Excelcare has confirmed a substantial pipeline of new developments, strengthening its portfolio with around 500 additional care home beds and an expansion into children’s services.
A family-run organisation, Excelcare has delivered high-quality, person-centred care since 1989. Today, the group operates 30 care homes across Cambridge, Essex, London and Milton Keynes, and a home care service in East London, supporting people in a wide range of community settings. Supported by more than 2,800 dedicated colleagues, Excelcare enables over 2,500 people to live fulfilling and meaningful lives, delivering individualised care rooted in empathy, kindness and compassion.
The development programme includes new care homes planned for Ely, Guildford and Sidcup, alongside major redevelopment projects in Essex and Cambridgeshire, where existing homes will be rebuilt or significantly upgraded to meet modern design and care standards. Together, these projects will create environments better suited to the evolving needs and expectations of the people who live and work there.
Alongside its continued investment in older people’s care, Excelcare is also progressing plans for its first children’s home in Cambridgeshire. Designed to support children and young people aged 6–17, the service will provide a safe, stable and nurturing setting for those who may have experienced trauma, emotional or behavioural difficulties, learning disabilities, or challenges in forming secure and trusting attachments.
This expansion reflects Excelcare’s long-term strategy to future-proof its estate and thoughtfully diversify its care offering. The new homes will feature high-quality interiors and landscaped gardens, alongside advanced care technologies that support safety, independence and wellbeing, while also enhancing the day-to-day working environment for care teams.
Commenting on the announcement, Chief Executive Officer Osman Ertosun said: “As we continue to evolve our portfolio, our focus remains on building and sustaining homes that deliver excellence in care and support. These developments mark an important milestone in Excelcare’s growth and modernisation strategy.”
With more than three decades of experience, Excelcare remains one of the care sector’s leading operators. This investment programme demonstrates a continued commitment to people and places, ensuring high-quality, future-ready environments that reflect the changing expectations of care today and tomorrow.
