Avery Healthcare is one of the UK’s leading providers of high-quality senior living. With over 100 care homes and a growing number of independent living villages, we’re proud to support thousands of residents and families across the country and to be home to an incredible team of dedicated, compassionate professionals.
Founded in 2005 by John Strowbridge and Ian Matthews, Avery was created with a simple purpose: to deliver exceptional care with kindness, dignity, and warmth. Today, under the leadership of CEO Jeremy Richardson, we’re writing a new chapter, one focused on listening, learning and leading with purpose.
We’ve reshaped the way we work so that our care homes and the people within them remain at the centre of every decision. Our Home Managers and frontline teams are empowered to shape the direction of their services — because the best ideas often come from those closest to the people we support.
We believe that how we care is just as important as what we do. That’s why we’ve built a culture around five core values:
Putting people first, always.
Creating a safe space to grow and belong.
Being open, transparent, and real.
Treating everyone with dignity and kindness.
Doing what we say we’ll do and owning it when we don’t.
As Avery grows, our focus on quality, consistency, and care remains. Every new home we open, every innovation we adopt, and every team member we welcome is part of a wider commitment: to create places people are proud to live in and proud to work for. We’re also passionate about making a difference beyond our own homes and supporting local communities.
Choosing a care home is a big decision. That’s why we invite every family to experience the warmth, professionalism, and sense of community that defines Avery. Whether you're looking for short-term respite, specialist care, or a new place to call home, we’re here to help, ready to listen, support, and put the kettle on.
Whether it’s a shared laugh at lunch, a hand to hold during a tough moment, or the joy of rediscovering an old passion — we believe life in an Avery home should be meaningful, fulfilling, and full of connection.
We’re proud of our hospitality-led approach, which blends thoughtful care with lifestyle, wellbeing, and a strong sense of community. Every resident is unique — and so is every day.
