Rushall is the village north-east of Walsall, with Shelfield on the Aldridge side of it. St Michael's church, the canal at Daw End, and the roads between Pelsall, Walsall Wood and Aldridge are the landmarks. Postcodes are mainly WS4, running into WS9 towards Aldridge. The two names belong together for care, because families move between them and the rounds are the same. Houses are village terraces, cottages and newer estates on the edge of the green. People call when a parent is determined to stay in the village and the family can see that shopping, washing and meals are becoming a struggle, or when a stay at Walsall Manor Hospital has made coming home the thing that needs organising.

This is the Walsall team, the same office that covers Aldridge and Pelsall. Carers are directly employed. Village visits fail when they are tagged onto a town-centre list, so Rushall and Shelfield are planned as their own stretch of the day, with times the travel can actually keep. You are told who is coming. The assessment happens in the home and includes the practical details, such as a key safe, a dog, or a neighbour who already looks in at lunchtime and should not be replaced by a carer arriving at the same moment. If we are running late, we ring.

Personal care, companionship, respite and live-in care are all available. Companionship in Rushall is often a walk as far as the church or the canal on days when that is still what the person wants, and a quiet hour indoors when it is not. Respite gives a husband or wife a reliable gap in the week. Live-in care suits houses where the nights are the problem and the village feels a long way from help. We do not provide nursing. Your GP stays in charge of medical care. To ask for an assessment, call 0330 056 3111 or send the form. Mention Rushall or Shelfield so the coordinator opens the right round. Call 0330 056 3111 and say Rushall or Shelfield rather than just Walsall. The assessment is free, at the house, and you do not have to go ahead.
