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. ?
The Limes CHN is one of 272 care homes in Birmingham: a 76-bed nursing home in Birmingham, run by First Care Services Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Birmingham, where the typical home has 16 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. First Care Services Limited runs 2 care homes, and all 2 rated are Good or Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2025. 86% of homes in Birmingham also score 5. In Birmingham, 77% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
Its CQC rating, from January 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in April 2018, was the same. 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.
