Healthcare & Care Homes

Rix & Kay’s dedicated Care Sector Team covers Sussex and Kent and brings together a multi-disciplinary team of lawyers and other professionals that specialise in supporting and advising both users and providers of healthcare services. Our experience of working with both owners and service users means that we provide considered legal advice that covers all eventualities and takes all perspectives into account.

We have particular expertise in supporting individuals and their families who are already in or are considering moving to a supported care environment.

Our lawyers are considered thought leaders in the sector and maintain influential relationships with a wide range of care sector stakeholders. In 2015 we were awarded a Law Society Excellence Award for our care home thought leadership initiatives.

Our detailed understanding of the challenges care home owners face and the relationship dynamics that exist between care home owner and care home resident, means the team is perfectly placed to provide a seamless service of expert legal advice to all parties.
