15 Mr Bailey: A Life Well Lived 16-17 Awards, Achievements and Milestones
IA message from our COO
Welcome to our first issue of the Excelcare Voice for 2026.
n this issue, we take a moment to reflect on the past few months while also looking ahead as we enter a new season. As the colder months draw to a close and spring begins to unfold, it offers us a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and approach the year ahead with renewed energy and purpose.
The past year may feel as though it passed in the blink of an eye. Yet when I reflect on everything we have achieved together across the Excelcare family, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude.
Looking back at the recent months and the festive season, colleagues across the Excelcare family went above and beyond to make winter truly special for the people living in our homes and for one another. Many gave their time, energy, and compassion - often sacrificing moments with their own loved ones - to ensure that no one felt alone during such a meaningful time of the year.
Behind the extra effort and long hours were the smiles they created - a priceless reward that brought warmth and happiness not only to the people we care for, but also to the teams themselves.
People were also invited to share their aspirations for the year ahead. From wishes for good health and happiness to dreams of revisiting meaningful places or trying something new - a wide range of hopes were shared. For our teams, these conversations offered valuable insight into what matters most to the people we support and how we can continue helping them achieve their goals.
Many of the homes met their own goals this past year, and I would like to congratulate the care homes that have recently celebrated important milestone achievements, as well as recognise the inspiring charitable acts we have seen over the past few months. Acts of kindness and generosity continue to reflect the true spirit of our family.
During the winter period, we also extended our heartfelt thanks to our Support Office teams for their incredible generosity, creativity, and commitment to seasonal fundraising. Together, an impressive £2,721.08 was raised for Haven House, the Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust, and Bromley Brighter Beginnings, alongside generous gift donations that brought comfort, joy, and meaningful support to children and families throughout the colder months.
As winter continued and the New Year arrived, members of the Excelcare family welcomed 2026 by reflecting on their favourite memories from the past year and sharing hopes for the months ahead. Taking time to look back sparked meaningful conversations, as people reminisced about moments that brought comfort and joy. These reflections created a wonderful sense of optimism, reminding us all that every new beginning carries opportunity.
With a cuppa in hand and a couple of cookies, I invite you to read on and enjoy this issue of the Excelcare Voice.
With love, Sam X

Growing for the Future: New Care Homes and Services Update
We are in the process of a major development programmeadding over 500 new purposebuilt care beds to our portfolio. With a national shortage of care beds and rising demand, we are helping to meet this demand by expanding our capacity and investing in future-ready care homes.
The development programme includes new care homes planned for Ely, Guildford and Sidcup. Together, these projects will create environments better suited to the evolving needs and expectations of people seeking care.
Alongside our continued investment in older people’s care, we are also progressing plans for our first children’s home in Cambridgeshire. Designed to support children and young people aged 6–17, this new 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.
Commenting on these developments, our Chairman Ozzie Ertosun:
“As we continue to evolve our portfolio, our focus remains on building and sustaining homes and services that deliver excellence in care and support. These developments mark an important milestone in Excelcare’s growth and modernisation strategy.”
Redevelopment Plans Underway
Modern, spacious care homes continue to be in development to meet evolving needs – below is a sneak peek at an architect’s impression of how Rheola Court will look when the home re-opens.
We’re also redeveloping several homes in Essex and are committed to keeping everyone informed and supported throughout the journey.
Excelcare Children’s Services
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality care, we are proud to be embarking on our first venture into children’s services—an exciting new chapter for our organisation.
Two new children’s homes - Butterfly House and Oak Lodge - are set to open in Cambridge with more in the pipeline.
The Excelcare Roadshow Arrives at Park Avenue
Our Senior Leadership Team from Central Support Office recently spent time at Park Avenue Care Home, focusing on what matters most - engaging directly with the people living in the home, their families, and our dedicated team members.
Marking the first visit of Excelcare’s ‘Your Voice Matters Roadshow’, these open and honest conversations gave everyone the opportunity to share experiences, ideas, and feedback that can help shape the future of the home.
“Listening to the people we care for, families, and colleagues allowed us to truly understand what was working well and where we could do better. It strengthened relationships, built trust, and ensured the voices of our care home community are at the heart of every decision we make”, said Home Manager, Charlotte Goodfellow-Fernandez.
Stanley Wilson Lodge
Celebrates the Re-Opening of Its Refurbished Day Care Centre and Enhanced Care Home Environment
At the end of 2025, Stanley Wilson Lodge Care Home proudly unveiled the re-opening of its beautifully refurbished Saffron Club Day Centre, alongside significant enhancements to the wider care home, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of high-quality, personcentred care in Saffron Walden.
