Home care in Streetly

Streetly is at the north-east corner of Walsall borough, against Sutton Park and Barr Beacon, with Little Aston and Aldridge as the neighbours people name. The postcode is B74 and the postal town is often Sutton Coldfield, which causes real confusion about who provides care. This page is the Walsall team. The area is largely houses, many of them family homes with one person left in them, and the enquiry is often from an adult child who lives further into Birmingham or who travels for work. Hospitals vary. Walsall Manor is the borough hospital. Good Hope in Sutton Coldfield is where a lot of Streetly patients are actually admitted, so we ask which one rather than assuming.

Carers are employed by Caring Care and managed from Walsall, with rounds that take Streetly seriously rather than as the last stop after Aldridge. You get named carers, a coordinator, and a plan written after a free visit to the house. Streetly homes sometimes have a private garden, stairs, and a routine that includes a club or a church, and the visit has to fit that rather than overwrite it. We do not publish a minimum call length. If the useful help is twenty focused minutes or a longer morning, the assessment is where that is decided, and it can be changed without starting again with a new agency.

We provide personal care, companionship, respite for family carers, and live-in care across Streetly. Live-in care comes up where the house is large and the person is anxious at night. Companionship might be company for a walk towards the park when that is still manageable. We are not a nursing agency and we do not replace the GP or the hospital team. If you have been told Streetly is Birmingham, or Sutton, and you are not sure who to ask, start here. Call 0330 056 3111 and say Streetly. If we are not the right service we will say so. Call 0330 056 3111 and say Streetly, even if the envelope says Sutton Coldfield. The Walsall team will book the free home assessment from there. Nothing is booked until you agree the plan after the visit.
