About SignHealth Polestar
SignHealth Polestar supports deaf people through psychological therapy, domestic abuse support and wider health and wellbeing services. Its psychological therapy service is delivered to deaf adults in British Sign Language by therapists who are fluent BSL users.
The organisation also provides advice and support for deaf adults and young people experiencing domestic abuse or sexual violence, including prevention workshops and closed groups for deaf survivors. This makes the service particularly relevant where communication access and specialist deaf awareness are essential.

Questions families ask
How much does SignHealth Polestar cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask SignHealth Polestar 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 SignHealth Polestar 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.
