Compare Care Homes In Crawley

The wide choice of care homes in Crawley and nearby makes it an excellent choice for later-life care. Many of these focus on residential care, which is aimed at those needing daily support with personal hygiene-related tasks, along with medication management and mobility support. Not only does Greensleeves offer this support, including for dementia residents, but it also has an ‘Outstanding’ rating, the highest available.

Other local homes like Deerswood Lodge are purpose-built with older adults in mind, packed with desirable features like hair and beauty salons, quaint cafés and bistro-style restaurants, stunning garden spaces, bright dining rooms, and activity rooms. Some also accept pets, subject to an assessment, perfect if you wish to continue living with your furry friend in care.

The cost of care in Crawley is around £1,500 to £1,700 a week, but this varies, depending on what type of care you require. If your loved one is living with complex care needs, it will typically be more expensive, as registered nurses and expert carers are on hand 24/7. For these residents, additional support is often available at nearby healthcare facilities such as Crawley Hospital and East Surrey Hospital, including in the event of an emergency.

Activities are varied and tend to be based around residents’ personal interests. These might include ballroom dancing, reminiscence sessions, or visits from local nursery or school children. Many homes also host themed weeks, such as “Around the World” food festivals or storytelling afternoons linked to national holidays or seasonal events.
