Jay Patel is the Managing Director of Acacia Care, which he established in 2004. He began his journey in Exeter, operating and managing his first care home with a strong commitment to improving the quality of life for older adults. Driven by the caring for his grandfather before opening his first Jay believes that everyone deserves the same level of care, kindness and independence. Acacia Care’s presence across the East Midlands now supports 500 older people in purpose built facilities.

The group currently has five additional new build homes in various stages of development. However, our priority remains preserving the core values on which Acacia Care was founded.
