Westcott Care

Westcott Care is a values-led owner, investor and operator of care homes in the UK. The Group owns and supports residential and nursing care services delivered through its operating brands: Brancaster and Cinnabar. Westcott is a long-term platform for sustainable, fit-for-the-future care. Its focus is on combining high-quality, person-centred provision with robust governance, professional support services, disciplined investment and responsible capital stewardship. This model is designed to ensure that homes can thrive operationally while remaining resilient, well-governed and aligned to the needs of residents, families and local communities. At the heart of Westcott’s strategy is the development of locally embedded 'Communities of Care'. Each home is being supported to operate as a centre of excellence for defined models of care, working in partnership with local health, wellbeing and community services to provide the right support, at the right time, in the right setting. Westcott's role is to act as owner, steward and enabler. Group-level governance, leadership, finance, estates, digital and operational support functions are designed to free home-level teams to focus on what matters most: delivering compassionate, high-quality care that respects individual purpose, dignity and quality of life. Westcott was founded in 2011 by Andrew Whelan, who brings over 25 years’ experience across the investment, governance, financing and transformation of health and care organisations in the UK and internationally. His work is grounded in the belief that high-quality care, ethical leadership and commercial sustainability are interdependent.
