A Place Built on Love, Not Just Bricks and Mortar

Our Story

Lavender Fields wasn’t built to be “just another care home.” It was built from the heart — by me, Chris Mitchell — because I believed people deserved something different. Something better.

After spending years seeing how impersonal and clinical care could become, I wanted to create a place where people felt genuinely at home — not just in their rooms, but in themselves. Somewhere they could relax, laugh, love, grieve, recover, heal, and grow — with the right support around them at every step.

We opened our doors with a simple promise:
We’ll walk with you — from the first moment you need a little help, through to every chapter that follows.

That’s what we still do today. No rush. No pressure. Just people helping people.

A Home for Life

Whether you're living independently in one of our bungalows, needing day-to-day support, or looking for end-of-life care that’s deeply personal — Lavender Fields is designed to be your home for life.

We don’t move people on.
We don’t shuffle them elsewhere.
We don’t treat people like numbers.

Everyone is seen. Known. Cared for.

Because it’s the little things that matter most — like a favourite mug, a warm laugh, a Sunday roast, or a friend who knows just how you like your tea.

Why We’re Different

Continuity of Care

You’ll know our team by name. Many of us have been here for years.

Community Feel

It’s a village, not a facility. Visitors come and go. Laughter travels.

Care That Grows With You

Start independently. Stay supported. Never feel out of place.

Real Conversation

No scripts. No spin. We speak human.

“I didn’t start Lavender Fields to build a care business. I started it to give people somewhere they could live well, and be loved — right to the end. We’re here for the moments that matter. Always have been.”

— Chris Mitchell, Founder
