Introducing Bavani Care Home Limited

Registered with CQC as a residential care home, Bavani Care Home Limited is based in Merton. It supports adults of all ages, with registered specialisms in dementia and mental health conditions.

Its latest CQC rating is Good overall (July 2021). It is one of 33 CQC-registered care homes in and around Worcester Park; 31 of those are rated Good or Outstanding.

Around Merton

Choice is wide here: the 25 nearest other care homes are all within 3 miles, 24 of them rated Good or Outstanding, and the closest is Kelstone Court Nursing Home, under 0.5 miles away.

Every one of the 25 nearest rated care homes has a more recent rating than this one, so ask what has changed since its inspection.

It sits in Cannon Hill ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 20% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS South West London ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (8 min), a pharmacy (8 min), a shop (5 min), a park (4 min), a café (5 min) and a bus stop (2 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

The ratings in context

CQC rated every one of the five key questions Good here, so there is no weak spot in the published ratings.

For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 30 of the 34 other care homes in Merton that CQC has rated.

Likely fees

We estimate Bavani Care Home Limited at £1,500–£1,830 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £78k–£95k.

Ask how often fees rise and whether they go up if care needs increase.

If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Merton Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.

Bavani Care Home Limited over the years