A long-standing and much-loved part of the local community, Stanley Wilson Lodge offers a warm, supportive and welcoming environment for the people living in the care home and day care guests alike. The day care centre has always played a vital role in bringing people together, providing opportunities to socialise, enjoy freshly prepared hot meals and take part in a diverse programme of meaningful activities.
The refurbishment has resulted in a bright, modern and thoughtfully designed day care suite, created to enhance comfort, independence and wellbeing. In addition, five bedrooms located close to the day care area have also been fully refurbished, further elevating the quality and consistency of the environment across the care home.
To ensure the highest standards of dementiafriendly design, Excelcare partnered with iDesign, an award-winning design studio specialising in care and social environments. Guided by the renowned
design principles of The King’s Fund and the University of Stirling, the refurbishment focuses on creating spaces that are not only visually appealing, but also intuitive, calming and stimulating. These approaches place people at the heart of the design process, ensuring the environment supports the individual needs of those who live, visit and work within the home.
The improvements extend beyond the interior of Stanley Wilson Lodge and the Saffron Club. The garden area, accessible from the day care centre, has been transformed with new paving and stylish garden furniture, creating an inviting outdoor space for people using the services to relax, socialise and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of time spent in nature.
With the refurbishment now complete, Stanley Wilson Lodge Care Home and The Saffron Club offer an enhanced living and visiting experience, combining modern facilities with compassionate, personalised care delivered by a dedicated team. The re-opened day centre once again welcomes members of the community, providing flexible support in a vibrant and enriching setting.
Creativity programme, SPARK inspires multisensory connection across the Excelcare group
We recently partnered with intergenerational arts charity, Magic Me, to deliver their new creative arts programme SPARK.
Spark gives people who live in care homes the opportunity to take part in playful, multi-sensory creative activities to create moments of connection. Activities are designed to respect the abilities and individuality of everyone involved, regardless of age or experience, and include weaving, light and shadow play, and using natural inks. Since 2021, Magic Me has worked with care homes across the UK to inspire new ideas and approaches to activities, prioritising accessibility for people who are non-verbal or living with later stage, advanced dementia. The project was not only about showing team members how to connect with individuals through engaging art forms, but also to find out the best way to deliver this type of training, which was achieved by separating participating homes into three cohorts.
The first cohort received online training through Zoom, cohort two attended an in-person group training day, whilst cohort three received separate onsite visits, where training was delivered in smaller groups inside their homes. Feedback was then gathered from participants in each cohort, to find out which training method was the most effective. Although each had its benefits, team members found that the in-person training sessions allowed for greater human connection, which is a vital aspect of the SPARK training outcomes.
Following these training sessions with Spark artists Georgia Akbar and Lily Ash Sakula, Excelcare team members shared their experiences.
“Even though he’s unable to use his words, he didn’t take his eyes off the patterns shining on the wall the whole time, so lovely to see his engagement”
“This is practical, it is real! I have gone on other trainings that were very fancy and I was excited, but it was just so unrealistic. I can see this working.”
“That was the first time Eleanor has sat down, I normally try an activity and she walks off. She sat down!”
The positive results were plentiful, with team members observing successful physical and emotional responses from the people who live in their homes. The light displays using the equipment provided created awe-inspiring moments, and the best part? Sessions could be hosted from wherever a person was spending time, ensuring they were accessible and could be experienced by all.
Learnings from the SPARK project have now been implemented in each home, ensuring these special moments of connection can continue to be created.
A Glimpse of Life inside our Care Homes
Over the last three months, the homes have captured some everyday moments that show what life is like. See below for some of our recent highlights
Gardening at Buchan House
Ken who lives at Buchan House got out into the garden recently, where he planted some seed potatoes and cleaned some of the garden up so plants can be planted over the coming months.
Playing Games at Stanley Wilson Lodge
The people living at Stanley Wilson Lodge had an afternoon of fun and laughter, playing board games, and other group activities. Friendly competition and cheerful chatter filled the room, and it was a lovely way to enjoy each other’s company.
Bird Feeding at The Willows
The people living at The Willows stepped into the garden to feed the birds, scattering seeds and enjoying the fluttering wings around them.
Creating Art at Peartree
Some beautiful paintings were made by the people living at Peartree.
