Atkinsons Private Nursing Homes (APNH) was founded in 1977 by the late Mr. A.V. (Victor) Atkinson. The first of our current homes to be opened was Haldane House, followed by Longlea in 1989 and Fourways in 2006. Several other care homes were bought in between as the group expanded during the 1980s.
In 1984, Victor met his future wife and business partner, a fellow care home owner called Moira McTeggart, to whom he sold a small care home, and therefore joined the family group. This partnership continued until 2001 when Victor asked me to assist him in the managing the rebuild of Longlea into a purpose built home.

At Atkinson's we believe that it's the quality of the staff that creates the warm, welcoming and supportive environment that the people we support flourish in. We understand that for some people selecting a nursing/care home can be a time of apprehension, as it marks a significant change in the relationship you have with your loved ones.
We currently have two private nursing homes and a residential care home. A residential home is for people who just require assistance with day to day living and personal care. Nursing homes support people who have conditions that require clinical support from qualified nurses, Dementia, Alzheimer's and diabetes to name but a few.

Working in Health and Social Care for many is a vocational calling and this is true for all the staff working within our homes. All our staff have been recruited through a value based process, as we understand that a person's values can't be taught and this is one of the most important aspects of providing support for someone who is losing their independence.
If you believe that you share our values and passion for delivering the best support we can, then please get in touch. We are always interested in hearing from people who want to achieve outstanding outcomes for people. If you are new to care then we will offer you the support you need to become the best support worker you can be.
