Professional Referrals

MHA works closely with local authorities, NHS, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and other professional organisations to ensure older people across England, Scotland and Wales receive the highest quality residential, nursing and dementia care to enable them to live later life well.

Each care home webpage provides full details about the home environment, types of care provided, and includes a PDF downloadable brochure and key facts document to assist with further information.

How our care homes are responding to the coronavirus outbreak

During the coronavirus outbreak, all new residents or hospital admission to one of our care homes, are put into self-isolation for 14 days, as per the Government guidelines. This is to ensure the continued safety of all existing residents and members of staff. If there are no symptoms of COVID-19 after 14 days, then self-isolation restrictions will be removed.

Please be reassured that being in isolation will not mean being alone and unattended in a strange new home. On a daily basis the care and cleaning teams visit all resident bedrooms, the chef will be taking daily meal choices and interesting pastimes are arranged whilst the resident is confined in their room.
