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. ?
Highcroft House is a 6-bed residential care home in Four Oaks, Birmingham, run by Dignus Healthcare Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Birmingham has 16 beds, so this one is on the small side.
139 other homes in Birmingham share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2026. 86% of homes in Birmingham also score 5. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 14 homes run by Dignus Healthcare Limited. 10 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
In May 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from July 2016. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Birmingham, 60% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
