About

Lane House Residential Care Home is in Tamworth, Staffordshire, and has 33 registered beds. It provides residential, dementia and respite care, and supports older people, people with dementia and people with physical disabilities. The building combines historical character with modern facilities. Northgate Healthcare acquired it in 2006, making it the first care home the group bought.

Residents keep the right to make their own decisions, with staff available for support. The dementia provision aims to be a safe, supportive and stimulating environment. Meals are planned to suit a range of dietary needs and preferences, and a varied programme of activities supports physical, mental and social wellbeing. Short-term respite stays can be tailored to a person's circumstances, such as recovery from an illness or operation, or a break for family carers.

The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2023 report, with Good in each of the five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
