AURA Care Living was awarded second place in estate agents’ Knight Frank prestigious Luxury Care Home Awards 2017.

The care facility providers are currently building Stratton House, a large retirement village and care home in Cirencester with the help of the investment group, Octopus Healthcare.

The company, which is in its infancy, has only just opened its first care home in May of this year – Kings Lodge in Surrey – and collected the award at a glittering dinner in London.

Peter Lloyd, marketing director of Aura Care Living, was delighted with the award, and said: “We are only really in our first year, so recognition like this at such an early stage means the world to us.

“Without doubt, residents that are empowered to make more decisions about their own life, the place they live and how their care home is run will have a much more positive experience,” he added.
