A care home exclusively for the Armed Forces community.
Situated on the edge of Southam, a small market town in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, Galanos House is set within beautiful grounds, designed by the residents, including a memorial garden and a new bowling green. The residents’ shared experiences in the Armed Forces create a truly unique and supportive community, where everyone looks out for one another.

Welcome from Jo-Anne
“At Galanos House, we recognise the importance of shared experiences. It’s where our residents can form special bonds and make new like-minded friends. My team and I are privileged to look after those who have given so much to our country and are very proud that our residents feel so at home here.”
“We’re pleased to be able to offer both nursing and residential care in the main home and support for people living with dementia in Poppy Lodge.”
“The social side to life is really important and our Wellbeing Team makes sure that there’s always lots to enjoy and look forward to. The Community Hub with its café is a great place to meet up with friends and family over coffee and a slice of cake.”
Jo-Anne Wilson MBE, Galanos House Manager

Application process
Galanos House is available for ex-service personnel and their families. If you are unsure whether you or someone close to you is eligible, please get in touch on 01926 812 185 or via email.
We know that care home applications can feel daunting, but our team are on hand to support you every step of the way. To register your interest or to find out more about Galanos House and the application process, please call 01926 812 185 or send an email.
If you plan to move into our care home immediately or within the next three months, you will need to complete an application form. Once your application has been received, a needs assessment will take place to help us assess your care needs. This may take place at home or we can also visit you in hospital, providing an opportunity for you to ask any further questions. Your application is dependent upon confirmation of eligibility and the outcome of your care needs assessment. If successful, we will confirm in writing and arrange the next steps, including your arrival date with you.
In some circumstances, we are also able to provide support for those under the age of 65 years seeking care or rehabilitation support. However, we recommend contacting your chosen care home for further information.
