The Friendly Inn Residential Care Home opened in 1999 following a careful and sympathetical conversion from a Public House to provide extremely high quality accommodation.
The home is located on the edge of a residential development overlooking green belt land with meandering stream and woodland areas. The local villages of Marston Green and Chelmsley Wood are just a short walk away.
The home has 30 bedrooms all with en-suite facilities having undergone various extensions and improvements over the years. Of these, 24 bedrooms enjoy the comfort and reliability of underfloor heating. All bedrooms enjoy pleasant views of either the garden, courtyard or surrounding greenbelt areas while some ground floor rooms have their own access straight into the communal gardens.
The Friendly Inn provides a secure and safe environment for residents, who are free to access all communal areas of the home enabling them to choose how and where they spend their time with the reassurance that staff are at hand to provide the level of support appropriate to them.
