Types of care

Elderly Frail

We care for older people whose physical infirmity prevents them remaining at home and who require 24 hour nursing care.

Elderly Mentally Frail

Many of our purpose built homes are designed to care for older people with dementia or specific disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease.

Younger Person Units

Small specialist units exist in the London area and Swindon. All are purpose built and equipped as needed with the facility for a ceiling mounted hoist system to ensure ease of movement.

Early Onset Dementia

Younger people suffering from dementia have specialist care needs. Our specialist unit is designed to compensate for any cognitive impairment and our staff are trained to encourage service users to continue with their preferred activities of daily living in a domestic and non-institutionalized atmosphere. Respite care is also available in this unit.

Respite Care

Respite care is short term care designed to give carers a much needed break so that they can go on holiday in the knowledge their loved one is being well cared for.

Philosophy of Care

We offer our residents the opportunity to enhance their quality of life by providing a safe yet stimulating environment in which they can maximise their potential through a person centred service delivered by experienced caring staff.

The company is happy to supply a copy of our Philosophy of Care and Residents Charter.

Homes Portfolio

Currently the Company has a portfolio of eleven purpose built Care Homes offering 900 beds. All are designed to ensure residents privacy and sense of dignity are respected. Accommodation is also arranged in small independent living units with their own dining room, servery and lounge area. This modern flexible accommodation close to local amenities is very popular and you would be very welcome to view a suitable Care Home.

Much of our work is undertaken in collaboration with other partners from Health and Social Care backgrounds and some of our beds are block contracted with Primary Care Trusts and Local Authorities.

Our current homes are located at Dorking, Greenford, Watford, Swindon, Eastbourne, Maidstone, Bristol, Witney, Ipswich, Hayes and Windsor and future homes are planned in Blandford, Poole and Southampton.
