Building a stronger future for social care
Westcott Care was created with a clear ambition: to help build a more sustainable future for adult social care.
As a values-led owner and operator of care homes, we combine strategic investment, responsible leadership and operational expertise to help our homes thrive, while ensuring residents, families and colleagues remain at the heart of every decision. Our role isn’t simply to own care homes. It’s to create the conditions in which outstanding care can flourish, today and for generations to come.
Our Organisation
The adult social care sector continues to evolve. An ageing population, increasingly complex care needs and ongoing social care reform all highlight the need for organisations that combine compassionate care with resilient leadership and sustainable investment.
Westcott has been built to meet that challenge. We support residential care, nursing care and specialist care services through investment in our people, properties, governance, technology and professional expertise, while empowering local leadership teams to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we invest in the individuality of every home. By preserving each home’s character and supporting its long-term future, we’re building an organisation that’s both resilient and deeply rooted in the communities it serves.
How We Build Better Care
Everything we do is guided by a simple belief: exceptional care is created through exceptional leadership, thoughtful investment and a commitment to people. These principles shape the way we support our homes today while preparing them for the future.
Long-Term Vision
We believe great care is built for the long term. Through responsible investment and careful planning, we're creating sustainable care homes that can continue supporting residents, families and communities for generations to come.
Supporting Local Leadership
Every Westcott home has its own identity, team and community. Rather than imposing a standardised model, we support local leaders with the resources, governance and expertise they need to deliver outstanding care in a way that feels authentic to their home.
Responsible Growth
Growth has never been our objective in itself. We carefully invest in homes, services and partnerships that share our commitment to person-centred care, continuous improvement and long-term sustainability.
Investing Beyond Buildings
Exceptional care depends on more than beautiful environments. That's why we invest in our colleagues, estates, digital innovation, governance and operational support, creating the foundations that allow outstanding care to flourish every day.
Our Board
Westcott’s Board brings together extensive experience across health and social care, investment, governance and organisational leadership. Together, they provide the strategic direction and responsible oversight that supports our long-term vision for high-quality care.
Andrew Whelan
Founder & Executive Chair
Andrew is a health and social care leader with over 25 years’ experience comprising the ownership, governance, financing and transformation of health and care organisations in the UK and internationally.
Andrew is a health and social care leader with over 25 years’ experience comprising the ownership, governance, financing and transformation of health and care organisations in the UK and internationally. His career combines senior leadership roles in care delivery with deep experience of investment, capital structuring and organisational change in complex, highly regulated environments.
He began his career as a senior healthcare investment banker at Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, advising corporates, investors and governments on M&A, financing and strategy across the health and care sector. He later moved into operational and executive roles, including serving as Chief Executive and Board Director of a private equity-backed elderly care home business through a period of transformation and successful exit.
His decision to move from advisory roles into ownership and operation was shaped by personal experience. Whilst supporting his own grandmother through the care system, Andrew saw first-hand how fragmented, opaque and difficult it could be to navigate, even for a family with medical and social care expertise. That experience sharpened his conviction that the system does not consistently work as it should for the people who rely on it, and reinforced his commitment to building care organisations that combine compassion, clarity, quality and long-term sustainability. Further reflections on this experience and the wider need for system reform are set out in an article published by Future Care Capital: “We must fix our broken care system so families don’t suffer like mine.”
Alongside Westcott Care, Andrew has extensive board-level experience as a Chair, Non-Executive Director and Charity Trustee. He is currently a Trustee and Board Director of Medical Detection Dogs and was the Founding Chair of Future Care Capital, where he led the transformation of a long-established charity into an independent organisation focused on enabling better future health and care through system reform, innovation and investment.
Andrew has also advised the UK Government through Healthcare UK, a joint initiative of the Department of Health and Social Care, the Department for International Trade and NHS England, leading work on inward investment into health and social care and authoring internationally published analysis on ageing societies and elderly care.
His work is grounded in the belief that high-quality care, ethical leadership and commercial sustainability are interdependent, with a focus on building organisations that deliver long-term value for individuals, communities and society.
