For 40 years, families have trusted us to care for the people they love.
Dovehaven
Who We Are
Dovehaven Care Homes is a family-owned care provider that’s been creating real homes for the past 40 years, places where life continues with dignity, joy and connection. We provide residential, nursing, dementia and specialist health care across the North West, always with compassion at our core.
We’re not a corporate chain. We’re a family business that understands what it means to care for someone you love, because that’s exactly what we do every single day.
Behind every number is a real person. A family, a journey, and trust that’s been placed in us. Every resident has a story, every family has a journey, and we're honoured to be part of that.
About Us
Our homes
Our homes are truly homely - comfortable, safe and welcoming. Some are set in grand period buildings, others in quiet countryside spots but every one feels like home.
Whether your loved one needs residential care, nursing support, dementia care, or specialist health care, they'll find a place where they can continue to be themselves, surrounded by people who genuinely care.
Your loved one will receive care from kind and compassionate team members who we encourage and recognise for going above and beyond. Many of our teams have been with us for decades, and it shows in the relationships they build with residents and families.
We connect with both residents and their families to ensure the care delivered is personalised, appropriate and supports your loved one to be the best they can be, every day.
We believe your loved one's life should be enhanced, not limited, by moving into care. That's why we're energetic in our approach to new technology and activities that bring independence and fun into daily life.
Staying connected
We help families stay connected through flexible visits, meaningful connection support, and private online updates.
Varied activities
Our partnership with Oomph On Demand ensures daily activities are varied and individualised, trying new things and continuing lifelong hobbies
Family Involvement
We encourage families to join our private online community pages, so you can feel connected even when you can’t be there in person
Our Values
These five values have guided us for 40 years and they shape every decision we make today:
Compassion in Every Way
The care we provide is fuelled by empathy and respect, which drives us to go above and beyond for your loved one.
Accountability
We take responsibility as individuals and as an organisation to deliver on our commitments and promises to you and your family.
Respect Diversity
Differences are our strength. Every voice is heard and celebrated, creating inclusion for everyone.
Excellence Unleashed
Not just meeting expectations, but exceeding them. We push boundaries to set standards for unparalleled care.
Strength in Unity
Together, we’re an unstoppable force. Every person and role is as important as the next, empowering your loved one to thrive.
About Us
Our commitment to the future
Real care means thinking long-term, for your loved one, and for the world they live in. That’s why sustainability has been part of how we work for years. From solar panels to smarter energy use, we’re committed to running our homes in ways that care for the future.
We’ve partnered with green energy experts and installed solar panels on all our homes to minimise our reliance on fossil fuels. In 2019, we won the Energy Efficiency Award in the ‘Renewable Heat Installer’ category and received commendation in the ‘Best Large Scale Project’ category.
Because caring for your loved one means caring for the world we leave behind.
