CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Alphonsus House is a 19-bed residential care home in Oldbury, Sandwell, run by Parkcare Homes (No.2) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Sandwell, where the typical home has 12 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in January 2020. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in February 2019. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Sandwell, 63% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Across Sandwell, 73% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2025. That is true of 95% of homes in Sandwell. Parkcare Homes (No.2) Limited runs 88 care homes, and 75 of the 87 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
