What makes us special

Deliver care and support to older people for over 75 years, our experienced approach places great importance on the spirituality of those we care for, as well as their physical health and emotional wellbeing. We create opportunities for older people - of all faiths and none - to gain peace, fulfilment, and meaning in later life.

Three key factors help to make us the special organisation that we are:

1. Compassionate care and respect for each individual

The entire MHA team - our staff members, volunteers, and leaders - are motivated by a vocation to care. We show respect for the uniqueness of each individual.

Every MHA care service is supported by a dedicated Chaplain to provide a listening presence, companionship, and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs.

Focusing on the individual wishes of all care home residents, we pride ourselves in being able to facilitate personal and memorable opportunities and activities through our unique Seize The Day initiative. 

Our specialist dementia care recognises each person as an individual. We provide the highest quality care to preserve dignity, treat people with respect, and promote independence.

Whilst our dementia care homes also provide award-winning music therapy to help alleviate the isolation and symptoms that are experienced by those living with dementia and in 2021, we developed our Music Strategy. 

2. Nurturing a person’s body, mind, and spirit

Our attention to the spirit and personality of those we serve sets MHA apart from other care providers.

Instilled in our values and behaviours, inspired by Christian Concern, we are uniquely able to understand and deliver the need for spiritual sustenance, bringing meaning and purpose to life.

3. Professional standards

MHA is operated with effective governance in order to deliver a service that exceeds the expectations of our 18,000 residents and members.

As one of the very few not-for-profit care providers, we have the privilege to reinvest any surplus to ensure the care and support we provide is among the very best in the UK.
