About Sparrowfields
Sparrowfields supports people with learning disabilities through residential care, with wider provision covering mental health, acquired brain injury and complex care. Individual care plans record each resident’s preferences and help staff support independence, dignity and personal choice.
Residents may join activity programmes adapted to their interests and feedback, although participation is voluntary. Chefs prepare varied meals with rotating menus and alternative options, while medical, cultural and religious dietary requirements are included in care plans. Medical, cultural or religious dietary requirements can therefore be recorded within individual care planning.

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