Four Seasons' origins date back to the late 1980's.The company has developed through both the acquisition and construction of care facilities and has firmly established a reputation for professionalism in all aspects of its care operations.

Four Seasons ranks amongst the highest rated quality of care providers with c 88% of its homes in England rated good or excellent by the Care Quality Commission inspection ratings. Our care home's division has taken a sector lead in the development of specialist services for residents with higher dependency needs including nursing care for infirm elderly, respite, step-up and step-down care, end-of-life care and an award winning specialist dementia service that is studied internationally.

Our Services

Our Specialised Services Division, The Huntercombe Group, is in its own right one of the UK's leading specialist healthcare providers, with hospitals and centres located throughout England and Scotland, delivering wide ranging professional treatments in the areas of: Adult Mental Health and Learning Disabilities, Brain Injury and Neurodisability, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), Eating Disorders, Addictions and Children with specialist needs.

The Group is trading successfully and occupancy has continued to increase against the sector trend at circa 88%-89%.

Earlier this year Four Seasons and Terra Firma, a leading private equity firm, concluded an transaction under which Terra Firma has acquired Four Seasons from the various banks and financial institutions who were our owners. This change in the shareholding structure of our parent company will not have any direct impact on the day to day operations in our homes and specialised care facilities.

The priority is to ensure continuous improvement in quality of care as a precondition for building a successful and sustainable business. Together we intend to grow Four Seasons by both increasing the number of beds we provide and increasing occupancy rates. Terra Firma intends to invest in Four Seasons' estate over time, to enhance existing properties and potentially to acquire homes and develop new ones.

The senior management of the company share a wealth of experience of delivering care services, in many cases due to lengthy and pre-eminent positions in the caring sector.
Four Seasons' experience, expertise and financial strength make it a significant force in the UK healthcare market.
