Asking for help and finding the right support for someone in need can be challenging. We try to make this process as easy as possible and our flexible, hands-on approach means that, together, we’ll make great things happen.
“Supporting one person to build their confidence, gain independence and enjoy a fulfilling life is a great achievement – to do this every day for hundreds of people is fantastic, and I am proud of our team for doing just that.”
Alan Tolan, Director

Our Vision is for all individuals to lead a fulfilling life. Our Mission is to provide personal and flexible support for people of all abilities. Our Values are dignity and respect, independence and choice, and empowerment. Our Belief is that all people, regardless of disability or illness, have the right to make informed choices, live as independently and as safely as possible within the community, and participate and contribute as equal citizens.
OUR STORY
Back in 2001, Sun Healthcare started life as a small, family company with two nursing homes in Yorkshire. Following a management buy-out in 2007, by directors Alan Tolan and Steven Garside, we have grown steadily and organically to become seven services, employing 400 staff across the Midlands and northern England.
SUN HEALTHCARE SERVICES
PERSON-CENTRED APPROACH
Our services are built around the individual, their needs, wishes and aspirations. Each person is actively involved in developing and reviewing the care they receive to give them choice and control over their life. We work in partnership with the individual’s family and other social and healthcare professionals to provide a holistic approach to support – as we know this is what will make the difference in achieving positive outcomes.
CHAMPIONS AND SERVICE USER FORUM
As part of our culture of inclusivity, involvement and independence, we have a service user forum to ensure the views of people within our homes and our supported living services are heard and acted upon.
We also have various ‘champions’ – both residents and staff – who act as advocates and help others in our homes. These include:
– Dignity champions
– Dementia champions
– Communications champions.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Whilst every day is full of achievements, both big and small, for our staff and residents, here are some accomplishments that we are proud of:
– Jubilee Court has achieved the Autism Accreditation from The National Autistic Society
– We are CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Scheme) accredited and a member of the British Safety Council
– Winner of the Great Care Awards in 2011 for best care team and finalist in 2010. Regional Winner of the Great British Care Awards in 2018 and finalists in 2019.
OUR PEOPLE
A service is only as good as the people who deliver it – and we understand that staff are our best asset. We choose employees based on skills and qualifications, but crucially, whether they have a caring and supportive nature. All staff undertake Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and are offered training and assistance to enable them to reach their potential.
“Our goal is to provide the type of quality care that really makes a difference. As a qualified nurse, I know how big an impact services like ours can have and how they can enrich people’s quality of life.”
Alan Tolan, Director.
