About us
At Hanning Homes, our mission is to redefine elderly care in the UK by creating a home where residents feel safe, respected, and truly at ease. We believe care should be more than meeting needs, it should enrich lives and promote dignity, independence, and choice every day. That's why we combine exceptional care with engaging activities, tailored nutrition, and a welcoming environment that families and friends love to visit. From our chef-designed menus and beautiful private dining spaces to our co-working areas, children's play zones, and vibrant gardens, every detail is designed to bring people together, spark joy, and celebrate community. We are proud to support our staff with training and development, empowering them to deliver compassionate, inclusive, and safe care. At Hanning Homes, care feels like family, warm, innovative, and outstanding.
