Your guide to the best care homes around Bath.
Special offer brought to you by Lottie!
Known for its Georgian charm and cultural heritage, Bath offers a thoughtful mix of care homes to suit different needs and preferences - from affordable residential care to homes offering specialist dementia and nursing support for complex needs on a permanent or short-term basis.
Bath’s care homes often reflect the city’s architectural elegance, with light-filled lounges, private gardens, and thoughtfully designed interiors. Homes like Bridgemead offer a mix of nursing and residential support, with several also catering for more advanced care needs such as compassionate palliative or Parkinson’s care.
Many of the top-rated homes in the city - including those with ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Good’ Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings such as Shockerwick House - also provide spa-style bathrooms, hair and beauty salons, cinema rooms, and garden rooms that encourage connection and calm. And for couples wanting to stay together, some homes even offer dedicated suites or interconnecting rooms. Meanwhile, residents are encouraged to remain active through regular activities, such as painting workshops, baking groups, and seated exercise sessions.
The city’s historic charm further adds to its appeal. From stunning Georgian properties to the idyllic green spaces of Royal Victoria Park and the Botanical Gardens, Bath offers peaceful places for outings and visits with loved ones. The Royal United Hospital provides strong medical support, backed up by several local GP practices and pharmacies.
