About St Joseph's

Here at St Joseph's, we provide residential care for older people in the heart of Coleshill, Warwickshire. We are a care home that genuinely feels like a home, and that matters to us enormously. The people who live here are at the centre of everything we do, and we work hard every day to make sure they feel comfortable, respected and valued. We specialise in older person care, residential care, dementia care and respite care, which means we are well placed to support a wide range of needs. Whether someone is joining us on a short term basis to recover or give a family carer a break, or whether they are making St Joseph's their permanent home, we aim to provide the same level of warmth and attentiveness throughout. For those living with dementia, we understand how important familiarity and routine can be. Our approach is calm and person centred, taking time to understand each individual's history, preferences and personality so that we can offer support that feels right for them rather than simply following a one size fits all approach. We are proud that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good. We see that as an honest reflection of the care we provide day to day, and we are always looking at how we can build on that further. Our team genuinely gets to know the people in our care and their families. We encourage family involvement and want relatives to feel welcome and kept informed at all times. Open, honest communication is something we take seriously. If you are considering care for yourself or a loved one and would like to find out more about life at St Joseph's, please do get in touch. We would be happy to show you around and answer any questions you might have.

More about the care at St Joseph's

Respite Care at St Joseph's

Respite beds are best secured with plenty of notice, since the obvious dates disappear quickly. Send clothes for the whole stay, an up to date prescription list and one or two familiar things for the bedside, remembering that a week or two is the typical minimum. Booking a short stay at St Joseph's first is also a sensible way to test the place before any permanent decision.

Dementia Care at St Joseph's

Where memory is failing, the environment should carry some of the load through clear signage, short routes and a predictable order to the day. Staff who know the condition tend to read the early signs of agitation and change course rather than press on. St Joseph's is registered for dementia care alongside residential care. Ask how the team responds when a resident becomes distressed, what happens if someone keeps trying to get out, and how the approach adapts as dementia progresses. It is also worth asking who reviews the care plan, how often, and how families are kept in the loop.

Residential Care at St Joseph's

A place in a residential home buys meals, laundry, help with washing and dressing and a day with some shape to it. What it does not buy is a nurse on the premises, which is the single clearest difference from nursing care. St Joseph's in Coleshill is registered for residential care and was rated good when inspected in March 2023. Weekly charges across the West Midlands usually sit between £850 and £1150, and Warwickshire pays less than that for the beds it funds. Ask what the activity programme looks like, how food choices are managed, and what the home would do if a resident's needs became clinical.

Older Person Care at St Joseph's

Personal care done gently is the whole of it for many older residents, covering a wash, clean clothes, tablets at the right time and someone to talk to. St Joseph's is registered for older person care, which takes in that routine daily support along with meals and mobility help. Anyone visiting should ask how the day is structured, how far it bends for individual habits, and how medication is handled and recorded. The overnight picture deserves its own question about staff numbers and response times. Weekly fees in the West Midlands typically range from £850 to £1150, while Warwickshire usually pays about £680 to £820, leaving a shortfall that someone must cover.
