Care home refurbishments that improve CQC ratings & boost occupancy

Helping care providers create homes that support staff, impress inspectors, and attract residents.

"Their experienced team handled everything with care, precision, and attention to detail."

Claire Stanley, Head of Estates Active Care Group

Outdated care environments can quietly drain resources, affect staff morale, and make it harder to meet today’s expectations.

Many UK care providers face challenges with low occupancy, staff retention, and meeting CQC compliance standards — all while trying to remain financially sustainable. Outdated care environments increase running costs, reduce staff satisfaction, and make it harder to attract residents.

At LUMY, we're experienced care home contractors specialising in care home refurbishments for care homes, supported living facilities, and specialist healthcare settings. We help improve safety, refresh older spaces and prepare homes for inspections. Every project is planned around your residents, staff, and daily routines so the work causes as little disruption as possible.

Our phased approach allows essential upgrades to happen without compromising care or creating unnecessary stress. From first consultation to final handover, we manage everything, so your team can stay focused on what matters most.

We are known for precise craftsmanship, clear communication, and long-term results that keep our customers coming back for future projects.

Every service is designed to support better outcomes for residents, staff, and operators alike.

Sustainable refurbishments

From corridor refurbishments to adapted bathrooms, every detail is considered to make daily life easier and more comfortable.
