“Am I doing the right thing?”

It’s a question so many families ask when looking for care for a loved one. There’s uncertainty, there’s guilt, and an overwhelming desire to get it right.

At Aria Care, we’ve supported hundreds of families through these feelings, and we understand how deeply emotional they can be.

That’s why we don’t just offer care options.

We offer guidance, reassurance, and a human voice on the end of the phone or in any of our homes who truly listens.

Whether you’re preparing for the future or responding to a sudden change in circumstances, our compassionate teams are here to help you navigate it all, with practical advice and genuine heart.

We provide:
✔️ Residential & Nursing Care
✔️ Dementia Support
✔️ Respite Breaks & Convalescent Stays
✔️ Palliative & End-of-Life Care
✔️ Day Support Services

Finding the right care isn’t just a checklist, it’s a journey, but you don’t have to travel alone.

What turns a care home into home?

It’s not just bricks, beds, or beautiful lounges - it’s the feeling you get when someone remembers how you like your tea. When a favourite song plays over lunch and suddenly you’re seventeen again. It’s laughter coming in from the garden, the smell of fresh scones baking, and the gentle comfort of being known.

At Aria Care, we believe that the best care is all about connection.

Every day, our teams go beyond providing support: they build relationships. From our personalised care plans and warm, home-cooked meals, to thoughtful activities that spark joy and memories, we make sure each resident feels not just cared for, but truly seen.

Everyone belongs here, and everyone deserves to keep living with dignity, purpose, and love - in a place that really feels like home.

Today Artur left Kippington for the last time being the home manager. I think I can speak for many people when I say it is sad to see him go but wish him all the best in his next venture.

Onto our next fund raising event. Please donate and support this amazing charity who complete fantastic work. And wish me luck 😂

Hi there, This September, I’m walking 30 miles for Dementia UK – a cause close to my heart. Just £8 could pay for the telephone costs of two families calling its free Dementia Helpline, so any support would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

Successful launch of eMAR in our homes!

We are delighted to share that our transition to Electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR) is well underway. We first went live in Scoonie House, and following this success, we have now also gone live in Strathview and Oak Manor.

Throughout this process, each home has been supported by our Quality Team, ensuring colleagues felt confident and prepared to make the change. While there was some initial nervousness, the feedback from teams has been extremely positive, with colleagues quickly getting to grips with the new system and recognising the benefits it brings.

The eMAR system (Camascope) replaces paper-based records with a safe, digital platform. It provides clear, real time information on every resident’s medication, prompts timely administration, and reduces the risk of errors such as missed or duplicate doses. It also creates a full, easily auditable history of medication management, which supports improved compliance and oversight. Most importantly, it gives colleagues more time to focus on delivering high quality care rather than paperwork.

We have also found the online support from Boots to be extremely helpful during this transition, providing additional reassurance and guidance when needed.

We are incredibly proud of the teams at Scoonie House, Strathview, and Oak Manor for embracing this change so positively. Their commitment sets the tone for the rest of our homes, and we are excited for all homes to go live in the coming months.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this a success - your hard work is making a real difference.

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!

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.
