Barchester

Barchester Healthcare is a UK care provider with more than 30 years’ experience supporting older people and others with care needs. It operates 260 care homes and hospitals across the country, offering a range of services designed around each person’s needs, preferences and life story. These include residential, nursing, dementia and respite care, as well as mental health services and independent living.

Barchester’s approach centres on getting to know residents as individuals, including their interests, passions and personal histories, so teams can shape care and support to help them live as they choose. The organisation also aims to make everyday life meaningful through activities, hobbies, community connections and trips to places of local interest. Its homes provide hospitality services, including meals, and seek to offer warm, welcoming environments.

Barchester provides information and guidance for people exploring care, with downloadable guides on topics such as dementia, wellbeing and paying for a care home.
