Compare Care Homes In Reading

Reading’s blend of historic parks, excellent transport links to London and across Berkshire, and brilliant access to healthcare facilities, including the Royal Berkshire Hospital and a wide network of GP practices, make it a reassuring location to find the right care home for you or a loved one. At Lottie, we recognise the emotional nature of finding care. This is a big step, and we’re here to help you navigate it through expert advice and thoughtfully reviewed listings from trusted providers like Care UK, Barchester Healthcare, and Avery Healthcare.

What’s great about Reading care homes is the wide range of care needs that are catered for. Sonning Gardens is one of the best homes in the local area, with an overall ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and focuses on residential and nursing care, including for those living with complex conditions and cognitive conditions such as dementia. Other homes provide specialist palliative care - offering sensitive support for individuals living with life-limiting conditions - and short-term convalescent care, ideal for recovery after surgery or illness.

Care homes here prioritise daily activities that help residents feel engaged and included. Some of the most popular activities at Maitland House are gentle fitness sessions, cooking classes, arts and crafts, and seasonal events. Residents also enjoy spending their time in premium facilities such as on-site cinema rooms, tranquil gardens, cafés and restaurants, beauty salons, and even spa therapy rooms.

For peace of mind, we only partner with homes that are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and have been vetted by our in-house Care Experts. If you need help narrowing down your options, our Care Experts will create a personalised shortlist of Reading care homes, suitable for your specific requirements.
