Life at our homes

Our award winning care homes will change your view of care homes for good. Friendship, meaningful activity, expert care and bright, safe and hygienic surroundings.

Bedtime stories

Children’s stories are often the first key to unlocking our imaginations and nurturing a lifelong love of reading. Unfortunately, we know not every child is lucky enough to have a grandparent to read to them, so we wanted to provide an alternate experience for families to enjoy. That’s why across the UK team members and residents are sharing their love of reading with their local communities.
