Established in 1999, we’ve developed a range of health and care services for adults living with complex needs arising from dementia, learning disabilities, neuro-disabilities including brain injuries, mental health conditions and physical disabilities.

Through our values of fun, integrity, success, responsiveness and teamwork, we’re proud of the outcomes we enable people to achieve.

At Exemplar Health Care, our care is different. Our 50+ care homes provide welcoming and supportive Nurse-led environments for those whose needs are often ‘too complex’ for mainstream care providers and who may have experienced one or more failed placements.

The people we support would often be in a hospital or higher acuity setting if not placed with us. Our care enables them to stay in the community and reduces hospital and secure facility admission.

We’re opening new homes over the coming years to bring our much-needed services to more locations.

 

Care services

Our highly trained team of 5000 colleagues support over 1000 people across 50+ services, living with over 50 different diagnoses including:

  • brain injuries and strokes

  • dementia

  • learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorder

  • mental health conditions

  • neuro-disabilities including Huntington’s disease and parkinson’s

  • physical disabilities.
