About Ann Marie Howes Centre
Residential care at Ann Marie Howes Centre supports older people and adults with dementia, learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. The centre is registered as a care home without nursing and also supports younger adults.
The service is used for assessment placements after hospital care, helping families and professionals understand ongoing support needs. Its setting includes clear internal signage and a ground-floor café, with communal areas supporting social daily life. Assessment placements after hospital care make the centre relevant when a longer-term care decision still needs to be considered.

Questions families ask
How much does Ann Marie Howes Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ann Marie Howes Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, Birmingham council paid on average £918 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 Ann Marie Howes Centre whether it takes residents funded by Birmingham 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.
