Residential and domiciliary care services provider Healthcare Homes has appointed Martin Hill as operations director of its Manorcourt Homecare and Live-in care services.

Hill has more than two decades experience of the care industry, beginning in 2003 with Craegmoor and later working at Summercare, Affinity Trust and Sussex Healthcare in turnaround, development and leadership roles.

Hill said: “I have known Healthcare Homes from a distance for some time and having met the team here I am very much looking forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of the organisation. There have been some excellent foundations laid in the Homecare and Live-in parts of the business and my background will enable me to leverage the intrinsic quality within these businesses and help them continue to develop and grow.”

Healthcare Homes’ chief operations officer Helen Gidlow commented: “[Hill’s] wealth of experience, coupled with his strong leadership skills and focus on quality, make him the ideal candidate to lead these two important parts of our business.

“Manorcourt Homecare was already a respected name in East Anglia at the time it became part of the Healthcare Homes group with a proud reputation for delivering quality domiciliary care services to self-funders and a trusted partner to local authorities across the region. We are excited to be entering a new phase of growth with Martin at the helm.”

Healthcare Homes operates 48 care homes across East Anglia, the Home Couties and Southwest England, and 10 homecare branches in East Anglia.
