Welford Healthcare was founded in 2017 with the goal of building a boutique collection of quality care homes across the UK. Our strategy is to grow our business by acquiring mature care homes with quality foundations and strong potential for improvement and by investing in our people and our properties to ensure our homes are always inviting and homely. While we are a growing business, we never lose sight of our primary and enduring purpose: to provide good quality care for vulnerable adults.

As we acquire new homes, we leverage our resources and expertise to ensure that the homes we run always have our residents’ wellbeing at their hearts. Our senior leadership team has extensive experience operating, opening, and acquiring quality care homes with proven track records in regulatory compliance and running commercially successful businesses where meeting the needs and ensuring the happiness of our residents and teams are the cornerstones of our approach.
