Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 0 good, 33 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?

77% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Bromford Lane Care Centre is one of 272 care homes in Birmingham: a 116-bed nursing home in Birmingham, run by Bondcare (Bromford) Limited.

That is larger than most homes in Birmingham, where the typical home has 16 beds.
Its CQC rating, from June 2026, is Inadequate across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in January 2019, was Good, so the home has slipped. The typical rating in Birmingham is about 7 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 33 fell below good.
