Kingsley Healthcare

Kingsley Healthcare – a HealthInvestor winner two years running!

We are thrilled to have won the Residential Elderly Care Provider of the Year (Large Group) award for a second consecutive year.

Kingsley Healthcare CEO Daya Thayan said: “To win this distinguished award two years running is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to the dedication of our incredible colleagues. Their passion to deliver outstanding, person-centred care is what sets Kingsley apart. This recognition also underscores our steadfast commitment to lead with compassion, integrity, and innovation – values that helped us become the UK’s first B Corp-certified large care home group earlier this year.”

Meanwhile, Kingsley co-founder Sumi Thayan added: “As a family-run organisation with strong family values at our core, this award is a celebration of our people. It reflects the collective efforts of every team member, and we are proud of the supportive, nurturing environments we create for both residents and staff.”

Representing the next generation of leadership, Executive Directors Cameron and Ewan Thayan said: “As a family, we are committed to long-term investment in care. We are proud to serve communities across the UK and have ambitious plans to expand our footprint while maintaining the personal, community-focused approach that defines Kingsley.”

Judges were impressed by the quality of living environment in Kingsley’s homes and the fact the company remains family-run, with family values, after 26 years. They also commended Kingsley’s investment in technology to improve the service and enrich the lives of residents.

This year’s award submission highlighted Kingsley Healthcare’s commitment to excellence as a proud family-run business, continuing to invest significantly in both existing homes and new, purpose-built luxury facilities. Central to the submission was the transformation of existing homes such as Queen Charlotte in Weymouth, where substantial capital investment has enabled the creation of premium environments that have become the care home of choice in their communities.
The judges also recognised Kingsley’s achievement in commissioning four state-of-the-art care homes – King’s Court and Eversley Lodge in Norfolk, Olney Meadows in Buckinghamshire, and Sycamore Heights in Bedford – all delivered within an ambitious 14-month timeframe. These homes reflect the group’s vision of setting new benchmarks in luxury care provision.
Our design team involves leading companies such as architects Condy Lofthouse, interior designers Homesmiths, landscaping designers The Environment Partnership and even specialist lighting designers Lighting Design House.

The submission further showcased Kingsley’s continued investment in digital innovation, enabling more focused and personalised care, and emphasised the group’s expansion into specialist learning disability services. In addition, the launch of the Kingsley Training Academy was recognised for its role in shaping clear career pathways across the care sector – nurturing talent, empowering colleagues and reinforcing our commitment to long-term sustainability and quality care.
