What is residential care?
Residential care at HC-One offers kind, round-the-clock support in a warm, welcoming environment. It’s ideal for older people who no longer feel confident living alone but don’t need nursing care.
Whether it’s help with daily routines, support with personal care, or simply the reassurance that someone is always nearby – residential care can offer comfort, companionship and peace of mind.
In our care homes, you’ll find:
-
Support with everyday tasks like washing, dressing and taking medication
-
Comfortable private bedrooms and shared spaces to relax and socialise
-
A warm, welcoming community of residents and colleagues
-
Daily activities tailored to your interests and abilities
-
A personal care plan that reflects your individual needs, routines and goals
Live well, your way
Residential care is about more than support – it’s about enjoying life, your way.
Our homes are vibrant places, where residents live as independently as possible with just the right level of support. Whether you prefer quiet hobbies, good conversation, or staying active and social, we’ll help you make the most of each day.
From crafts and exercise classes to gardening, entertainment and trips out, there’s plenty to get involved in – but always at your own pace. You’re free to do as much or as little as you like.
Many residents also stay connected with their local communities, whether that’s welcoming visiting choirs and schools into the home, or heading out to familiar places nearby.
These small, meaningful moments help build confidence and a sense of purpose – all part of feeling at home.
Who is residential care for?
Residential care may be the right choice for you if:
-
You need help with personal care, like washing or dressing

You feel isolated or unsafe living alone
-
You’d benefit from having support on hand, day and night
-
You want to enjoy the company of others and take part in activities

You’re ready for a more supported lifestyle with fewer day-to-day worries
