Stoneleigh Care Homes · West Midlands & Staffordshire
Specialist residential care for adults
whose needs are complex.
Four homes in Dudley, Stourbridge and Rugeley supporting adults with learning disabilities, EMI dementia, acquired brain injury, Down's syndrome, and the behavioural and mental-health needs that come alongside. Long-stay, respite, and daycare — placements coordinated with local councils and social services.
Inside one of our Dudley homes — small lounges, familiar furniture, staff who know the people they look after by name.
What we take on
The placements other homes
often can't hold.
We're a small specialist provider, not a generic care-home group. The thread running through every home is the kind of need that takes time, training, and a settled team to support well.
Learning disabilities & Down's syndrome
Long-term residential support shaped around the person, not the diagnosis.
EMI dementia & Alzheimer's
Calm, familiar environments for people living with advanced memory loss.
Acquired brain injury
Rehabilitation-aware residential care after hospital or specialist discharge.
Challenging behaviour
Trained teams holding placements that other homes have struggled to keep.
Physical & mental disability
Long-stay residential support for adults with co-existing physical and mental health needs.
Substance misuse recovery
Stable placements for adults stepping down from acute or treatment settings.
Our homes
Four homes, one approach.
Each home is small enough that staff and residents know each other by name. Together they cover Dudley, Stourbridge, and Rugeley — close enough that families can visit, far enough apart to suit a range of placements and council areas.

Philosophy of care
The opposite of a unit.
A home, in the proper sense.
Specialist care can quietly drift toward feeling clinical — a building organised around shifts and risk assessments more than around the people who live in it. We've spent years pulling in the other direction. Small lounges. Domestic kitchens. Staff who stay long enough to know the rhythms of the household. Routines built around the residents rather than the rota.
That doesn't mean less rigour — every placement is supported by a person-centred plan, multidisciplinary review, and close working with community teams. It means rigour shaped to look and feel like a home, because that's where people get better.

Why families choose us
What makes Stoneleigh
different.
Most enquiries come to us by referral — from social workers, discharge teams, or families who've heard about us from another family. Here's what they tell us they value, in their own words edited only for length.
- 01
Trained for the harder placements
EMI dementia, acquired brain injury, behavioural needs, and learning disabilities aren't add-ons we accept. They're what our staff are trained for from the first shift.
- 02
Single keyworker, single named manager
Every resident is allocated a keyworker who anchors day-to-day support, and a registered manager families can reach directly. No call-centres, no triage queues.
- 03
Coordinated with councils and clinical teams
We work openly with Dudley, Walsall, and Staffordshire councils' commissioning teams, with discharging hospital teams, and with community LD, mental-health, and recovery services.
- 04
Plans you can read
Care plans are written so families can actually read them — clear about what we'll do, what we need from clinical teams, and what we'll escalate.
If you're a family
From the first enquiry,
here's how it works.
Most families come to us during a hard week — after a hospital admission, a placement breakdown, or a long search that hasn't found the right fit. We try to make the first conversation feel like one.
First contact
An honest conversation, no pressure
Either a phone call or a written enquiry. We'll ask what's prompted the search, what's been tried, and what's not working — and tell you straight whether we think Stoneleigh is the right fit.
Assessment
We meet your relative, you visit a home
An assessment by our registered manager, ideally where your relative currently is — hospital, family home, or another placement. You're welcome to visit any of our four homes before you decide.
Moving in
Settled, not shoehorned
A planned move with a transition plan, keyworker allocated before arrival, and the first review at four to six weeks once routines have settled.
Ready to talk
Most enquiries start with a five-minute
scoping call.
Tell us about your relative, what's been tried, and what isn't working. We'll be straight about whether Stoneleigh is the right fit — and if it isn't, we'll point you at people who might be.
