About Fountain Court
Fountain Court supports older people, younger adults and people living with dementia or mental health needs in a residential care setting. It is registered as a care home without nursing, with its scope also covering younger adults and people with mental health needs.
The service is relevant to families seeking accommodation and personal support for people whose needs fall within those registered groups. Its provision is residential rather than nursing care. The setting offers a registered care environment for ongoing support, while no specific activity programme, treatment service or additional facility is established for this address.

Questions families ask
How much does Fountain Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fountain Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sandwell council paid on average £1,034 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 Fountain Court whether it takes residents funded by Sandwell 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.
