CareHomeLife

What CareHomeLife does

CareHomeLife (legal entity: CareHomeLife Ltd; trading name of FISC Healthcare Ltd, company number 07545521) is a UK-based B2B distributor of consumables, equipment, and furniture to residential and nursing care homes. Founded as a long-established subsidiary of FISC Healthcare Ltd and operating from a single headquarters in Chorley, Lancashire, the company runs a proprietary B2B e-commerce storefront at shop.carehomelife.co.uk backed by an owned fleet of delivery vans and drivers operating on weekly routine delivery routes across England, Scotland, and Wales. Its catalogue spans seven categories — continence care, medical supplies, housekeeping, kitchen, complex care, equipment, and furniture — incorporating leading third-party brands (AMD, TENA, iD, P&G Professional) alongside proprietary lines including The Bodhi Collection (furniture) and CHL Hand Hygiene Systems.

The company's distribution and service architecture is the operational centrepiece: an in-house customer services team handles account opening and urgent orders by phone, free consultancy assessments are available to evaluate consumables usage, and the business advertises a 98%+ on-time-and-in-full delivery rate supported by its own fleet. A proprietary 4-step continence care system — combining personalised pad selection, training programmes, and comprehensive audits — is positioned as a clinical-process differentiator alongside one-off equipment sales (beds, hoists, slings, falls prevention) and recurring LOLER/PUWER-compliant servicing and maintenance revenue.

CareHomeLife generates revenue through transactional product sales (consumables and one-time equipment purchases), recurring weekly delivery contracts on net-30 trade/credit terms, engineering services tied to LOLER/PUWER inspections, and a small set of named enterprise accounts (Exemplar Health Care, Beechwood, Highpoint Care). The go-to-market is consultative B2B field/inside sales reinforced by a content-driven website and email newsletter, with no public revenue disclosure and no disclosed external funding.
