Cera’s technology and network have been recognised by industry awards including Deloitte Fast 50 (#6 in 2022, #8 in 2021, #26 in 2020), Sunday Times Fast Track, and Home Care Awards’ Most Outstanding Home Care Provider.

At Cera, we operate as Europe's leading digital-first home healthcare provider, combining technology, artificial intelligence, and frontline care delivery. Established with a core mission to revolutionise healthcare by moving medical services out of hospitals and directly into people's homes, our model is built on improving patient outcomes, alleviating pressures on public healthcare systems, and redefining the future of social care.

Who We Are

Operating through our headquarters in London (founded in 2015 by Dr. Ben Maruthappu MBE, Marek Sacha, and Martin Ocenas, and chaired by former CQC CEO Sir David Behan), our organisation brings together thousands of nurses, care professionals, data scientists, and healthcare operators. Fully regulated in compliance with national standards (Care Quality Commission [CQC], Care Inspectorate, and equivalent UK regulatory bodies), we partner extensively with more than one hundred UK local authorities and two-thirds of NHS Integrated Care Systems to deliver high-volume, tech-enabled care.

• Domiciliary & Personal Care: Delivering daily visiting care, assistance with personal hygiene, medication management, and daily living support.
• Specialised Care Pathways: Offering round-the-clock live-in care, extra care housing, supported living, nursing and complex care, and specialist support for individuals with learning disabilities or dementia.
• AI-Powered Predictive Analytics & App Ecosystems: Utilising proprietary machine learning and predictive tools via mobile apps to forecast health risks (such as predicting falls days in advance), monitor vital signs, and streamline care logistics.

Our Approach & Values
