Dovehaven Care Homes is proud to be celebrating 40 years of operation, marking four decades of dedicated service to elderly residents and their families. 

Throughout the month of October, Dovehaven is hosting a wide range of events for staff and residents to celebrate this ruby anniversary. 

As the leading care provider in the North West, Dovehaven’s 40th birthday celebrations are a chance for the Dovehaven team and residents to celebrate and commemorate the company’s growth and ever-committed dedication to excellent care across the region. 

Dovehaven founder and owner Mark Gilbert said. 

“We have an amazing team at Dovehaven. We’ve built that team up over a number of years and we’re very proud of them and very proud of the care that they deliver.” 

Founders and owners Mark and Wendi Gilbert began Dovehaven Care Homes in 1983, when they opened Dovehaven Residential Home in Southport. 

Since then, the company has grown to over 20 care homes strong across the North West, providing residential, nursing, dementia and specialist health care. 

While the month of October is a chance for the Dovehaven team and residents to celebrate Dovehaven’s remarkable milestone, the Gilbert family want to take the opportunity give back and to say thank you to all of the individuals, families and local businesses that have helped and supported Dovehaven over the past 40 years.

“To every member of staff, every helper, every family member. A huge thank you to them all.” 

Dovehaven CEO Jenny Davies said: 

“I am extremely proud to lead the Dovehaven business, a business that has quality and care at the centre of everything we do. To work with owners and colleagues who have worked tirelessly to improve elderly care provision in the North West is an honour. 

“Whilst we are taking this opportunity to celebrate our 40 years of history, we are also focused on building a positive future for Dovehaven; continuing to foster an environment where people are proud to work, and a high quality of care for all our residents is at the heart of what we do.

“Here’s to the next 40 years and beyond.”

To commemorate the past 40 years of Dovehaven, the company has committed to carrying out 40 acts of kindness throughout the month of October. 

These good deeds will come in all shapes and sizes, and will be documented on Dovehaven’s social media, including its Instagram account @dovehaven_care_homes

Some of these acts may also be delivered throughout the community, and Dovehaven invites anyone who discovers an act of kindness to document it online, using the hashtag #Dovehaven40 

To celebrate its 40th birthday, Dovehaven has a jam-packed month of events planned.

Every Friday in October, the care team, residents and support team of Dovehaven’s care homes will be connecting via video call to join together in celebration and take part in a variety of events, including Bonanza Birthday Bingo and a virtual cocktail party. 

As well as the Friday events, Dovehaven’s homes will all be decorating their front doors, complete with a special 40th birthday wreath. 

They encourage everyone to keep their eyes peeled for the best dressed front doors, as you travel around Dovehaven’s homes.
