Care Homes in Coventry

Location is key

Think about where friends and family will be visiting from, then speak to the care homes directly as they can advise you about the public transport options or local car parking. However, as transport links are good in Coventry and with 64 care homes to choose from, you should be able to find one to suit your location. There are several care homes located centrally, including the Belvedere Park Nursing Home, which is a 10-minute walk from the railway station. Or for only for a short drive or bus journey there are a number of beautiful care homes with a little more green space available, for example the Godiva Lodge located near Stoke Heath which has a handy bus stop directly opposite.

Feeling at home

Moving into a care home can feel daunting, so think about what would help make your loved one feel settled and at home. Many care homes in Coventry allow you to move in your own furniture to the room or add personal touches, so be sure to think about what your loved one may like to take with them.

Gardens and outdoor spaces

While your loved one may not be a keen gardener, do they enjoy sitting at their window watching the wildlife outside? Then perhaps finding a care home with a garden room is important. Over 50 of the care homes in Coventry have some outdoor garden space available, including Harper Fields in Balsall which has some lovely rooms overlooking their landscaped gardens. For those who love to potter in the garden there are homes like Fairfield which encourage residents to help contribute to the garden tasks and help grow fresh fruit and vegetables that can go on to be used in the kitchens.

Pets welcome

Does your loved one have a pet they are worried about leaving when moving into a care home? We recommend looking into the 30+ pet-friendly care homes in Coventry. Many allow pets to move in with their owner and others, like Victoria Park which allow pets to visit frequently.

Activities and days out

All care homes in Coventry work hard to make sure the residents feel at home and can continue with any hobbies they had prior to moving in - or help them discover something new! Care homes like Allesley Hall offer a number of activities and facilities, including an on-site hair salon, music therapy, bakery classes, quizzes and a variety of arts and crafts. Our advice is to think about what makes your loved one happy and be sure to ask any care homes you are interested in how they would help accommodate this.
