Adept Care Homes is proud to announce that it has been named a finalist in the upcoming Care Home Awards 2026, marking another significant milestone in what has already been an exciting period of recognition for the Midlands-based care group.
Residents at Harrier House Care Home in Hucknall were treated to a heartwarming spring surprise as a group of adorable lambs paid a special visit — bringing laughter, joy and plenty of smiles along with them.
Since opening in May 2021, Harrier House has built a strong and treasured intergenerational relationship with the teachers and children, especially the Kindness Crew of Flying High Academy. What began as a community connection has blossomed into a heartwarming partnership filled with shared activities, learning, and friendship.
The festive event brought together choirs from across Adept Care Homes for a joyful celebration of music and togetherness. Harrier House stood out by performing an original Christmas song written by residents and staff, earning them the award for Best Creative Choir.
The award recognises Adept Care Homes’ continued commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred dementia care through innovative practice, compassionate leadership and dedicated teams across its homes. Judges praised Adept for its forward-thinking approach, focus on meaningful engagement, and the positive impact its care has on residents and their families.
Harrier House Care Home Resident Reflects on Childhood Experience at Historic Landmark
It was a trip down memory lane for Joseph “Joe” Ginger, a resident at Harrier House Care Home in Hucknall, who recently fulfilled a lifelong wish to revisit Wollaton Hall – a place that holds a special place in his heart.
For Joe, the visit was far more than a simple outing; it was a return to a beloved part of his youth. At just 13 years old, Joe received his first bicycle from his uncle – a gift that opened the door to countless adventures with friends exploring the scenic grounds of Wollaton Hall and watching the graceful deer that roam the park.
The Care Group of the Year nomination is particularly special, as Adept Care Homes proudly won this award in 2024. Being shortlisted again reflects the group’s continued commitment to providing outstanding, resident-focused care across its homes.
