About Flint Green House

Flint Green House is a residential care home in Birmingham. Details of the CQC's most recent findings are set out below.

Flint Green House provides accommodation and personal care for up to 15 people with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia, with placements typically lasting around 18 months. At inspection, 11 people lived at the home. Staff knew how to protect residents from harm, and overall risks to people's health and well-being had been assessed and monitored appropriately.

People received their medication as prescribed, and the home maintained adequate staffing levels to meet residents' needs. The premises were visibly clean.

Residents felt safe and were supported to make their own decisions about their care. Staff continually supported people to have maximum choice and control over their lives.
