About 7-9 Downing Close
7-9 Downing Close is registered as a residential care home without nursing for people with learning disabilities. The available business details establish its care category and registration, but do not describe a detailed service offer, activities programme, facilities or practical arrangements for residents.

Questions families ask
How much does 7-9 Downing Close cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask 7-9 Downing Close for its weekly fee. As a guide, Solihull council paid on average £1,139 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask 7-9 Downing Close whether it takes residents funded by Solihull council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
