HC-One colleagues are celebrating their success following the announcement of Carehome.co.uk’s Top 20 Care Home Awards winners for 2026.
A total of 12 HC-One care homes across England, Scotland and Wales were named amongst the Top 20 care homes in their respective regions:
● Five HC-One homes received awards for being in the Top 20 Care Homes in the North East of England – resulting in 25% of the Top 20 homes in the North East being HC-One homes.
● Four of HC-One’s Scottish homes scooped a Top 20 Care Home Award – accounting for 20% of the Top 20 homes in Scotland.
● Two HC-One care homes received awards for being in the Top 20 Care Homes in the North West – making up 10% of the Top 20 homes in the region.
● One of HC-One’s Welsh homes was recognised in the Top 20 Care Homes in Wales – making up 5% of the Top 20 homes in the country.
Carehome.co.uk, the UK's leading care home directory and comparison website, holds its annual Care Home Awards to recognise the 20 top-rated care homes in each region of the UK.
Based on individual review scores that carehome.co.uk have received from residents, and their friends, family and loved ones, the awards demonstrate the real life opinions and first-hand experiences from those most closely connected to the home.
The awards are a huge achievement and testimony to the kind care that colleagues at HC-One provide and the significant impact this has on those residents receiving care living in HC-One care homes, and on their families, by helping them to live their best lives.
HC-One is committed to providing the highest standards of care in every community it serves, which is demonstrated by the 9.5/10 average rating on the carehome.co.uk website – among the highest review scores across the care home sector.
