Our Ethos

A Warm Welcome

At Splendid Healthcare, we believe that everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and cherished. Our three care homes – Derwent Lodge, Ullswater Cottage, and Upper Mead – are more than just places to live; they are vibrant communities where residents can truly thrive. From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll be greeted with warmth, compassion, and a genuine sense of belonging.

We understand that choosing a care home is a significant decision. That’s why we strive to create an environment that feels like home, where residents can relax, enjoy companionship, and pursue their passions.