Julia of Westport has her Artwork Immortalised at Support Office
In November we hosted a very special celebration in honour of Julia, a lifelong artist who lives at Westport. Julia has dedicated her life to art, and had her extraordinary work displayed in several galleries. Her passion for creating continues to shine, and when her artwork was recently featured in a companywide email, it caught the attention of our COO, Sam. So inspired by her talent, Sam purchased four of Julia’s pieces to be displayed proudly in the wellbeing room at Support Office, which were unveiled by our Chairman Ozzie Ertosun who commented:
“Julia is incredibly artistic. Many years ago, Sam and I were doing an audit at Westport when we noticed someone had been drawing on all the walls — and it turned out to be Julia! We thought we might be looking at the future Banksy. Julia has been drawing for most of her life, and her passion for art shines through in everything she does. She’s had her work displayed in galleries and even written to Buckingham Palace! We’re so privileged to have her as part of our community, and we’d like to thank her for sharing her incredible talent with us all.”
Julia’s work has left an indelible mark on the London art scene. Known for her compelling portrayals of women, LGBTQ+ identities, class, and childhood, her art challenges societal norms and invites viewers to engage in meaningful dialogue. Her artistic journey began later in life; she did not attend art school until the age of 45 and completed her degree in Fine Art and Critical Studies from Central Saint Martins at 50. Despite starting her formal education later than most, Julia’s commitment to her craft is evident in her extensive exhibition history. Her work has been displayed in various venues, including galleries, restaurants, and shops, embodying her belief that art should be accessible to all.
Beyond her artistic endeavours, Julia has been a fervent advocate for social change. She played a pivotal role in organising the first Women’s Liberation Conference in the UK and was instrumental in saving the Carnegie Library from closure in 1999. Her activism reflects a deep commitment to community and cultural preservation.
The art unveiling in November was a joyful celebration and gathering of team members and friends, filled with creative activities, delicious snacks, and artistic inspiration. The highlight of the day was the unveiling of Julia’s artwork, a touching moment that reflected the gallery experiences she has cherished throughout her life. It was a truly memorable day, celebrating not only Julia’s incredible talent but also her lifelong love of art. Her work will now continue to inspire all who visit the Support Office, immortalising her artistic legacy for years to come.
103-Year-Old Burma Star Veteran
Honoured in Special Ceremony at Lime
Lime Court Care Home recently welcomed Burma Star Association
Representative, Joseph Smith, to celebrate the life and achievements of 103-year-old veteran, Maurice.
Maurice was born in 1922 to a Christian family, and his faith has always been a prominent part of his life. So, when he was called up in 1942 to serve as part of the Royal Air Force, he bravely took it in his stride.
A humble man, Maurice never saw himself as a hero for his service during the Second World War. In fact, he views himself as one of the lucky ones who made it back home after three and a half years serving in India, Burma, and other parts of the Far East.
For his time, commitment and dedication to the Royal Air Force, Maurice earned four medals: the 1939–45 Star, the Burma Star, the Defence Medal, and the War Medal. These achievements are incredibly important to Maurice and are among some of his most prized possessions. Today, he is one of a small number of living Burma Star Veterans.
This achievement was recently celebrated at Lime Court Care Home in Harwich, when Burma Star Association
Representative, Joseph Smith visited to meet Maurice, learn about his service during World War II and provide him with the opportunity to sign the historic 1942 Union Flag – a privilege only offered to those who received the Burma Star Medal.
It was an emotional and uplifting moment as Maurice added his name alongside other surviving veterans, some of whom are aged between 101 and 104 years old. This milestone was witnessed by his son Bob, and Excelcare team members, Kendra Bray and Sarah Meachen. It was an incredibly special moment for all involved, and a very proud one for Maurice.
This occasion gave Maurice the opportunity to reminisce and think about his friends who served in the war but never made it home. Remembrance Day is a significant day that Maurice has a deep emotional connection to. When standing at the village memorial in Great Oakley some years ago, Maurice knew most of the men named and could recall individual memories he shared with each of them – some from
as far back as his school years. It is these men, and their sacrifice, that he frequently thinks about.
Although his medals have been kept safe in a drawer for many years, Bob recently arranged for them to be professionally mounted in their correct order of seniority, complete with new ribbons, before presenting them back to his father as a birthday gift — a fitting tribute to his service.
Kendra Bray, Sales and Marketing Business Partner, and Sarah Meachen, Lifestyle Coordinator at Lime Court, said:
“It was an incredibly moving and proud moment for all of us at Lime Court to witness Maurice signing the 1942 Union Jack. To stand beside one of the nation’s remaining Burma Star veterans was truly humbling. Maurice represents a generation whose courage, resilience and sacrifice must never be forgotten. It is an absolute privilege to support him and to share his extraordinary story with our wider community.”
