STAGE 4 — RESEARCHING CARE HOMES
Visit homes. Compare them side by side. Choose with confidence.
Most of us will view care homes the way we view houses, impression, atmosphere, the feeling in the corridor. We go home, try to remember what we saw, and make a permanent decision from a blurred memory.
The DCC shortlist gives every home you visit a structured record: the same twelve questions, answered the same way, every time. When you’re ready to choose, pull any two homes side by side and compare them directly. Same criteria, same evidence, your notes and your scores.

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Requires Improvement at the April 2019 inspection, making it the one area where the home did not meet expected standards. The published text does not specify what the concerns were, which areas fell short, or what actions were taken in response. This rating covers training, care planning, healthcare access, and nutritional support. It is not known from the available text whether the issues identified have since been resolved, as the last inspection was in 2019.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the April 2019 inspection. The published text does not include direct observations of staff interactions, quotes from residents or relatives, or specific examples of how dignity and respect were upheld in practice. The Good rating indicates inspectors did not identify concerns in this area, but the evidence base available to families is limited.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the April 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether the home tailors its care and activities to individual needs, responds to complaints, and plans appropriately for end of life. The published text does not include specific detail about the activity programme, complaint handling, or individual care arrangements. No concerns were highlighted in the summary.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the April 2019 inspection. The home is run by Broadening Choices for Older People, with Miss Carla Louise Smith listed as registered manager and Mrs Helen Gore as nominated individual. The overall improvement from Requires Improvement to Good across the service suggests the leadership team addressed earlier concerns. No specific detail about management culture, staff voice, or governance processes is included in the available text.

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
Anita Stone Court has improved from Requires Improvement to Good overall, which is a meaningful step forward. However, the Effective domain remains Requires Improvement, and the inspection text available provides very little specific detail across all areas, which limits confidence and keeps scores in the moderate range.
Homes in West Midlands typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Anita Stone Court, on Moor Green Lane in Birmingham, was rated Good overall at its last inspection in April 2019. The home improved from a previous rating of Requires Improvement, which indicates that concerns identified earlier were addressed. It is registered to care for up to 33 people, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment, across nursing and personal care. The main uncertainty here is significant: the published inspection text contains almost no specific observational detail, meaning it is not possible to say what inspectors actually saw, heard, or recorded about daily life in the home. The Effective domain, which covers training, care planning, and healthcare, remains rated Requires Improvement. That is a gap that matters directly for your parent's wellbeing. Before making a decision, visit in person during a weekday morning, ask to see the dementia training records for all staff, and ask the manager to explain what the outstanding concerns in the Effective domain were and what has changed since 2019.
