If you've ever wanted to run a business that changes lives - not just balance sheets - Radfield Home Care offers the perfect opportunity. Backed by award-winning training, practical support and a proven business model, this is a franchise designed to help you start, scale and succeed with clarity and confidence as you help older people to live independently and stay connected to what matters most.

Your Journey with Radfield: Experts in the Business of Care™

Backed by 40 years’ experience at the heart of the UK care industry, Radfield Home Care has stood as a beacon of genuine human connection for loved ones and their families. However, this opportunity is not just about our exceptional legacy; it's about what this legacy means for you.

Radfield's story begins in the caring professions: founded independently by siblings Dr Hannah MacKechnie (a qualified GP) and Alex Green (finance and business) but built on a family legacy that started with a residential home in Shrewsbury.

From the outset, their purpose was clear - not just to provide care, but to create a business founded on compassion, community connection and genuine human relationships.

This is a family-centred business built on compassion and community, which perfectly balances commercial success with it’s Be There™ movement, when it’s most important. However, this is about more than just building a business. It’s an investment in becoming the person you want to be; a business leader who can deliver real, meaningful community impact.

You’ll become part of a nationwide community of business owners united by a shared goal: to make ageing a more positive experience.

Does technology really have a place in something as hands-on as care?

September 17, 2025

How much does technology really make your life easier?

If you’re anything like us, you’re going to have a pretty mixed answer to that: sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much. Social media, email, scheduling software, AI… they’re all handy, but sometimes it can also feel like they’re more trouble than they’re worth.

So, can technology actually make any kind of positive difference when it comes to care?

One of the big things that draws so many people to the Radfield Home Care franchise is just how people-focused they are. Not just with their clients, but with their carers, franchise partners, and the wider community. They really stand out from so many other care providers in just how much compassion and empathy goes into everything they do. For them, it’s never just a numbers game, it’s about real people and their needs.

Radfield’s “Be There” philosophy of truly showing up for people, emotionally and personally, is so important when it comes to exactly that kind of genuine human connection, you might ask: can technology really support that, or does it just get in the way?

Well, Radfield’s Co-founder and CEO, Alex Green, has given a lot of thought to that very question, and he’s pretty optimistic the right kind of technology has a lot to offer. When used wisely, it’s already having a positive impact on people’s lives.

Alex’s latest article on this topic is: The benefits of investment in Home Care Technology

Here are some of the key highlights:

Technology isn’t just an add-on or something nice to have in care anymore – there’s a lot of great stuff out there which has been proven to really work
Using the right kind of technology is already having such a positive impact that the CQC has made it a big part of how they assess providers
AI is saving lives – it can detect even the smallest of health changes or problems way ahead of time, making early intervention so much more effective
Technology absolutely can help carers and providers be more efficient and reduce costs, while still not losing sight of what’s important
Perhaps, most importantly, it helps people stay connected to friends and family

That’s a quick summary, so please do find the article on LinkedIn and read the rest to get a full understanding. Basically, what Alex has said is that technology can never replace compassion and empathy, but it can help carers and providers create more space for it where it matters most.

And it’s not just theory, either – it’s already happening with Radfield’s Connected Care services, where OKEachDay daily check-ins and GPS pendant alarms are playing a huge role in helping them fulfil their mission of helping our nation age well and remain connected to the things that matter most.

Not technology for its own sake, but real technology helping real people stay safely independent.

This is the difference between a good care franchise, and an outstanding care franchise

Plenty of care providers can deliver a solid service, but the truly great ones are those that can successfully bridge the gap between experience and innovation, between technology and empathy. Unlike the large American franchises dominating the market, Radfield combines a long heritage of care in the UK with a keen eye on the future. It’s all about embracing change in a meaningful way which really delivers for everyone involved.

That’s exactly what the Radfield Home Care franchise is doing, and it’s exactly what sets us apart when it comes to the future of care in UK. Imagine what it could do to help you transform your community, and your life, for the better...
