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. ?
The home changed owner in May 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Willowbrook is one of 272 care homes in Birmingham: a 77-bed nursing home in Birmingham, run by Priory CC148 Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Birmingham has 16 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In February 2024, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That is down from Outstanding in December 2018. Ratings in Birmingham are typically about 7 years old, which makes this one newer than most.
The home changed owner in May 2026. 139 other homes in Birmingham share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2025. That is true of 86% of homes in Birmingham. CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
