What inspectors found

Inspected 2024-01-25

  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    The inspection conducted on 25 January 2024 resulted in an overall Inadequate rating for this home. Individual domain ratings from that inspection are recorded in the available data as not yet rated, which means we cannot tell you specifically what inspectors found under safety. An Inadequate overall rating, declining from a previous Requires Improvement, is a serious regulatory signal. The inspection report text available to us does not provide specific observations on medicines management, falls, staffing levels, or infection control.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Not yet rated
    Individual domain ratings from the January 2024 inspection are not detailed in the information available to us. We therefore cannot confirm what inspectors found about training, care planning, healthcare access, or food quality at this home. The overall Inadequate rating means inspectors identified serious concerns, but we cannot tell you from the available text whether those concerns included effectiveness of care. The home is registered to support people living with dementia, which makes dementia-specific training and detailed care planning particularly important.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Not yet rated
    No specific inspection observations about staff warmth, dignity, or compassionate care are available in the text provided to us. The overall Inadequate rating covers the home as a whole, but we cannot confirm whether caring interactions were among the concerns or whether inspectors recorded positive examples. For a home specialising in dementia care for people over 65, the quality of daily human interaction is one of the most important factors affecting wellbeing.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Not yet rated
    The inspection findings available to us do not include specific detail on activities, individual engagement, or responsiveness to residents' preferences and needs. We cannot tell you whether the home provided meaningful activities for people with dementia, supported residents who cannot join group sessions, or had processes for responding to complaints. An overall Inadequate rating means these areas may have been among those assessed, but the evidence is not in the text provided.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Not yet rated
    The home is run by 3A Care (Bromsgrove) Ltd and has two registered managers listed, Mrs Becky Dallimore and Mrs Wendy Louise Keele, alongside a nominated individual, Mr Amit Patel. Having two registered managers is unusual and may indicate a period of transition or instability in leadership. The home's overall rating has declined from Requires Improvement to Inadequate, which is a direction of travel that raises serious questions about governance and accountability. No specific inspection observations about leadership quality, culture, or management visibility are available in the text provided.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home specialises in dementia care alongside general residential support for older adults. They provide 24-hour care with staff trained to understand the particular needs that come with memory-related conditions. The team here has experience managing the daily realities of dementia, from supporting residents through confusion to maintaining routines that bring comfort. They work to create an environment where people living with dementia feel understood and cared for. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

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.

28/ 100

DCC Family Score

This home received an overall Inadequate rating at its January 2024 inspection, having previously been rated Requires Improvement. The published inspection text provided to us contains no domain-level evidence, so every score reflects that serious regulatory concern rather than specific observed strengths.

Homes in West Midlands typically score 68–82.

The three-lens summary

Lens 01

What families tell us

Some families have found real comfort in the way staff approach their work here. The team has been described as patient and caring, maintaining their composure even during challenging moments that can arise with dementia care.

Lens 02

What inspectors have recorded

The care team works to provide consistent support, though some have noted that staffing levels can affect the range of activities on offer. Families have different experiences here, with some appreciating the staff's dedication while others have raised concerns about the environment and daily programmes.

Lens 03

How it sits against good practice

Every family's priorities are different, so visiting Regents Court yourself will help you understand if it feels right for your loved one.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Regents Court Care Home, at 128 Stourbridge Road in Bromsgrove, was rated Inadequate at its inspection on 25 January 2024. This is the most serious rating available and represents a decline from the previous rating of Requires Improvement. An Inadequate rating means inspectors found serious concerns serious enough to require regulatory action, and this home has now been inspected six times in total. The inspection report text available to us does not contain the detailed domain-level findings that would normally allow us to tell you specifically what went wrong, which makes it harder to advise you. However, the Inadequate overall rating is itself significant information. Before considering this home, you should contact the care regulator directly to obtain the full published report, ask the home what specific improvements have been made since January 2024, and request written evidence of those changes. On any visit, pay close attention to how staff interact with residents in communal areas, whether the building feels clean and calm, and how readily the manager can answer detailed questions about staffing, incidents, and care planning.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier
