Care Homes

We know family can come from anywhere. It’s our privilege to care for over 7,000 residents across the UK – treating each and every person as if they were part of our family.

A caring nature makes all the difference. Everything our people do comes from the heart and has remarkable results. Care can be physically and emotionally demanding but that's what makes it so rewarding.

We’re proud to have been awarded Care Home Provider of the Year at the 2022 Leader in Care Awards. Our industry-leading use of digital tools and electronic care planning, exceptional employee care, and overall world-beating level of care helped us secure this much sought after title.
