Family-Run Care, Personal by Nature

Abbey Total Care Group began with a single, clear purpose: to create care homes where older people feel genuinely at home. Over 30 years, that purpose has guided every decision — from how we design our rooms to how we support families through the most difficult conversations.

We are proud to be family-run. That means accountability, continuity and a culture where every member of staff understands what is at stake. Our 11 homes each have their own identity and community, while sharing the same values and care standards.

Our Journey

Three decades of caring

From a single family-run care home in across London, Essex, Surrey to 11 CQC-regulated homes supporting 700+ residents across London, Essex and Surrey.

1989

Family Foundations — The First Home

Abbey began with a single care home, The Ashbrook in Essex. Founded on one belief: every resident deserves to feel genuinely at home. A family vision, built to last.

1992–1994

Growing Roots — Three Homes in Three Years

Parkview, Woodlands and Bridge House opened in quick succession. Quality of care earned trust. The group's reputation for warm, personal care began to spread.

2001–2006

Expanding Across London & Essex

Forest Place (2001), Moreland (2003), Abbey Cheam (2005) and Parkside (2006) joined the group. Each home brought its own community identity, bound by shared Abbey values.

2009–2011

Deepening Our Reach

Ravenscroft Park, Abbey Care Complex and Bhakti Shyama opened within three years — reflecting growing demand for specialist residential, nursing and culturally-sensitive care across the region.

2024–Present

11 Homes. One Standard.

Uplands Care Home joined the group, completing an 11-home network across London, Essex and Surrey. All our care homes are registered and regulated by the CQC, reflecting three decades of dedication to resident-first safety and care.