Lime Court
Suzanne Moore, Home Manager at Lime Court, added:
“We feel deeply honoured to have Maurice living at Lime Court. He is an extraordinary gentleman with an incredible story, and it is a privilege for our team members and the people who live here to share in his life and experiences. His resilience, humility, and quiet strength motivate us every day.”
At 103, Maurice continues to inspire those around him — not through grand claims of heroism, but through quiet faith, dignity and remembrance of those brave soldiers who paid the ultimate price.

Mr Bailey: A Life Well Lived
Mr Bailey was a gentleman who lived in one of our care homes, and during a quality assurance visit, the Executive Leadership team took the time to speak with him and find out exactly what he wanted from his life whilst living in a care home.
This valuable and progressive discussion led to a change in the way we operate, inspiring a commitment to ensure each element of a person’s care combines to promote their quality of life.
In this feature, we will explore the journey of a person who is living in one of our care homes and how they have been supported to live a fulfilled life.
Ted and his wife Laurel, moved into Stanley Wilson Lodge Care Home in early 2025, instantly bringing smiles and spreading joy to everyone they met.
In 1953, Ted was called up for National Service. Originally intended to last just two years, he chose to extend his service to earn an additional £1 per week.
Germany. His group consisted of 120 men, and his role was crucial: using radar equipment to detect incoming aircraft and alert gunners to their positions.
“I remember that all the food we had was tinned, even the chocolate. I was stationed at a farm once, and we gave some of our chocolate to the farmer’s children. He was very grateful and gave us fresh eggs in return, which was a real treat,” Ted recalled.
He was later recalled to serve again, this time guarding the British Embassy in Germany. He remained there for three to four months, before returning home just in time for Christmas.
During his time in the army, Ted forged lifelong friendships, including a German friend who once invited him to celebrate Christmas with his family. For his service, Ted earned numerous stripes—some of which he still wears with pride on special occasions.
We are proud to welcome Ted and his wife, Laurel, to the Stanley Wilson Lodge Family and are sure there will be many more interesting stories to come.
Throughout his service, Ted went through the ranks, earning himself higher pay and greater responsibility. He eventually commanded his own battery and was entrusted with the important task of driving the Major. In 1956, after three years of service, Ted was de-mobbed and returned to civilian life.
During the first few weeks, Ted completed his training in Oswestry and then Rhyl in Wales.
After his initial training, Ted and his unit were given two weeks’ leave before being deployed to
Awards, Achievements and Milestones
St George’s Court celebrates ‘Good’ CQC rating after remarkable transformation
We are proud to share that St George’s Court in Cambridge has been awarded an overall ‘Good’ rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following its most recent inspection in 2025. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the home’s journey and recognises the exceptional progress made over recent years.
The CQC found St George’s Court to be delivering safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care, supported by strong leadership, a positive culture and a clear focus on person-centred support. In the Caring key line of enquiry, the home achieved an impressive 85% score, just three percentage points short of an Outstanding rating. Feedback from people living at the home and their relatives suggests that many already view the care they receive as outstanding.
In their report, Inspectors described a home where people
feel safe, happy and genuinely cared for, where people feel listened to, valued and actively involved in decisions about their lives. The report highlights a calm, welcoming environment shaped by compassionate team members, visible leadership and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.
This positive outcome follows a ‘Good’ rating from Cambridgeshire County Council after a local authority inspection in July 2024, demonstrating consistent quality across both national and local assessments.
Significant investment in team development, robust governance and reflective practice has helped create a culture where people — those living in the home, and team members alike — can truly thrive. Inspectors also noted the many thoughtful touches that enhance wellbeing, including personalised routines, meaningful activities, strong family involvement and creative approaches to communication and comfort.
Home Manager Jayne Wardell said:
“This has been an incredibly proud and rewarding journey. Together with the people we support, their families and our dedicated team, we have built a home where people truly thrive. We focus on listening, learning and doing things better every day, and it is wonderful to see this recognised. St George’s Court is now a place where people can genuinely enjoy a life well lived.”
The CQC also commended St George’s Court for:
- Excellent safeguarding practices
- High standards of cleanliness and infection prevention
- Strong partnership working with health and care professionals
- Exceptional support for team wellbeing, leading to improved retention and continuity of care
- Respect for people’s rights, dignity and consent, including at end of life
Sam Manning, Chief Operating Officer at Excelcare, said:
“This result reflects everything Excelcare stands for. The team at St George’s Court has shown extraordinary commitment, professionalism and heart. They have transformed the service into a home we can all be immensely proud of.”
