Interested in joining the team?
Founded by Alex Green and Dr. Hannah MacKechnie, Radfield Home Care is a network of award winning and leading home care (domiciliary) businesses providing exceptional care to older people with over 30 years of experience.
Radfield’s purpose is: to help our nation age well by remaining connected to the things that matters most to them.
Radfield started out as a Residential Care Home service in Shrewsbury in 1982 and was a small, friendly family business which was highly regarded in the local community. Hannah and Alex grew up living in the home alongside the residents and therefore have a unique insight into how proper care should be provided and the individual needs of older people.
This ethos and understanding underpins Radfield Home Care’s Caring for our CarersTM pledge and Be There campaign and we strive to bring our clients the same quality of care into their own homes.
Dr Hannah MacKechnie worked at Radfield Residential care home for many years before training as a doctor at Birmingham University. After qualifying she worked in many hospitals across the West Midlands and in Christchurch, New Zealand and on returning to the UK completed her GP training. It was whilst working as a GP that she realised there was a need for a local home care company that put quality at the heart of its business.
Alex Green has also been closely associated with Radfield Residential Home and has a career background in finance having worked for companies such as HSBC and Halifax. In recent years he has been working for several charitable organisations around the country before settling back to Shropshire and becoming involved in the family business. Alex gained his Registered Managers Award qualification in 2008.
