About Colten Care
We’re an award-winning, family-owned, independent care home group, with an outstanding reputation within the industry thanks to our amazing people and our focus on keeping the resident at the heart of everything we do.
We challenge the stereotype of a care home, that’s why all 21 of our nursing homes are rated at least good and 7 are outstanding by the CQC, our national regulator.
For the 8th year running, we’ve been named as one of carehome.co.uk Top 20 Care Home Groups in the UK, by the residents and their families who have first-hand experience of the care and support being given at our care homes.
Colten Care is an expanding family-owned business with 21 beautifully appointed care homes across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and West Sussex.
Our established services are all rated as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we provide residential, general nursing, dementia and short-stay care.
We are a prestigious, award-winning healthcare provider that champions the latest approaches to person-centred care. Each of our homes has a distinct character while retaining that all-important sense of ‘home.’ We play an active role in furthering dementia friendly communities as part of our work.
Our aims are simple: to be recognised as both the care home ‘provider of choice’ and ‘employer of choice.’
