Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good in May 2022. This domain covers staff training, care planning, access to healthcare professionals, and nutrition and hydration. Dementia is listed as a specialism of the home, which means the inspection would have considered whether staff have the skills and knowledge to care for people living with dementia. No specific training records, care plan examples, or healthcare outcomes are described in the published report.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good in May 2022. This domain covers staff warmth, respect for dignity and privacy, and whether people are supported to maintain their independence. It is the domain most closely aligned with the day-to-day experience your parent would have at Eastcote Park. No direct inspector observations, resident quotes, or family testimony are recorded in the published report text.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good in May 2022. This domain covers whether the home tailors care to individuals, provides meaningful activities, responds to complaints, and plans for end-of-life care. Dementia and physical disabilities are both listed as specialisms, which means the home should have considered how to make activities and daily life accessible to people with varying levels of ability. No specific activity programmes, individual engagement examples, or complaint outcomes are described in the published report.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good in May 2022. A named registered manager, Mrs Caroline Louise Morse, and a nominated individual, Mrs Carole Hunt, are confirmed in post. The home is operated by Eastcote Care Limited. Good governance at the Well-led level means inspectors were satisfied that systems for oversight, accountability, and continuous improvement were in place. No specific examples of quality improvement actions, staff feedback mechanisms, or governance outcomes are described in the published report.

Eastcote Park Care Home was rated Good across all five inspection domains in May 2022, which places it in a solid position, but the published report contains limited specific detail, direct observations, or resident testimony to push scores higher.

Worth a visit
Eastcote Park Care Home, on Knowle Road in Solihull, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection in May 2022. The home is registered to provide care for up to 50 people, including older adults, people under 65, people living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities. A named registered manager and nominated individual are confirmed in post, which is a positive governance indicator. The main limitation of this report is that the published inspection text is brief and contains no direct observations, resident or family testimony, or specific examples of how care is delivered day to day. Every score in this report is based on domain ratings alone rather than detailed evidence, which means there is genuine uncertainty about what life at Eastcote Park looks like in practice. On a visit, pay close attention to how staff interact with your parent in corridors and communal areas, ask to see the weekly activity schedule and the actual staffing rota for the past week, and ask specifically how dementia care is tailored to individuals given that is a listed specialism of the home.
