Colten Care is a family-owned health and social care provider focused on residential and nursing support for older adults. Based in Ringwood, Hampshire, it operates a network of care homes across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, and West Sussex, offering residential, general nursing, dementia, and short-stay care, and all established services have been rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. The group employs a substantial workforce to deliver these services, and each home is designed with a distinct character while maintaining a welcoming sense of home. In the broader health care sector, Colten Care emphasises person-centred care and dementia-friendly communities as core elements of its approach, aiming to be recognised as both the care home provider of choice and the employer of choice. A recent development shows independent recognition of its standing, with Colten Care named among the Top 20 Care Home Groups in March 2026 based on Carehome.co.uk reviews.
