We support, inform and speak on behalf of older people in care
At the Relatives & Residents Association we believe that older people who need care should have a positive experience and enjoy a good quality of life. We want to see outstanding care delivered in services throughout England. Through our Corporate Membership scheme, we work in partnership with care services, encouraging provider organisations and individual homes to improve the care they deliver.
We know that even with the best management in place and a dedicated staff team, achieving the highest standards of care is not always a straightforward process. Having access to the right support and resources has never been more crucial.

R&RA’s independence
R&RA will always pursue the best interests of individual residents on any care issue raised with us, and it makes no difference to this whether any care home or provider involved is or has any connection with a corporate member or donor to R&RA. Acceptance onto the scheme is not an endorsement of the provider, or their service, by R&RA. Corporate Members are not entitled to vote at R&RA’s AGM.
On application, providers will be asked to sign a Corporate Members Memorandum of Understanding, which sets out our partnership, including protecting R&RA’s independence and handling any potential conflicts of interest which might arise.
