Celebrating 40 Years of Care

From a single care home in Weymouth in 1986 to supporting communities nationwide, our journey has grown, but our values have never changed. Family owned, people focus and driven by a commitment to exceptional care.

Since opening our first care home in Weymouth in 1986, Agincare has grown into one of the UK’s leading independent care providers.

Family‑owned, people‑focused and driven by a commitment to exceptional care, we’ve supported individuals, families and communities for four decades. From a single home in Weymouth to a nationwide presence with more than 170 locations and over 5,500 team members, our journey reflects our deep commitment to high‑quality, person‑centred care delivered with compassion, dignity and respect.

While much has changed over 40 years, our purpose remains the same: to deliver care that truly makes a difference to people’s lives every day, everywhere we operate.

40 Years of Impact

For 40 years, Agincare has been proud to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people who draw on our services, families and communities across England. What began as a single care home in Weymouth has grown into a nationwide network of services supporting people in a way that is personal, compassionate and rooted in dignity. Over the years, we’ve adapted to changing needs, expanded our services and embraced innovation all while staying true to our founding values.

Our impact goes beyond the numbers. Every hour of care delivered, every service we provide and every community we support represents a real person, a family and a story. From helping someone remain independent in their own home, to providing specialist care and support, our teams are there at the moments that matter most.

Our 40th anniversary is also an opportunity to give back to the communities we are proud to be part of.

We’re launching a number of initiatives designed to strengthen local connections and support wellbeing. This includes partnerships to offer accessible health checks for the people who draw on our services and their families, helping to promote preventative care and long-term health.

We’ll also be creating a lasting legacy by planting 40 oak tress across our locations, each representing a year of care, growth and community impact. These spaces will serve as a symbol of our roots and our ongoing commitment to the people and places we support.

Join our team

I was inspired to go into the care sector because I knew there were ways of providing a better quality of care than what was available at the time.

Since then I’m immensely proud that, in my opinion, we as a team have evolved into the best and greatest value care provider in the country.

Founder and Chairman, Derek Luckhurst

TIMELINE

Looking to the future

For 40 years, Agincare has been proudly family-owned, with no external investors and a long-term commitment to doing what’s right. While we’ve grown to support communities nationwide, our focus on people, both those we care for and those who care has never wavered.

Our values continue to guide everything we do. We put people first, deliver high-quality care with compassion and empower our teams to make a real difference every day. These principles aren’t just words on a page, they are the foundation of our culture, shaping how we work, how we care, and how we grow together.

As we celebrate 40 years, we honour the colleagues, families, and communities who have helped us stay true to our values and who will continue to shape our journey for the next 40.
