Millennium Care Recognised Among the Best in the UK at the Lottie Awards

Millennium Care is proud to announce a hat-trick of national recognition at this year's Lottie Awards, one of the care sector's most respected accolades. From a Top 10 place among the UK's small care providers to standout wins for Worthington Lake and Norley Hall, the results confirm what our residents, families and staff already know: this is care that goes above and beyond, not just in Wigan, but on a national stage.

Millennium Care named a top 10 small provider

Lottie's Top 10 Provider rankings assess operators on listing quality across their entire portfolio, employee satisfaction sourced from Glassdoor, and social media presence. Millennium Care has secured a place in the Top 10 Small Providers (groups with fewer than 10 care homes), placing us alongside the very best small, independent operators in the country. It's a reflection of the consistency, transparency and pride our teams bring to every home, every day, and a real statement of intent as we continue to grow.

Worthington Lake: Top 10 for best outdoor spaces

Nowhere is that pride more visible than at Worthington Lake, which has been named in the Top 10 for Best Outdoor Spaces nationally. Set right alongside the water, Worthington Lake offers residents something genuinely rare in care: a home where the outdoors is part of everyday life, not an afterthought.

Residents can take gentle strolls along the lakeside paths, breathe in the fresh air, and watch the seasons change over the water, walks that are as good for wellbeing as they are for the soul. The grounds have been thoughtfully designed with wellbeing at their heart, from peaceful seating areas for quiet reflection to open spaces that support an active, engaged lifestyle. A full calendar of outdoor activities, from gardening clubs to lakeside social events, means residents aren't just looking at the view, they're living life within it.

This award recognises the breadth and quality of on-site amenities and outdoor facilities, and Worthington Lake's setting, gardens and lakeside walks have rightly been singled out as among the finest in the country.

Two homes in the top 100 care homes in the UK

Rounding out our success, both Worthington Lake and Norley Hall have been named among the Top 100 Care Homes in the UK, placing them in an elite group scored against seven rigorous, independent metrics including CQC ratings, family feedback, enquiry responsiveness, facilities, activities and more.

A national statement for a local group

To achieve recognition across three separate categories, as a provider, and through two individual homes, is a remarkable achievement for a group rooted in the Wigan community. It places Millennium Care firmly among the UK's leading care operators, built on the same values that have always defined us: genuine care, beautiful surroundings, and a commitment to helping residents live full, connected lives.

We want to thank our incredible teams, residents and families for making these achievements possible, and we can't wait to welcome you to see what makes homes like Worthington Lake so special.
