The home for elderly care
Mariposa Care is Careport Group's elderly care brand, operating nursing, residential and memory care homes across the United Kingdom. With homes in County Durham, Cumbria, Leeds, Newcastle upon Tyne and Oxfordshire, Mariposa Care provides long-term, respite and palliative care for older people in settings designed to feel like home.
Each Mariposa home is led by a dedicated team of nurses and care professionals, with care plans built around the individual - not the routine. Residents are supported to maintain their independence, make their own choices and live well, with round-the-clock nursing available for those who need it.
The portfolio includes The Old Prebendal Estate in Oxfordshire, where nursing and memory care at Old Prebendal House sits alongside independent assisted living at Old Prebendal Court - allowing couples with differing care needs to remain on the same estate as their circumstances change.
Mariposa Elderly Care in numbers
Mariposa Care's priority remains what it has always been - delivering excellent care to every resident, every day. As the portfolio improves and grows, that standard remains. Every new home, every new team member and every operational decision is measured against a simple question: does this make life better for the people in our care?
We are investing significantly in the physical estate across our homes, with an ongoing programme of refurbishment and improvement designed to create environments that are not only safe and comfortable but genuinely uplifting to live and work in. From communal spaces that encourage connection to private rooms that feel like home, we believe the setting matters as much as the care delivered within it.
Technology plays an increasingly important role in how we deliver and monitor care. Mariposa Care is introducing new digital systems across its homes to support clinical decision-making, improve communication between teams and families, and ensure that changes in a resident's condition are identified and acted upon quickly. Technology will never replace the human relationship at the heart of good care, but it can make sure nothing is missed.
We are equally committed to investing in our people. Ongoing training and professional development are central to our approach - not just to meet regulatory standards, but to build confident, skilled teams who take pride in what they do. Our ambition is for every Mariposa home to achieve an Outstanding rating from the CQC, and we know that starts with the people on the ground.
What customers say
[Testimonial]

"This is a very special home. The staff care for the residents with compassion. They are good communicators and the manager deals with any concerns sensitively and quickly. The reception and catering staff are welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent. The activity coordinator works well with the residents, treating them as individuals, taking a keen interest in their life stories. I would recommend this home to anyone."
My wife Carol has been in your care since December and I am very pleased to see she is settling in. She has Alzheimer's but your staff are so supportive and caring, so much thanks to all of your wonderful staff. I feel much more comfortable knowing that she is being cared for very well.

"My Mum has now settled in the home very well. She has had a bad year with everything but from the clinic, the hospital then came here. I now think she is happy and all the staff are amazing. They all know her by her first name. All staff and management are wonderful. The home is amazing."
