Our registered care homes provide support for residents with varying care needs, ranging from intensive 24-hour service to temporary short-term placements.
They are independently regulated by Care Quality Commission (CQC) to make sure that our services are caring, safe, effective, responsive and well-led.
We currently have five care homes registered with CQC:
- Breakaway Respite Service
- Coxley House
- Helena Road
- Mollands Lane

By working in partnership with our Managing Agents and Commissioners, we're able to provide homes to customers whom we do not deliver direct care or support.
