Briarscroft Residential Care Home
 

Superb facilities in our Shard End care home

Few care homes in Birmingham and the West Midlands can offer the facilities we can. Briarscroft has spacious en-suite bedrooms, each with its own walk-in wet room. We encourage all of our residents to really make themselves at home.

Away from its bedrooms, our Shard End care home also features a hairdressing salon (perfect for a spot of pampering), a bistro café (where fresh tea and cake is plentiful in supply), a cinema room (to bring the big screen) and a Namaste room.

We also have a heated outdoor visitors’ pod, so when residents’ families and friends can comfortably enjoy our outdoor space, all year round.

What activities are on offer at our Shard End care home?

At Briarscroft, our residents can enjoy a movie matinee without even leaving Shard End! We have a cinema room with traditional-style seating and a popcorn machine. From Breakfast at Tiffany's to Singin' in the Rain - the classic titles often prove to be a highlight for those living with dementia.

For those with sensory impairments or physical disabilities, our Namaste room is a tranquil and therapeutic retreat. With multi-sensory lighting, aromatic oils, and relaxing sounds like birdsong, it's a haven of calm.

Our 'Magic Table' supports our residents who live with dementia to engage with interactive light games that encourage gentle movement. We also have a piano for those who enjoy a sing-along.

Our staff also treat residents to pamper sessions with manicures and hand massages. They are also passionate about their musicals, getting the residents involved in everything from Grease to festive productions. We are lucky to have a drama group in Birmingham that kindly donates costumes to us.

The senior residents at Briarscroft care home can take a step back in time and choose their treats from old-fashioned jars in our vintage sweet shop. This is a wonderful reminiscence activity for those who live with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia or age-related memory loss.

Residents can also buy toiletries, birthday cards and arts and crafts materials from our Shard End care home’s resident-run shop. The shop gives them such a great feeling of purposeful engagement and is very popular with everyone at Briarscroft.

The care home bistro is the perfect spot for family and friends to visit and enjoy special celebrations.. With hot drinks, biscuits, and delicious home-baked cakes readily available, it's an ideal spot to relax.

And if residents would like to visit Shard End, there’s a variety of local facilities, including the community centre, shops, a library, and a church. It also benefits from having fantastic transport links to the rest of Birmingham.

It is common for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care home fees. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.

Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2024 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1067 but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
