HC-One
HC-One is Britain's largest care home operator, with more than 275 care homes across England, Scotland and Wales specialising in dementia, nursing and residential care for older people. History HC-One was formed following the collapse of the UK's then-largest care home operator, Southern Cross Healthcare. Entrepreneur Chai Patel, a doctor and former Chief Executive of Priory Group, formed HC-One, which became operational on 1 November 2011. Since its inception, HC-One has broadened its offering across the UK by acquiring care homes from providers including Bupa, Helen McCardle Care, and Meridian Healthcare. It also opened three newly built care homes between December 2020 and October 2021, including its first care home in York – Mossdale Residence. In 2021, HC-One also announced its refurbishment programme, to modernise the living environments of more than 200 care homes across the company. In November 2018, HC-One was awarded Care Home Group of the Year at the National Care Awards in London. HC-One has also achieved a 9.5 average review score rating on carehome.co.uk from relatives and residents living in HC-One homes, with 24 care homes being announced in the top 20 in their region in 2022. In September 2020, James Tugendhat joined HC-One as Chief
