About Us
Conway Group Healthcare
Conway Group Healthcare is a prominent niche healthcare provider in Northern Ireland. Operating as a core division of the broader Conway Group (a multi-disciplined organisation involved in construction and property), the healthcare branch specialises in high-quality residential and nursing care for the elderly.
Who We Are
Conway Group Healthcare is headquartered in Magherafelt, with its residential homes strategically located across Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Antrim, Bangor, and Derry/Londonderry.
The organisation is built on a "Family-First" philosophy. Their mission statement, "Our Family, Caring for Yours," reflects an ethos of integrating residents into a close-knit community rather than a clinical institution. They are recognised for their stability and long-term commitment to the region, having diversified from a construction background into a specialist provider that understands the importance of the physical environment in the healing and aging process.
They pride themselves on Environmental Excellence, leveraging the Group’s construction expertise to build and maintain homes that are purpose-built, modern, and aesthetically calming.
What We Do
Nursing & Residential Care
Operating eight specialist homes, including the Brooklands Healthcare network. These facilities cater to individuals who require various levels of support, from basic residential assistance to intensive 24-hour nursing care.
Dementia & Alzheimer’s Support
Providing dedicated units designed with sensory-friendly environments. Their staff are trained in specific dementia-care frameworks to manage the emotional and cognitive needs of residents with memory loss.
Palliative & End-of-Life Care
Offering sensitive, dignified care for residents in the final stages of life, focusing on pain management and emotional support for both the individual and their family members.
Respite & Short-Term Stays
Providing temporary care solutions for families who need a break from caregiving or for individuals who require a safe environment to recover after a hospital discharge.
Therapeutic Activities
Employing dedicated Activities Therapists to ensure residents remain socially engaged through tailored programs, including music therapy, light exercise, and community outings.
Approach & Values
Conway Group Healthcare focuses on Belonging, Safety, and Professionalism.
They prioritise Holistic Well-being, believing that care extends beyond medical needs to include nutritional excellence and social stimulation. Their approach is designed to be Supportive and Guiding; they offer families a "journey-led" experience, assisting with the daunting administrative and emotional process of moving a loved one into a care home.
A strong emphasis is placed on "The Little Things," with a culture that encourages staff to take extra time to understand the unique life stories and personal preferences of every resident.
Industry Role
Conway Group Healthcare plays a critical role in the Northern Ireland social care sector, acting as a high-capacity resource for regional Health and Social Care Trusts.
As a vertically integrated provider (building and operating their own homes), the organisation contributes to the infrastructure of the region by delivering modern, future-proofed care facilities. They act as a strategic partner for the Department of Health (NI), providing the essential bed capacity needed to manage the aging population's complex needs.
They offer a stable and premium care solution, making them a preferred choice for families who seek a provider that combines the warmth of a local family business with the professional standards of a major regional corporation.
