Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 24 good, 9 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Sovereign House is one of 77 care homes in Coventry: a 60-bed nursing home in Coventry, run by Minster Care Management Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Coventry, where the typical home has 29 beds.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Minster Care Management Limited runs 27 care homes, and 18 of the 25 rated are Good or Outstanding. Across Coventry, 68% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from June 2025. 98% of homes in Coventry also score 5.
In September 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in January 2023. The typical rating in Coventry is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 9 fell below good. The lowest was “responding to people's immediate needs” (some shortfalls).
