Could the NHS fund Forster House's fees?
NHS Continuing Healthcare could cover 100% of care costs with no means test.
Located on Forster Street in Smethwick, this small residential care home provides accommodation for five residents. It is operated by Hickam Healthcare Ltd and serves older people, younger adults, and individuals with learning disabilities. The home received a Good rating from the CQC following its most recent inspection in August 2024. Its modest size means a more intimate setting compared to larger facilities. The Sandwell area offers reasonable transport links and local amenities. The home's mixed client base suggests experience in supporting residents with varying needs and levels of dependency. Being a smaller operation may allow for more personalised care routines, though prospective residents and families should clarify specific support arrangements and staffing levels directly with the provider.
