Home care in Pheasey

Pheasey, often called Pheasey Park Farm, is the estate between Great Barr and Barr Beacon, in the B43 district, on the Walsall side of the border with Birmingham. Queslett Road and the roads up towards the Beacon are how families give directions. It is almost entirely houses, many with a parent still in the home the family grew up in. Streetly and Aldridge are a few minutes away, and Great Barr is next door, which is why those names come up on the same phone call. People get in touch when a mother or father is coping less well after a fall or a stay in hospital. Walsall Manor is the borough hospital. A fair number of Pheasey families have instead been to Good Hope in Sutton Coldfield, and we plan around whichever discharge it actually is.

The Walsall team covers Pheasey with Great Barr, not as a leftover at the edge of a Birmingham round. Carers are directly employed and introduced before the first care visit. Because the estate is compact, a stable group of carers is realistic, and that is what we aim for. The coordinator agrees the times, writes down how the person likes things done, and is the one who changes the plan when a clinic appointment appears. We do not set a minimum visit length on this page. Some mornings are a wash and a breakfast. Some are longer because getting dressed, the stairs and the medication together take the time they take.

Personal care, companionship, respite and live-in support are available across Pheasey. Respite is often what a husband or wife asks for first, a few hours that are reliably covered so they can leave the house. Live-in care is the conversation when those hours are no longer bridging the night. We are not nurses. The GP practice remains responsible for medical decisions, and we carry out the support in the care plan. Ring 0330 056 3111 or use the form. If Pheasey is not the right round for the house, which is rare this close to Great Barr, we will tell you. Call 0330 056 3111 and say Pheasey. If the postal address says Great Barr, that is fine. Tell us the road and we will put it on the Pheasey and Great Barr round.
