  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the May 2022 inspection.

The published summary does not include specific observations, staffing ratios, or detail on how medicines are managed. No concerns were flagged in this domain.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the May 2022 inspection. This domain typically covers training, care planning, nutrition, and access to healthcare professionals such as GPs and specialist nurses. The home lists dementia as a specialism, and the Effective rating suggests inspectors were broadly satisfied with how care is planned and delivered. No specific examples, quotes, or observations are available in the published summary.

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.

68/ 100

DCC Family Score

Studley Rose Care Home scores in the mid-range overall, reflecting a Good rating across four domains but a Requires Improvement in leadership. The inspection report provides limited specific detail across most themes, which limits how confidently any area can be scored.

Homes in West Midlands typically score 68–82.

The three-lens summary

Lens 01

What families tell us

The atmosphere here strikes visitors immediately — staff are consistently described as friendly and approachable, taking time to engage with residents even during busy periods. Families notice how their loved ones receive support that's adapted to their individual needs and preferences, with dignity always at the forefront. The home actively creates connections with the local community through regular events and outings, helping residents maintain that vital sense of belonging.

Lens 02

What inspectors have recorded

What stands out is how staff maintain their warmth and attentiveness regardless of how busy things get. The nursing team receives particular praise for their medical expertise, especially when supporting residents through recovery after hospital stays. Communication with families appears to be a real strength, with staff keeping relatives informed and involved in care decisions.

Lens 03

How it sits against good practice

If you're looking for somewhere that combines professional nursing care with genuine human connection, Studley Rose deserves your consideration.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Studley Rose Care Home, on Pool Road in Studley, was rated Good overall at its inspection in May 2022, with Good ratings across Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive domains. The exception is Well-led, which was rated Requires Improvement. A monitoring review in July 2023 found no evidence requiring a change to that rating. The home is a 65-bed nursing home with dementia listed as a specialism, alongside care for adults over and under 65 with physical disabilities. The published report summary provides limited specific detail about what inspectors actually observed, making it difficult to give you a full picture of day-to-day life at the home. The Requires Improvement in Well-led is the most important area to probe before making a decision. On a visit, ask to speak with the registered manager, find out how long she has been in post, and ask directly what improvements have been made since the inspection. A well-led home should be able to answer that question clearly and without hesitation.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier
