Care Homes in Sheffield

Location is key

It's key to pick a care home that feels just right. Whether it's being near family and friends or staying in a familiar area, Sheffield has plenty of options thanks to its great transport connections. You might find just what you're looking for in the heart of the city like Brackenfield Hall, or perhaps something quieter near the Peak District, such as Henleigh Hall Care Home. It's a good idea to think about where visitors will be coming from and check what the transport links are like nearby.

Feeling at home

Think about what makes your loved one happy. Do they enjoy quiet time watching TV or reading? Or are they happier being around people and staying active? Here are a few things to consider:

Gardens and outdoor spaces

If your loved one enjoys gardening or simply loves being outdoors, several care homes in Sheffield encourage residents to get involved with gardening, like Abbey Grange Nursing Home, for example. Or maybe they would like a nice spot to enjoy the afternoon sun. Places like Belmont House might have smaller gardens, but offer lovely areas to sit outside. When you visit a care home, either in person or virtually, try to picture your loved one enjoying the outdoor spaces they have available.

Pets welcome

Many care homes in Sheffield understand how important pets can be and organise visits from friendly animals to cheer up the residents. Some places, like Ascot Lodge Nursing Home, even let personal pets come by, as long as you arrange it first. If your loved one adores animals, it's worth asking about the home's policy on pets.

Activities and days out

It's important for care homes to offer a mix of quiet spaces and areas full of life. Sheffield's care homes are great at this, with facilities like libraries, cinemas and hair salons, as well as lots of group activities. They also try to arrange trips out to places like the Botanical Gardens or a show at the Lyceum Theatre, when they can.
