Walnut Care

What Walnut Care does

Walnut Care is a family-owned home care services provider headquartered in Boston, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. Founded in 2003, the company delivers personalised, in-home care primarily to adults and elderly individuals who wish to maintain independence at home, with the offering extending to family carers seeking respite and to healthcare professionals making patient referrals. Walnut Care has operated continuously for 22 years and is registered with and rated "Good" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England (location reference 1-414082459). The company explicitly positions itself as a family business with no disclosed external investment, no parent entity, and no subsidiaries.

The service portfolio comprises nine core care offerings — Personal Care, Medication Support, Dementia Care, Out and About, Meals, Housekeeping, Morning Calls, Bedtime Visits, and Companionship — delivered through a modular visit system. Customers can choose from three visit durations (Standard 30 minutes, Extended 45 minutes, Long one hour or more) across four daily shifts (Morning 6am–10am, Lunchtime 10am–2pm, Teatime 2pm–6pm, Bedtime 6pm–11pm), with optional add-ons for double-carer and complex care. The operational delivery model is straightforward: prospective customers initiate contact via the company website (walnutcare.co.uk), telephone, or live chat; a free, no-commitment care-needs assessment follows; and a tailored care plan is then delivered in the customer's home by a Walnut Care-employed professional. The company employs 150+ care professionals and executes more than 8,000 care visits per week across Lincolnshire.

Walnut Care operates a direct-to-consumer, unit-pricing model. Public pricing on the website shows placeholders ("£--") rather than published rates, with final pricing determined after the free assessment; weekend rates apply, and double-carer and complex-care options carry additional cost. The go-to-market motion relies on the company website, telephone enquiries, live chat during business hours, and local word-of-mouth. There is no disclosed funding, no enterprise/B2B contract base, and no geographic footprint outside Lincolnshire. The company is privately held, family-controlled, and operates without evidence of external shareholders.
