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. ?
Run by Aston Transitional Care Limited, Willow House is a residential care home in Birmingham with 6 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after 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.
