Questions families ask
Can they visit me before arranging care?
Yes. They can visit the person, or the person can tour their flagship site, to discuss suitable care before deciding.
Can family and friends visit whenever they like?
Yes. They operate an open visiting policy so residents, relatives and friends can visit at convenient times.
How much does The Pines cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Pines for its weekly fee. As a guide, Solihull council paid on average £1,139 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.
