Care created for you
Welcome to Bupa care homes. You might hear us say nursing homes, elderly care homes or residential homes too. But whatever you call care homes, it's important to choose the right place for you or your loved one.
Providing safe, secure and specialist care is what we do. We have over 120 care homes across the UK, offering a range of support
options for residents both young and old.
Across 2022 we've seen better staff engagement and growing resident
satisfaction scores. We've also set up new staff development
programmes and digital tools. All of this combined helped us to secure
the Care Provider of the Year award.
Age is just a number
Age - it's just a number. You're still you. Up for new things or happy how you are, even if you don't always know where you are.
This is us. This is health.
See how we're changing the perception of what it means to grow old.

Many of our care homes welcome those with early-onset or advanced dementia. Whether you need residential dementia care or nursing dementia care, we’re here to keep you safe and comfortable.
Respite care
Short-stay care can help to recharge batteries while a loved one is getting dedicated care in a safe and comfortable environment. Our respite care is here for whenever you need it.
Convalescent care
If you’ve recently had an illness or operation and would like some help feeling more like yourself again, our convalescent care services can help you get back on track.
Palliative care
If you’re seriously ill, ensuring the best possible quality of life is invaluable. Our palliative nursing care provides dedicated 24-hour support when needed most, in a calm and peaceful environment.
Help with care home funding
You don’t have to be a Bupa customer already to live at one of our care homes – we welcome enquires from anyone interested in the care services we provide.
The weekly fee for staying at one of our homes varies, depending on the type of care that’s needed. Our customer care team is on standby to provide pricing information based around your individual needs.
Your local authority can tell you if you qualify for any care home funding support, or you can make payments from your own private funds.

“I speak to her regularly on the phone and she always tells me how kind the staff are, how well she is treated and how comfortable she is. I've seen her on 2 distanced garden visits, and she looks well. I know she is in safe hands, stimulated by varied and interesting activities.”

We provide friendly phone calls for those who want a chat.
We’ve created Bupa Buddy, a service for those who are lonely, bored or simply want to chat.
This service is open to all elderly people, not just our care home residents. They don’t even have to be a Bupa customer.
