A small, family-run business with big hearts

Providing bespoke care for 40 years

Nightingales HomeCare is still owned and run by the founders of the company, with the same values and approach that has made our reputation over four decades.

In fact, this feeling of personal investment runs through the whole company, as Nightingales is also employee-owned. So from our carers and managers to our support staff, you can count on exceptional care.

Our carers aren’t just employees. They’re part of something they believe in – with a sense of pride that you’ll see in the warmth, attention to detail and dedication they bring – day in, day out.

Exclusively for private clients

Unlike providers bound by external contracts, we focus exclusively on individual private clients. This means the needs of your loved one always comes first – without external priorities taking precedence. By avoiding block bookings from local authorities, we can dedicate our time to delivering care that’s as personal and flexible as it should be.

We’re all invested in our values

Just like the best of families, we have values we like to live by. This approach has been the foundation of our continued success as a family-owned care company.

We call these values ‘The Nightingales Way’. Large care home chains might call it a ‘philosophy’ or ‘culture’. For us though, it’s just the right way to care – with empathy, calmness, consistency and kindness.

No jargon, no spin – just people doing the right thing, every day.

The Nightingales Way: Our Seven Guiding Principles

Family

We behave like a family, combining fun and laughter with kindness and compassion.

Values

We put what’s right before what’s easy, trusting that success will follow.

Respect

We take time to learn about each individual, and tailor our support to what matters to them.

Integrity

We do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Team

We know that, together, everyone achieves more and makes a greater difference for those we care for.

Focus

We focus on privately funded care, so we have what’s needed to truly make a difference.

Growth

We’re curious, not defensive: we learn from mistakes and keep improving.

Free assessment

We provide a free assessment service in which we come to your home and meet with you and your family to discuss your specific needs and answer any questions you may have. For more information, give us a call on 0800 612 9132.
