Exemplar Health Care began as a healthcare consultancy and training firm. But we soon saw a gap in the sector: a lack care homes for younger adults living with complex needs.That insight shaped the mission we still live by today - to transform complex care and provide fulfilling opportunities for the people who need it most.We’re now proud to have more than 60 care homes across England, providing nursing care for adults living with dementia, neuro-disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities.Whoever you are, and whatever experience you bring, there are lots of ways you can help us make every day better for the people we support.What''s happening at Exemplar Health CareSay cheese, Blackpool

Guy used to be a keen photographer - and this week he dusted off his camera to head out on a day trip to Blackpool ?

With the sun shining and a perfect blue sky above, he was in his element capturing the seaside scenes

We love supporting people to reconnect with the hobbies that mean the most.

For Guy, that’s photography - and moments like this show why it’s so important

Here’s to many more adventures behind the lens, Guy!A tug of war, a sack race, and a ring toss… the game faces were ON at Lakeview''s sports day

Everyone dived into a day packed with fun, fitness, and friendly rivalry

The stakes were high, but Firtree Unit triumphed and took home the trophy. Congratulations!

Because staying active should always feel this goodWe''ve found our heart horses at Bennett Court

Last week, the team spent the day with New Beginnings Horses - and what a treat it was!

New Beginnings offers a loving and safe home for retired racehorses, where they’re pampered, groomed, and spoiled every day

Everyone had the best time meeting their new friends - if you couldn''t tell from their smiles!
