presence for people who need reassurance or practical help during the night
- Companionship and genuine conversation during visits
Throughout every visit, the focus is on the individual. Their preferences, their comfort, and their dignity. A carer works around the person and fits into their existing routine rather than imposing a new one on top of it.
Our Home Care Process
Many families put off getting in touch because they are not sure what the process involves, or they worry it will feel overwhelming at a time when they are already under pressure.
It does not need to feel that way.
- Initial Enquiry
Get in touch by phone or through our enquiry form. There is no obligation and no pressure. We are here to answer questions and help you understand what options are available. - Free Consultation
We will talk through the situation together. What daily life currently looks like, what the care needs are, and what kind of support would make the most practical difference. A good time to raise anything you have been unsure about. - Care Assessment
A care assessment gives us a clear picture of what support is needed. It covers the individual’s daily routines, health considerations, personal preferences, and how care would fit practically into their life. - Personalised Care Plan
A care plan is put together based on the assessment. It sets out the type of support, the frequency of visits, and how care will be structured around the individual. - Care Begins
Once everything is agreed and in place, care starts. The plan is reviewed regularly and can be adjusted at any point as things change.
How Much Does Home Care Cost in Solihull?
The cost of home care in Solihull depends on the level of support required, how often carers visit, and the length of each visit. Specialist care, overnight support, and live-in arrangements are priced differently to a few short weekly visits.
There is no universal price because every arrangement is built around the individual. What one person needs and what another person needs can be quite different, and costs reflect that difference.
The main structures of care and how they compare:
- Visiting care involves planned visits throughout the week, typically morning or evening calls
- Daily visits provide more consistent support across key points in the day
- Overnight care covers the night-time hours specifically for people who need someone present
- Live-in care involves a carer staying full-time in the home, providing continuous support
- 24-hour care delivers round-the-clock cover through a rotating care team
Many people begin with a modest level of support and increase it as needs develop. Starting with a few visits a week does not mean that is where things stay permanently. Care plans can be reviewed and adjusted at any stage.
Funding options that may help with the cost of home care include:
- Attendance Allowance, a non-means-tested benefit available to people over State Pension age who need help with personal care due to illness or disability
- Local authority funding, which may be available following a care needs assessment carried out by Solihull Council
- NHS Continuing Healthcare, for people with significant and complex health needs who meet the eligibility criteria
- Direct Payments, which allow individuals to manage their own care budget and arrange their own support directly

Frequently Asked Questions
Home care is support provided by a trained carer in a person’s own home. It covers a wide range of needs, from help with personal care and daily routines to companionship, medication reminders, and overnight support. It is sometimes referred to as domiciliary care or care at home.
Domiciliary care typically includes help with washing, dressing, and personal hygiene, along with meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility support, light household tasks, and companionship. The specific support is set out in the individual’s care plan and reflects what they need day to day.
Costs vary depending on the level of support required, how frequently carers visit, and the duration of each visit. Overnight and live-in arrangements are priced differently to standard visiting care. We are happy to discuss costs in more detail once we have a clearer understanding of the support needed.
This depends on the situation and the complexity of care required. In urgent cases, such as a hospital discharge or a sudden change in someone’s health, we work to put support in place as promptly as possible. Getting in touch sooner gives us the best chance of arranging things quickly.
Yes. Multiple visits each day is a common arrangement. A morning call to help with getting up and an evening call to help with getting ready for bed is a typical example. Visits are structured around the individual’s routine and what works best for them.
Yes. Live-in care involves a carer staying in the home full-time, providing continuous support through the day and overnight. It suits people who need a higher level of ongoing help but prefer to remain at home rather than move into a residential setting.
Yes. We provide specialist dementia care for people at various stages of the condition. This includes support with daily routines, safety at home, emotional reassurance, and continuity through consistent carers who become a familiar presence.

Eligibility is means-tested, so not everyone will qualify for funded care. Other options include Attendance Allowance, NHS Continuing Healthcare, and Direct Payments. We can point you toward the right information when you get in touch.
It depends on the individual and their specific needs and circumstances. For many people, remaining at home with the right level of support works very well. Home care provides one-to-one attention in familiar surroundings, which suits a lot of people and their families. For others, residential care may become the more appropriate choice at a certain point. What matters most is finding the right fit for the person involved.
Yes. Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needs change. Someone who starts with two or three weekly visits may need more support further down the line. The care provided should always reflect the individual’s current situation, and we make sure it does through regular reviews.
A care assessment is a conversation about the individual’s needs, daily routines, health considerations, and personal preferences. It helps us build a clear and honest picture of what support would be most useful and how best to arrange it. It is not a formal examination. The goal is simply to make sure care is put in place in a way that genuinely works for the person receiving it and the family around them.
