Pebble Mill is a purpose-built home welcoming residents with a range of care needs, including residential, nursing and Parkinson's.

Set in the heart of Edgbaston, Bupa’s Pebble Mill Care Home is just two miles from Birmingham city centre and a stone’s throw from Cannon Hill Park and its renowned Arts Centre. The BBC’s fondly-remembered Pebble Mill Studio closed its doors in 2005 to make way for a family of world-class healthcare facilities like Pebble Mill Care Home.

With superior standards of design, build and interior finish, everything you’ll find at Bupa’s Pebble Mill Care Home has been made with residents in mind. From the wide and welcoming corridors and communal spaces to the wheelchair-accessible lifts and stunning interior décor in each of the comfortable en-suite bedrooms.

Each of the 62 bedrooms – many with garden and courtyard views – are fitted with a flat-screen TV and 24-hour call system and are individually air-conditioned, ensuring the preferred temperature all year round. A state-of-the-art salon and nail bar offers a tranquil space for relaxation, a spot of pampering or therapeutic treatment, whilst a collection of comfortable lounges and seating areas provide places to socialise or enjoy quiet contemplation.

The team of nurses and carers has been selected for their natural compassion and real desire to make a difference. In addition to the fantastic surroundings and delicious food, it’s the people who make Pebble Mill such a reassuring and inspiring place.
