Where every dish is made with care - and served with a smile. 💙

At Aria Care, we know food is so much more than fuel. It’s a source of comfort, connection, and a true sense of home.

👨‍🍳 Our chefs work hand-in-hand with care teams to create meals that are not only nutritious, but also deeply personal - shaped by each resident’s tastes, cultural background, and dietary needs.

From familiar favourites to new flavours, every dish is an opportunity to bring people together - with hospitality from the heart.

Because dining at Aria isn’t just about what’s on the plate - it’s about how it makes you feel.

Dementia care should never be one-size-fits-all.

We believe that dementia doesn’t define a person and our approach to care reflects that.

Our specialist dementia communities are calm, familiar, and purpose-built to support comfort, independence and connection. From memory walls to sensory gardens, every detail is designed to help people feel safe, understood, and truly valued.

Whether it’s a quiet moment of recognition or a shared smile over afternoon tea, the little things matter most.

Leading with heart: Sue Smart featured in The Carer magazine! 🌟

We’re incredibly proud to see Sue Smart, Home Manager at Abbeycrest Nursing Home in Sonning Common, featured recently in The Carer for her outstanding leadership and dedication to care. 💙

With over 40 years of nursing experience, Sue has brought warmth, compassion, and transformation to Abbeycrest - taking the home from just 4 residents to full occupancy of 70, all without the use of agency staff. Her commitment to creating a supportive and connected team culture is truly inspiring.

From daily garden walks and resident check-ins to celebrating passions (like helping a resident publish her first book of paintings!), Sue brings heart and purpose to every moment. ✨

She says it best:
“To get a smile when you see a resident or family member is priceless. It means everything to me to see them happy.”

👏 Congratulations, Sue - we’re so proud of you and all that you do!

We’re proud to announce that we’ve chosen Sona as our new end-to-end workforce management partner, supporting our digital transformation journey across all Aria Care homes. 💻

With nearly 4,000 colleagues across our care communities, Sona will help us bring together Scheduling, HR, Payroll and Employee Engagement into one seamless, easy-to-use platform - designed specifically for the care sector.

This move will reduce admin, improve data accuracy, and empower our teams with the tools they need - all in one place.

💬 As Russ Auty, Aria Care’s Project Manager, shared:

“Sona is by far the smoothest HR platform I’ve ever come across… This is exactly what modern WFM technology should look like – it just makes everyone’s life easier.”

From AI-powered insights to lightning-fast development and automation, we’re confident this partnership will help us deliver even better outcomes for our colleagues - and ultimately, for the people we care for.

Joy Across Generations at Denham Manor!

Our home was buzzing with laughter and love as we welcomed Year 3 and 4 pupils from Denham E-Act Academy for a truly heartwarming day of intergenerational fun.

As part of the Happiness Programme by Social-Ability, residents and students enjoyed sensory-based games like balloon popping, fishing, and even a few rounds of air hockey (a resident favourite!).

The day was filled with smiles, shared stories, and meaningful connection - proving that joy knows no age. Music rounded off the celebrations with a singalong of timeless classics, sparking cherished memories for many. 🎶

A huge thank you to the brilliant team at Social-Ability for bringing this wonderful experience to life and supporting the wellbeing of our residents through innovative, inclusive technology.

100 years of stories, service, and a little bit of rum! 🥃🎂

We were honoured to celebrate a remarkable milestone at Knowle Park Nursing Home as resident Peter turned 100!

Born in 1925, Peter’s life has been full of rich experiences - from his early engineering apprenticeship to his proud service in the Royal Navy. He’s a man of quick wit, deep conversations, and a true love for chess and family life.

With two daughters, five grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, Peter is surrounded by love and laughter. His secret to a long life? “Just enjoy life as it is - and drink a bit of rum!”

Thank you for sharing your warmth, wisdom, and humour with all of us at Aria Care.

Aria Care is proud to be working with Circom – a leader in sustainable waste management – to ensure that 100% of our general waste, recycling, glass and food waste now goes to zero landfill across the business. 🌍

Recently, members of our team, including James Clear and Rowen Campbell, visited Circom’s cutting-edge facilities – home to the largest mattress recycling operation in Europe. Witnessing the incredible processes first-hand, from recycling to innovative reuse (yes, even the boardroom table!), really brought home the impact of this partnership.

A huge thank you to the Circom team for the warm welcome and inspiring tour. We're excited about what we can achieve together on our journey toward greater sustainability. 💚

Driving Strategy from the Heart: Our Home Managers Workshop 🌟

This week we came together for our quarterly home managers workshop focusing on what truly matters: delivering our strategy while keeping quality and the person at the centre of everything we do.

Using our blend of compassion and professionalism, we worked through the decisions and actions needed to continue to deliver outstanding care.

Tapping into the knowledge and experience across the whole group, we explored how we can continue to grow and innovate—without ever losing sight of the individuals who live and work in our homes.

We spent time looking at our own personality preferences, as part of our ongoing commitment to developing and supporting effective and compassionate leaders.

It was inspiring to see the passion, insight, and dedication in the room, as well as a strong sense of team ethic.
