Hill Care

What Hill Care does

Hill Care Ltd. is a privately held UK care home operator headquartered in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, founded in 2001. The company delivers residential, dementia, nursing, respite/short-stay, palliative/end-of-life, and daycare services through a network of 30-36 owned care homes concentrated across the North of England - spanning Yorkshire, Teesside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, and South Yorkshire. Each home typically operates between 37 and 79 registered beds, several with en-suite single rooms, and a central enquiry office handles inbound family placements.

Hill Care is not a technology company. Its service model is a direct-to-consumer delivery of person-centred care, differentiated by a published 'C.A.R.E.' brand promise (Compassion, Aspiration, Respect, Empowerment), an enriched lifestyle program (Knitting Nannas, intergenerational Crafting Connections with The Together Project, NAPA-recognized creative activities), and a differentiated 'veteran-friendly' positioning through Veteran Friendly Framework accreditation across multiple homes. Operational quality is evidenced by a CQC 'Outstanding' rating at Deangate Care Home (Barnsley), a Good PAMMS rating at Ingleby, and MUST Gold Standard nutrition accreditation at The Gables.

Revenue is recurring and quote-based, billed monthly, with fees varying by care type (residential, dementia, nursing), room selection, and individual acuity. The customer base is fragmented (elderly residents and their families) and reach is local-authority commissioning plus private-pay self-funders. The group employs between 1,001 and 5,000 staff across the portfolio, is led by CEO Liza Beukes, has no parent company or disclosed external backing, and publishes governance documents including a Gender Pay Gap Report (2024) and Modern Slavery Statement (2025).
