Plans are underway to significantly expand Warrens Hall Nursing Home in Tividale, Oldbury, potentially nearly doubling its capacity. Superior Care Midlands has submitted an application to Sandwell Council requesting permission to extend the facility located on Oakham Road.
The proposal involves demolishing two adjacent bungalows to make room for a three-storey extension. This new structure would add 32 additional en-suite bedrooms to the existing 40-bed care home, along with four further rooms, greatly increasing the home’s accommodation capacity.
Beyond the physical expansion, the project is poised to generate 30 new full-time equivalent jobs, enhancing employment opportunities within the local community.

The planning application highlights that the redevelopment would “significantly improve” the current facilities and ensure the future financial sustainability of the care home. While a similar extension was approved in 2008, the work was never carried out.
A statement accompanying the proposal emphasizes that the redevelopment aims to deliver specialist care and senior living support within a comfortable, community-oriented environment. It stresses the importance of maintaining residents’ quality of life and their ties to the local area.
Moreover, the scheme is designed to meet the growing demand for quality care accommodations and secure the home’s long-term viability. The development will not only be a valuable community resource but also contribute positively to the local economy through job creation.
