Our story
About BIRA Care Homes
A family-run group of care homes across South Wales and Herefordshire, built on a promise that the details matter.
Real homes, built on family values
BIRA Care Homes was founded in 2011 on a simple but powerful belief: that those who have given so much to society deserve to spend their later years surrounded by dignity, comfort and true belonging.
What began as a single home in Newport has grown into seven homes — in Newport, Abergavenny, Skewen, Swansea, Beaufort and near Hereford — providing residential, nursing, dementia, respite and palliative care for older people across the region. And we continue to grow.
For over fourteen years we have built our homes on family values, treating every resident as one of our own — creating not institutions, but real homes filled with warmth, compassion and harmony. Every home is regulated and inspected by Care Inspectorate Wales, or the Care Quality Commission in England, and independently reviewed by families on carehome.co.uk, where the group scores 9.6 out of 10.
