We are delighted to announce that Hartford Care has been named one of the UK’s Top 10 Large Care Providers in the Lottie Awards 2026. The award recognises the best in the UK care sector, celebrating care teams who consistently go above and beyond.
The ‘Large Care Provider’ category celebrates leading care organisations operating 30 or more care homes and making a significant impact across the UK. It recognises providers that combine scale with quality and consistently deliver high standards of care and support across their portfolio.
The top ten were selected through a data-led assessment of each provider’s homes across various categories, including facilities and activities on offer, CQC ratings, enquiry handling and verified Google reviews.
Will Donnelly, Co-Founder and CEO at Lottie, says:
“The Lottie Awards are all about celebrating the incredible people and partners who make care truly special. To be recognised as one of the UK’s Top 10 Large Care Providers is a huge achievement, and it’s fantastic to celebrate it in our second year of the Lottie Awards. Hartford Care is a shining example of what great care looks like, and we’re so proud to work alongside them in helping families across the country find the very best care for their loved ones.”
Kevin Shaw, CEO of Hartford Care, comments:
“We’re thrilled to be recognised as a top ten care provider. This accolade is testament to the incredible teams within our homes, as well as those working hard behind the scenes, to ensure every resident is cared for with compassion and respect within our kind and welcoming home communities.”
This recognition reflects the dedication of our colleagues across all 45 of our care homes in England and Wales, from our care and nursing teams to our chefs, activities coordinators, housekeeping staff and everyone who plays a part in making our homes welcoming places to live.
