About Karam Court Care Home
Karam Court Care Home supports older people through residential, dementia, respite and palliative care in a purpose-built home. Its 47 bedrooms have en-suite facilities and are arranged across three floors, with furnished rooms that residents can personalise with belongings from home.
Care plans are tailored to individual needs, and activities coordinators provide mental and physical stimulation. Families can also discuss ongoing arrangements, including whether a resident may continue seeing their own GP. Own GP access depends on the doctor being within the home’s catchment area, which is an important practical point when planning care.

Questions families ask
How much does Karam Court Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Karam Court Care Home 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 Karam Court Care Home 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.
