The service in brief
Registered with CQC as a residential care home, Wilnecote Rest Home is based in Tamworth, run by Dr Rais Ahmed Rajput. Its registered specialisms include dementia.
Its latest CQC rating is Good overall (April 2019). It is one of 11 CQC-registered care homes in and around Tamworth; 8 of those are rated Good or Outstanding.
Strengths and weak spots in the ratings
CQC rated every one of the five key questions Good here, so there is no weak spot in the published ratings.
For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 158 of the 238 other care homes in Staffordshire that CQC has rated.
Who runs it
Dr Rais Ahmed Rajput runs 3 CQC-registered services; 3 of the 3 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (100%), against 83% for the same mix of services across England.
All 3 are in Staffordshire, so it is a local operator rather than a national chain.
Around Tamworth
There are 21 other care homes within 3 miles, 15 of them rated Good or Outstanding; the nearest is Spring Tree Rest Home, 0.6 miles away.
19 of the 21 nearest rated care homes have a more recent rating than this one.
It sits in Wilnecote ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 50% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB.
Within about a 10-minute walk there is a pharmacy (3 min), a shop (1 min), a park (4 min), a café (1 min) and a bus stop (1 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.
Likely fees
We estimate Wilnecote Rest Home at £1,210–£1,470 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £63k–£76k.
Check what the weekly fee leaves out; hairdressing, chiropody, trips and newspapers are common extras.
If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Staffordshire Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
Wilnecote Rest Home over the years
CQC registration dates from December 2010, so the service has been operating for around 15 years under its current registration.
CQC has published 4 overall ratings for it (2015–2019), starting at Inadequate and improving to Good.
No new overall rating has been published for 7 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
