Care home operator and developer We are a leading care home operator and developer drawing on a wealth of experience to
develop innovative new care homes.
Building on our proven track record, we deliver results through superior governance and understanding of key drivers in care.
You might be wondering how all 16 Anavo homes will collectively travel 500 miles in just one week.
The answer is that every mile will look a little different.
Our 'Miles That Matter' fundraising activities have been adapted so that everyone can play a part. Residents, families and colleagues will be clocking up the miles through laps of gardens and corridors, dancing, seated movement, cycling and community walks.
Some homes are taking on their own creative challenges too, including danceathons, fancy-dress walks, reservoir walks and even climbs of Ben Nevis and Snowdon. Every activity will count towards our shared 500-mile target. It’s all happening during Care Workers Week, 12th–19th September, as we aim to raise £10,000 for The The Care Workers' Charity.
Take a look through the slides to see how our homes are getting involved. To support Miles That Matter and help us reach our fundraising target, visit our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/team/anavo-care?utm_medium=TE&utm_source=CL

Following its latest CQC assessment, Anavo's Lindridge Care Home has received an overall rating of Good, alongside the highest possible score of 4 in two key areas – Capable, compassionate and inclusive leaders and Planning for the future.
CQC praised the home’s visible and supportive leadership team and recognised the way colleagues put residents at the heart of decisions, adapting care around each person’s individual needs, wishes and circumstances.
The report also highlighted the team’s passion for enabling residents to “live their best lives”, as well as Lindridge’s focus on supporting and developing colleagues to create a skilled and confident team.
An amazing achievement and well-deserved recognition for the whole Lindridge team. 💚

We’re getting ready for our biggest Anavo-wide challenge yet!
This September, all 16 Anavo homes are coming together for Miles That Matter, with one shared goal – to collectively travel 500 miles, the distance between our homes, and raise £10,000 for The Care Workers' Charity.
What we love most about the challenge is that everyone can play a part. From adapted movement activities for residents and community events to some much bigger challenges from our Senior Leadership Team, our homes are finding their own ways to clock up the miles.
It’s all happening during Care Workers Week, 12th–19th September, and we can’t wait to share more of what our homes and teams have planned. To get behind Miles That Matter and help us reach our £10,000 target, you can support us through our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/team/anavo-care?utm_medium=TE&utm_source=CL

At Anavo, we've launched 'Anavo Pen Pals', a simple initiative connecting residents across our homes through handwritten letters.
Our first pairing between Hailsham House and Surbitonian Gardens has already seen residents sharing stories, memories and everyday moments, while building friendships with people they may never otherwise have met.
Supported by our Activities Teams, residents enjoy every step of the experience, from writing their letters to the excitement of receiving a reply.
This initiative is all about creating meaningful connections, encouraging conversation and reminding residents they're part of a wider Anavo community.
We're looking forward to expanding Anavo Pen Pals across more of our homes and, in time, bringing pen pals together through face to face visits. To learn more about the initiative, please click here: https://www.anavogroup.com/anavo-pen-pals-bringing-residents-together-across-our-homes/

Not everyone follows a straight path into their career and Chris is no exception.
From working weekends at a garden centre while still at school to becoming Development Director at Anavo, Chris Stone's career has taken him through construction, quantity surveying and project management before finding his place in the care sector.
What keeps him motivated is seeing the impact of every project. For Chris, it's about more than constructing buildings, it's about creating homes where people can feel safe, supported and part of a community for years to come.
Today, he's leading the development of innovative, sustainable care homes that help residents thrive and give colleagues the environment they need to deliver exceptional care.

After years in hospitality, Paul was looking for better work-life balance. What he found at Anavo was something even more meaningful ✨
Now Head Chef at Alexandra Mill, Paul works closely with residents to understand their favourite foods, the memories attached to them, and what makes mealtimes special. Their input helps shape the menus he creates, while his knowledge and creativity ensure meals are tailored to residents' individual nutritional and dietary needs.
What surprised him most about moving into care? The relationships.
"You become part of their lives, and that connection is what makes the role so rewarding."
From supporting residents' health and wellbeing to creating meals that bring comfort and enjoyment, Paul plays an important role in residents' daily lives.

Last week, across all 15 of our homes, we came together to celebrate Carers Week and recognise the incredible people who make such a difference every single day. ✨
We took this opportunity to thank every member of our Anavo team for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to our residents, their families, our local communities, and each other.
In care homes, every role matters. Whether providing direct care, preparing meals, maintaining our environments, coordinating activities, or supporting operations behind the scenes, every contribution plays a vital part in creating a place our residents can call home.
This video captures just a small glimpse of the celebrations that took place across our homes. From picnics and buffets to takeaways, hand made cards, gift bags, and team celebrations, it was a chance to show our appreciation for the amazing people who make Anavo what it is.
Thank you to all our colleagues for everything you do 💙
