Part of something proven
Built on an Outstanding foundation
Our Mansfield branch holds a CQC Outstanding rating, the highest possible. The Ripley branch is led by the same management team, follows the same training standards, and delivers care in exactly the same way. We opened in Amber Valley because families here were asking for the same level of support.
Mum was adamant she wasn't leaving her cottage in Belper, and honestly we didn't want her to. The team from Ripley understood that straight away. They matched her with a carer who actually grew up round the corner. They chat about the market and the mills like old friends.
