PSP Healthcare Ltd
PSP Healthcare was born in 2005 when brothers Preyen and Shrien decided to move from their highly paid City Jobs to join their father, Prakash and build a business and career in healthcare.They saw a gap in the market for a family operated business that valued and retained personal relationships yet integrated a corporate infrastructure that used technology, systems and processes to promote efficiency and quality.
Today a remotely accessible group intranet site provides each PSP care centre & manager with real time access to resident, staff and building information. In addition PSP Healthcare has developed its own Care Planning and internal inspection methodology (that a CSCI Inspector even attempted to purchase) to ensure consistency in standards whilst promoting continual improvement.
PSP's first acquisition was the turn around of a 32 bed home in Okehampton; Aalen House. The home
has undergone a number of improvements under the leadership of Home Manager, Jan Hazell. Recently a number of rooms have been renovated to create hotel style suites with superb views across the town and surrounding country side. Aalen House has been praised for its care services by residents, relatives, local professionals and even CSCI inspectors. As a further testament to their efforts the home was recently awarded a special prize in the Allcora national competition for Care Excellence. In only four years the PSP healthcare has expanded significantly from a single home in Devon to operating seven care centers across England and Wales. Their exciting and ambitious growth plans haven't stopped there. The recently completed Hatherleigh Care Village project, the construction of a pioneering new Care Village in Monmouth and several developments currently in the planning phase are all steps along the way to realising the PSP vision of excellent and progressive care provision. The Monmouth Care Village offers 90 + nursing, residential and dementia care beds in a state of the art home. In addition, 36 Close Care apartments and houses provide independent living with access to all the facilities and high quality care available at the care home, using a concept currently in discussion with a local partner in India to provide quality respite and convalescence facilities in a purpose built ‘Ashram' just out side of Mumbai.
In recognition of their fast paced growth and innovative approach to the provision of care for the elderly the Managing Director of PSP Group, Preyen Dewani, was recently awarded the National Care Entrepreneur Prize at a prestigious ceremony in London hosted by Esther Rantzen CBE. The Dewani family vision and company philosophy is encapsulated in PSP's slogan ‘People Supporting People'. Throughout the group each individual's capabilities are noted and developed in order to better assist others wherever needed. Be it in infection control procedures or formulating spreadsheets, the recognition of the network of People at PSP Healthcare is their ultimate strength.
I think PSP Healthcare is a great place to work, but don't take my word for it, this is what our team say.............

'I have been with PSP for 2 years now, and during that time I have achieved many new skills such as good communication, along with an eagerness to develop my cooking. I would like to thank PSP for being where I am today, and believing in what I do'

I started working for Mr. and Mrs. Dewani sixteen years ago and have in all that time, admired their philosophy in the way they cared for the clients. I continue to support them and their two sons Preyen and Shrien and have always considered it a privilege to be a part of the ever growing company known as PSP Healthcare. I began as a chef at Angela Court and now help run all the kitchens by making suitable menus. I visit each home regularly to make sure the food is up to standard and the running of all the kitchens goes smoothly. I enjoy the job and the respect the family has shown me over the last sixteen years.
