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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Hightrees is one of 272 care homes in Birmingham: a 5-bed residential care home in Birmingham, run by GreenSquareAccord Limited. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Birmingham has 16 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from May 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in January 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 60% of homes in Birmingham. Here is how rating age varies by council.
GreenSquareAccord Limited runs 8 care homes, and all 7 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. Its kitchen was rated 4 for food hygiene in August 2010. 86% of homes in Birmingham score the top mark of 5. Across Birmingham, 77% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
