Corvedale Care

Corvedale Care, based in Shropshire, is a leading provider of specialist residential, educational and therapeutic care services to young people aged 10 to17. Corvedale Care has built up strong ‘preferred provider’ relationships with over 80 Local Authorities.

The heart of Corvedale Care is its crisis care home, an adventure activities facility on the Welsh borders. Youngsters with care needs spend up to 12 weeks here before returning home; transferring to a Corvedale Care residential care home, where they continue to receive specialist training and tailored therapeutic support; or moving to an alternative placement.

Following the success of Corvedale Care, Care UK is examining ways of growing this area of our services. As well as optimising capacity in existing facilities, we are looking to expand our care for young people into other regions of the UK.
