  • About Us
RAYNER HOUSE CARE

Our History

Rayner House Care was set up in 1984 by local businessman Bill Rayner who wanted to provide affordable care for the residents of Solihull.

He worked with another Solihull businessman, Mr Shepherdson, to realise his vision, as well as Solihull Council, who provided the land, and Solihull Rotary Club, who set up a trust fund.

TRUSTEE STATEMENT

A Board of Trustees, who work on an entirely voluntary basis, has overall responsibility for Rayner House and for policy decisions.

The Chairman of Trustees is Mrs Carol McNidder who joined the Trustee Board in 2021 and was elected Chairman in September 2022.

Carol moved to Solihull in 1976 when she married her husband Brian, she has two sons and three grandchildren and is grateful the families have remained in Solihull. She worked as a Community Pharmacist in and around Solihull until her ‘retirement’ two years ago but still keeps her hand in doing locum work.

She is a volunteer for SSAFA and a school governor.

The Chairman of the Trustees is registered with the Care Quality Commission as the “registered home provider”.
The Care Manager is the “registered manager”. They are responsible for the day-to-day well-being of residents and general running of our services.

A Business Manager deals with all financial, property and resource matters.

The Trustees names are on display in the home’s reception area. Our receptionist will be pleased to help you if you need more information.

Making a Donation or Leaving a Legacy

As a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing the very best standards of care, we do not seek any financial donations, but are always incredibly grateful for them.

Any donations or legacies we receive are invested into our facilities and services so we can continue to offer the highest standards of care at the most affordable prices.

Our trustees & management team

Our team of local, experienced, and professional trustees and management staff are responsible for our high care standards at Rayner House care home in Solihull.

They know exactly what safeguarding measures need to be in place, how a care home should be run, and how to achieve the incredibly high standards that the Care Quality Commission looks for.

Our Catering staff

Our kitchen staff and chefs spend a lot of time devising interesting menus, allowing for choice, and preparing nutritious and tasty meals for our care home in Solihull residents and day centre visitors.

Any specific dietary requirements can be catered for with complete safety.

Care staff

Every member of our care team is employed directly by ourselves, including our relief bank of workers for holiday and sick cover as we believe our residents should have the comfort of seeing the same people all the time, who know their needs and their personality, rather than constantly meeting strangers.

Every Rayner House resident is allocated their own keyworker – this gives both people the opportunity to develop a close relationship, and for our care workers to be really able to understand the challenges and needs each resident faces.  

Our domestic team

Our cleaners work tirelessly to make sure Rayner House Care is kept clean, tidy, and sterilised.

"Dedicated to Wellbeing".
