Greensleeves is a CQC-rated Outstanding, women-only care home in Crawley, West Sussex. We offer residential care, dementia care and respite care for older women, in a 34-bed home where everyone is known by name, routine and personality.

Why choose a women-only care home?

Moving into a care home is a big step, and feeling comfortable matters. Many families tell us that a women-only home feels more familiar and reassuring for their mum, gran or aunt.

  • Comfort and privacy. Personal care and everyday life feel more relaxed in a home shared only with other women.
  • Friendship and companionship. Shared life experiences and interests help friendships form naturally, which can mean a great deal to women who lived alone before.
  • A calm, familiar atmosphere. Families often tell us they value the settled, supportive feel of the home.

Being women-only is part of who we are at Greensleeves, not an add-on.

Care for older women in Crawley

  • Residential care – day-to-day support in a warm, homely setting, with life continuing as normally as possible.
  • Dementia care – calm routines, familiar faces and activities shaped around each person.
  • Respite care – short stays that give family carers a break and give residents a chance to try the home.

A team that knows each resident

With around one member of staff to every four residents during the busiest daytime hours, our team has time for conversation as well as care. Two dedicated activity staff and an outings team member plan music, creativity, reminiscence, local trips and quiet one-to-one time.

“A good day is made of small, familiar things done well.”
