There’s wonderful news to share at The Orchards.

The Orchards is part of a care group that has been recognised as one of the Top 20 Care Home Groups in the UK for 2026, as rated by carehome.co.uk.

This is a national group award, recognising the combined commitment and hard work of every home within the organisation.

What makes this achievement particularly special is that it’s based entirely on reviews from residents and their families — the people who experience life in the home every single day. Their feedback, their kind words and their trust have made this possible.

At The Orchards, care is about the small, meaningful things that shape each day — a warm welcome at the door, knowing someone’s favourite pudding, offering a steady arm or a listening ear when it’s needed most. It’s this everyday thoughtfulness and teamwork, both within the home and across the wider group, that families so often speak about in their reviews.

Amanda, Home Manager at The Orchards, said:

“We’re incredibly proud to be part of a group recognised in the Top 20 nationally. This award reflects the dedication of our whole team here at The Orchards, as well as our colleagues across the group. To know it’s based on feedback from residents and families makes it especially meaningful. Their trust and support mean so much to us.”

For everyone at The Orchards, this recognition is a shared moment of pride — and a reminder of the importance of creating a place where people feel safe, valued and truly at home.