The CQC has now confirmed that St George’s Court is no longer in breach of regulations, with a strong culture of openness, learning and quality improvement firmly embedded for the future.
With a ‘Good’ rating across all areas, St George’s Court had a party to celebrate and now looks ahead with confidence and pride — firmly established as a trusted, high-quality care home at the heart of the Cambridge community.
Behind the Magic of Christmas at
Throughout Christmas across the Excelcare Family, Home Managers, Carers, Chefs, Nurses, Domestic teams, and many others went above and beyond, to make the festive season special for the people living in our homes.
From putting up decorations together and sharing traditional meals, to enjoying festive music and the joy of shared smiles and laughter, our team members ensured that every detail was taken care of, keeping Christmas truly the most wonderful time of the year.
Behind the hard work and extra hours were the smiles they created—a priceless reward that brought joy and magic to both the people we care for and the teams themselves.
Festive Fun at Support Office: Barbara,
Barbara, Doris and Jacqui, who all live in London-based Excelcare homes, received a warm welcome at our Central Support Office as they took on the special role of judging our annual festive decoration competition.
Before beginning their tour, they joined our COO, Sam Manning, for tea and cakes. This gave everyone a lovely opportunity to chat, get to know each other and
set the scene for the festive fun ahead.
Throughout November, colleagues across our central departments were invited to transform their workspaces with imaginative Christmas themes. Over the weeks, offices gradually shifted from their everyday look into enchanting festive scenes. Some teams opted for classic, colour-coordinated décor, while others embraced distinctive concepts to bring their workspaces to life.
On judging day, our three guest judges from the London homes arrived—accompanied by Home Managers Adam and Charlotte, as well as team members from their homes—to explore each department and choose which group had created the most festive impact.
Judging was based on four categories: Decorations, Interactivity, Festive Spirit and Theme, with each area able to earn up to 10 points in total.

Doris & Jacqui Select This Year’s Winners
As they made their way around the building, the judges were genuinely impressed by the creativity and effort on display. Among the highlights were festive treats in Finance, a magical Christmas workshop in Payroll, meeting Father Christmas and his reindeer in IT, a brilliant solo Christmas performance from Osa, Director of People & Resources, and a joyful karaoke session led by the Care Quality, Communications and Digital Transformation Teams.
Every department found its own way to reflect the magic of Christmas, giving our judges a wonderfully immersive and uplifting experience.
After completing their tour, the judges tallied up their scores before joining Sam Manning in reception for a live announcement of the results. Team Payroll were crowned the winners, with Finance taking second place and IT coming in third. Barbara, Doris and Jacqui shared how much they
enjoyed the event and how the decorations had truly lifted their festive spirits.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jacqui, Barbara and Doris for spending the day with us and for playing such an important part in our celebrations. It was a pleasure to welcome them into our Support Office and share the Christmas magic together.
Fundraising and Charity Supporting BBC Children in Need
In mid-November, at Support Office, colleagues arrived in their cosiest pyjamas to support BBC Children in Need.
Head of Finance, Steve Parker, certainly turned heads in a boldly striped nightgown, complete with a perfectly coordinated cap!
To boost the fun and fundraising, our Chief Operating Officer, Sam Manning, promised an additional contribution to Children in Need for every team member who snapped a photo with Steve and posted it on social media.
Thanks to this, combined with everyone’s incredible generosity, we raised a fantastic total of £200!
We hope this goes some way towards helping children and young people who need the most support.
Support Office Christmas Fundraising – A Huge Thank You
As 2025 came to an end, we thanked our Support Office teams for their incredible generosity, creativity, and commitment to last year’s Christmas fundraising.
Together, an impressive £2,721.08 was raised, alongside generous gift donations that made a real difference to children and families over the festive season.
Highlights included:
• Payroll creating shoebox gifts for children via The Entertainer
• CEO & COO Office raising £381.60 for Haven House

• Communications, Engagement & Marketing, Care Quality & Governance, and Digital Transformation raising £700 for The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust through a Christmas Market
• HR & Recruitment raising £1,034 for The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust through custom mug sales
Congratulations went to HR & Recruitment for achieving the highest fundraising total overall.
A huge thank you again to everyone involved for truly embodying the spirit of Christmas and supporting such worthwhile causes.
