About Trinity View Care Home

Trinity View Care Home is a residential care home serving the Sandwell community, offering a familiar and homely setting for residents and their families. Finding the right care for a loved one is never easy, and Trinity View aims to provide a supportive environment where residents can feel comfortable and valued. The team there understands how important it is for families to feel reassured, and the home works to maintain meaningful connections between residents and the people who matter most to them.

Trinity View Care Home provides residential care and accommodation to six people with dementia, with capacity for up to eight residents. During the inspection, inspectors found that oversight systems were not always effective, and risks had not always been fully assessed to keep people safe. However, staff had received safeguarding training and understood how to report suspected abuse.

The home employed enough experienced and trained staff who knew residents' individual needs and were able to provide appropriate support.
