Our History
Coate Water Care has grown since 1995 into a trusted provider of residential, nursing and dementia care, with nine welcoming homes across Swindon, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. From the beginning, our focus has been on creating safe, comfortable environments where older people receive the highest standard of care.
Chris and Geraldine Smith opened the first Coate Water Care home in Old Town, Swindon, in 1995. From those early days, they set out to build a care service where every detail mattered. Their philosophy of careful, measured growth ensures that quality of life is always the priority — because the small things make the biggest difference.
Today, our dedicated teams of nurses, carers and support staff provide a full range of services, including:
Nursing Care
Residential Care
Dementia Care
Respite & Day Care
Convalescent Support
Each home is maintained to exceptional standards and equipped with up-to-date technology to help us deliver care tailored to every individual’s needs. Families choose Coate Water Care because of our reputation for compassion, professionalism and attention to detail.
“We take enormous satisfaction in providing a comfortable and safe environment for the people we are entrusted with caring for. People choose Coate Water Care for their loved ones for one simple reason, because we care.”
Chris Smith, Co-Founder of
