Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 27 good, 6 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. ?
Kenrick Centre is one of 272 care homes in Birmingham: a 64-bed residential care home in Birmingham, run by Birmingham City Council. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. Most homes in Birmingham are smaller: the median there is 16 beds.
139 other homes in Birmingham share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2026. 86% of homes in Birmingham also score 5. 3 of Birmingham City Council’s 3 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In August 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in December 2019. The typical rating in Birmingham is about 7 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 6 fell below good. The lowest was “planning for the future” (some shortfalls).
