Colten Care, which has 12 homes in Dorset, has been ranked in the top 20 large care home groups in the UK by Carehome.co.uk based on more than 2,000 independent ratings from residents, families, and community contacts.
The provider's group status was boosted by its Chichester home, Wellington Grange, achieving a maximum 10-out-of-10 score. Other homes, including Newstone House in Sturminster Newton and Belmore Lodge in Lymington, also received individual top 20 ratings. The Dorset homes Bourne View in Poole, Avon Cliff in Bournemouth, and Amberwood House in Ferndown all achieved 10-out-of-10.
Mark Aitchison, Colten Care chief executive, said: "Our consistently high group score has now given us ten years at the top. "And having ten homes at 10/10 further strengthens our claim to be the UK’s highest-rated care home group for our size." The provider's accomplishment is particularly noteworthy given that all 21 Colten Care homes are registered for nursing care and four are dedicated to dementia care.
A Newstone House resident's daughter said: "Newstone staff were simply incredible...
I would be very confident to recommend Newstone to any family trying to select a care home.".
