Source: Solihull Council, fee rates and payment schedules 2026/27, effective 1 April 2026; we last checked it on 10 August 2026. We do not print an estimate of what Harper Fields charges a self-funding family, because no such figure has been published and we will not invent one. The council rate is the firm number to negotiate against.

How the inspectors rated it

Good

The Care Quality Commission rated Harper Fields Good when it last published an assessment, in May 2018.

That was 8.3 years ago. Managers move on, owners sell up, staff turn over. A rating this old describes the home as it was in 2018 — not as it is this month. Three questions worth asking on the phone: who is the manager now, how long have they been in post, and how many of the care staff have been there more than a year?

What the same operator runs elsewhere

Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited runs 93 care homes for older people in England. Of the 91 carrying a published CQC rating, 73 are rated Good or Outstanding, 17 require improvement, and 1 are rated Inadequate.

A pattern across an operator’s homes tells you something a single inspection cannot. It is a fair question to put to the manager: what has changed across the group since those inspections?

Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask Harper Fields directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.

Ask about fees

Would the council pay towards this?

Whether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.

Where to get advice you can rely on

We publish prices and register data. We are not an advice service, and for the decisions that follow these are the sources worth your time — all free, none of them selling you anything.

Age UK — Paying for a care home The clearest free explanation of the means test, the 12-week property disregard and deferred payment agreements. Their factsheet 10 goes further than almost anything else published. GOV.UK — charging circular, 2026/27 The primary source for this year’s figures: capital limits held again at £23,250 and £14,250, and the personal expenses allowance uprated by 3.8%. NHS — paying for your own care Written for people who will not qualify for council help: whether a home has to be sold, what equity release really involves, and which benefits are not means-tested. MoneyHelper — ways to pay care home fees Government-backed and impartial. Also explains what a specialist care fees adviser does and when paying for one is worth it. Care Act 2014 — statutory guidance What councils are actually obliged to do. Annex A covers choice of accommodation and top-up payments, the part families are most often talked past. Care Quality Commission The regulator itself. Every rating here comes from its public register, and the full inspection report is always worth reading rather than the headline word alone.
