About Godiva Lodge

Godiva Lodge is a residential care home in Coventry, offering personal care for older adults, including some living with dementia. Further details on the service can be found in the CQC findings below.

Godiva Lodge is a residential care home in Coventry providing personal care for up to 40 older adults, some living with dementia. The CQC rated the service Good overall, finding people felt safe, well cared for and supported by a consistent staff team who knew them well. Staff were recruited safely, trained appropriately, and supported people to take part in activities such as exercise sessions and gardening.

Inspectors did identify some shortfalls, including gaps in records for medicines administered via patches, and monitoring systems that had not always picked up environmental risks such as exposed pipes and unsafely stored topical medicines. Despite these issues, risks to people were generally well assessed, and staff understood their responsibilities to keep people safe and support decisions in their best interests.

Date of inspection: 07 October to 09 October 2025.
Godiva Lodge is a residential care home providing personal care for up to 40 people. The service provides support to older adults some of whom are living with dementia. At the time of our inspection 34 people were living at the home.
The last rating for this service was good (report published 05 September 2018). We undertook this inspection to review the quality of the service and to ensure it met regulations.
Improvement was needed to ensure records for prescribed medicines administered via a patch were completed. Quality and monitoring systems were not always effectively operated or embedded to identify, manage and mitigate some environmental risks. For example, exposed pipes and topical medicines not being stored safely.
Risks associated with people’s care were assessed and staff understood their responsibilities to keep people safe. Staff supported people in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests.
Staff were recruited safely and had completed the training required for their roles. Staff felt valued and supported by the management team and enjoyed working for the provider.
