Care Visions Residential

Care Visions Residential (operating under Care Visions Group Limited) is a UK‑based provider of specialist children's residential childcare, therapeutic intervention frameworks, and alternative youth support services.

The organisation offers holistic, person‑centred care within safe, community‑based spaces and specialised group homes across regional hubs, helping vulnerable individuals build resilience and positive outcomes.

Who We Are

Care Visions Residential operates therapeutic residential settings, complex need short‑break setups, and dedicated trauma‑informed frameworks for children and young people, particularly those who have experienced profound abuse, developmental neglect, attachment disorders, or Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD).

The organisation was established in 2000 and has grown to become Scotland's largest independent provider of residential services for young people, managing an extensive network of specialised therapeutic homes across Falkirk, Stirling, Dumfries and Galloway, and the wider Scottish central belt.

The service combines structured relational support, personalised education pathing, baseline independent life skills training, and active multi‑agency healthcare planning to support each individual’s holistic development.

The care and support teams include experienced residential childcare practitioners, therapeutic coordinators, and dedicated Registered Managers who create personalised development programmes based on the unique requirements of young people aged between 6 and 18 years who cannot safely reside within their family home.

Care Visions Residential’s settings operate under strict compliance with the Children’s Homes Regulations, utilising evidence‑based therapeutic models to offer stable environments focused on long-term recovery and healing.
