The UK’s top 100 care homes for 2025 have just been announced by online care finder, Lottie, and Aria Care’s Thames View, is proud to be included on the list.
The first-ever Lottie Awards recognise and celebrate care homes across the UK that demonstrate exceptional commitment to residents, families, and staff. Lottie’s team conducted a comprehensive, data-driven review of thousands of homes across the UK, assessing them against key criteria that matter most to families when choosing care, including CQC ratings, enquiry response times, digital presence, team wellbeing, and resident feedback.
Thames View stood out for Care Quality, Digitisation, Operational Efficiency, and Workplace Culture, earning its place among the nation’s best. In addition, Thames View has been recognised in the Top 10 for Outdoor Spaces, and with its setting right on the River Thames, the beautiful grounds offer a haven of tranquillity.
“We are delighted to be named one of the UK’s top care homes,” said Paul Fenech, Care Home Manager at Thames View.
“Life at Thames View is filled with activity, spacious, luxurious accommodation, delicious food and fantastic care, and to have that recognised like this is an honour for the whole team. We make our residents’ lives memorable and our community into one big family. We are a relaxed and fun-loving care home, with the residents and their families at the heart of everything we do. Visitors to the home often comment on how welcoming and warm the home feels”
Will Donnelly, Co-Founder and CEO of Lottie, adds:
“The launch of the Lottie Awards is about recognising the incredible dedication of care professionals who make a real difference in people’s lives every day. To be named among the Top 100 from over 14,000 care homes nationwide is a huge achievement. These care homes are not just meeting residents’ needs, they’re redefining later living by creating vibrant and supportive communities that deliver exceptional care and experiences.”
About the Lottie Awards:
Launched in 2025 by Online Care Finder Lottie, the Lottie Awards highlight the UK’s Top 100 care homes based on excellence in four pillars: Quality of Care, Operational Excellence, Digital Impact, and Workplace Culture. Homes were evaluated through a rigorous, data-led process using over ten key indicators important to families, including regulator ratings, enquiry responsiveness, resident feedback, and staff wellbeing.
The Lottie Awards aim to provide families with trusted guidance on the best elderly care providers while recognising care homes that exceed expectations in support, community, and compassion.
