About us

Family led care homes in the North East, built on kindness, dignity and a warm welcome.

Who we are

Exceptional care, in a place that feels like home

Arlington Care Group is a family led care provider in the North East, dedicated to creating comfortable, nurturing homes where every resident is known, valued and cared for.

Our trained, compassionate team looks after each person's physical, emotional and social wellbeing, and builds real relationships that bring a sense of community and belonging.

Our homes are thoughtfully designed to promote independence, safety and comfort, and our care is shaped around each resident's needs and preferences, with support available 24 hours a day.

Our approach

People first, always

A care home should be a real community, not just somewhere to live. We get to know each resident and work alongside their family, so the care they receive fits the person they are, in surroundings that feel warm, safe and familiar.

Our homes are regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and we hold ourselves to high standards in everything we do. That commitment helps us attract managers and carers who share our values. Wellbeing, independence and dignity guide every decision, and strong links with families, healthcare professionals and the local community sit at the heart of Arlington Care Group.

Our vision

A future where exceptional care feels like home

To be one of the most trusted names in independent care, with homes where every resident feels safe, valued and truly at home.

Quality sits at the centre of everything we do, for residents, their families and our team. Outstanding care begins with seeing the individual, respecting their choices and helping them live a full, purposeful life with independence, dignity and compassion. As we grow, that focus will never change.
