Sandwell Council has given the green light for the changes to the vacant premises off Chance Drive in Smethwick, which is expected to create around 30 full-time jobs.
The building has stood empty since being placed on the open market by Sandwell Council in 2013 and has become a target for vandalism.
Dignus Healthcare purchased the premises and now has the go-ahead to extend it from an eight-bedroom home for children into a 20-bedroom home for disabled adults.
