Covid 19 Policy

As England’s largest not-for-profit provider of care and housing to older people, the safety and wellbeing of those living and working in our care homes and retirement communities has always been our priority – never more so than today.

And while the way we do things has changed slightly due to COVID-19, we continue to safely welcome new residents, with all the processes and procedures in place following advice from government and our regulators, to ensure everyone has a home where they can love living in later life. Please see our website or speak to our care home for the latest information.
