Lifeways Community Care Limited ("Lifeways") is a market leading provider of supported living for people with complex needs and the only provider offering nationwide coverage.
Lifeways offers specialist care to over 900 people with challenging needs, including autism, psychiatric or learning disabilities and acquired brain injuries, in their own home or a community setting. This flexible and tailor-made support can range from a few hours a day to fully staffed 24 hour packages providing service users a real choice to move into more independent living environments.
In February 2008 Lifeways acquired Kentwood Limited, a provider of care and support to adults in residential, domiciliary and supported living environments.
The management team is led by Paul Marriner, CEO. August Equity has appointed Richard Clough as chairman, who has a long and successful track record in the healthcare industry.
