Care Services Near Me
We are a not-for-profit charity dedicated to providing exceptional care. Unlike some care providers we don’t make a profit, we reinvest back into our services.
Exploring care
At Friends of the Elderly we provide a whole range of specialist care services that help support older people. From residential care homes, day care services through to short term respite care, we want those using our homes and services to have the best experience of care possible.
We’ve been ‘talking dementia’ and taking a close look at how our teams use an innovative educational programme to help tailor the care they provide.
Our grants for older people
As part of our charitable work, we provide grants to older people living on low incomes across the UK. Typically, these might be to help with heating, cooking or safely staying in touch during the pandemic.

Covid-19 update
During the ongoing pandemic the staff at our care homes have been working hard to keep our residents safe. We provide safe visiting arrangements and our care homes are now open for visits from family and friends. We continue to review our processes in light of changing advice from Public Health England.
