Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the February 2024 inspection. The home's registered specialisms include dementia care, which means staff should be trained and care plans should reflect dementia-specific needs. The published report does not include specific evidence on training content, care plan quality, GP access arrangements, or how food and nutrition are managed. The home cares for both adults over and under 65, which requires staff to hold a broad range of skills.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the February 2024 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and independence. The published report does not include inspector observations of staff interactions, resident quotes about how they feel treated, or specific examples of dignity practice such as knocking before entering rooms or using preferred names. The Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied, but the level of evidence available to families is limited.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the February 2024 inspection. This domain covers activities, engagement, individuality, and end-of-life care. The home cares for people with a range of needs, including dementia and sensory impairments, which means activities and engagement approaches need to be genuinely tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. The published report does not include specific evidence about the activity programme, one-to-one engagement provision, or end-of-life planning arrangements.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the February 2024 inspection. A named registered manager, Mrs Anna Jane Demicoli, is in post, supported by a nominated individual, Mr Geoffrey Charles Butcher. The home previously held a Requires Improvement overall rating, and the recovery to Good across all domains suggests that leadership has driven improvement. The published report does not detail how long the current manager has been in post, what governance systems are in place, or how the home handles complaints and learning from incidents.

The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Field House Rest Home scores 72 out of 100. The home was rated Good across all five domains at its most recent full assessment in February 2024, which is a positive recovery from a prior Requires Improvement rating, but the published report contains very limited specific detail, so the score reflects cautious confidence rather than strong verified evidence.
Homes in West Midlands typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Field House Rest Home, on Thicknall Lane in Stourbridge, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its most recent assessment in February 2024, with the full report published in July 2024. This is a positive result, and it represents a recovery from a previous Requires Improvement overall rating. The home is registered to support up to 54 people, including those living with dementia, adults with physical disabilities, and people with sensory impairments. A registered manager is named and in post, which is an important sign of governance stability. The significant caveat is that the published inspection report contains very limited specific detail. Inspectors confirmed the Good ratings but the available text does not include observed examples of staff behaviour, resident or family quotes, or specifics about staffing levels, activities, food, or dementia care practice. This means the Good rating is confirmed but cannot be fully contextualised for you as a family. Before committing to a placement, visit the home in person, ask to see the actual staffing rota from last week, attend around a mealtime, and request a conversation with the registered manager about how the home improved from its previous rating and what has been put in place since.
