Grainger House in the Midlands is an enhanced 24/7 supported living service providing specialist care for adults with a primary mental health diagnosis. The service also supports adults with learning disabilities, autism and associated conditions.
Grainger House is located in Cradley Heath, Birmingham. This spacious, modern building contains 17 ensuite rooms, two communal kitchens, a lounge and an activity area.
Northern Healthcare’s clinically informed model promotes stability, recovery, and increased independence within a structured and therapeutic environment. Our specialist clinical nursing team work alongside highly skilled and compassionate support teams to enable us to provide responsive and individualised care and support.
The team provide 24/7 support for people with a variety of mental health conditions. The people we support come to us from a number of different pathways; they may require greater ‘step-down’ support following a period in an acute hospital or forensic service. Our experienced team help the people we support to achieve their next steps, from tasks such as cooking and budgeting to longer-term goals such as gaining employment.

Service Manager
I am the Service Manager at Grainger House, working alongside a well-accomplished and knowledgeable team of Support Workers, Team Leaders and a Clinical Team. I have been with Northern Healthcare, specifically at Grainger House, for 5 years with 3 years of this time focusing on a managerial role within a supported living setting. I have nearly completed my second NVQ within Lead Adult Social Care, which Northern Healthcare has supported me to pursue. The experiences I gather daily allow me to demonstrate that I am caring and compassionate within my role and towards the people we support and the team I work alongside.
Staff knew people well and recognised the value of person-centred care. This meant people’s support was individual and personalised to their needs and preferences. Staff supported people to engage in a range of activities including holidays, paid and voluntary work, socialising, and accessing community activities. (CQC Report 2024)
