Agency

"The highest standard of care and the most efficient operation are not in conflict. When you get the standard right, everything else follows."

Our focus is not on profit. It is on delivering the finest standard of care possible — efficiently, transparently, and consistently. When technology is implemented correctly, it creates real-time visibility across every aspect of the home: care quality, compliance, staffing, communications, and incident management. That transparency makes CQC inspections straightforward, keeps placing authorities and social workers fully informed, and gives families genuine peace of mind.

The natural consequence of running a home that way — with less waste, less duplication, fewer gaps, and a workforce that is properly supported — is that the cost of running the business reduces. That reduction creates margin. And that margin is reinvested directly back into the standard of care for the people who live in our homes. Profit is the result of doing things right. It is never the reason.

— NUNO Care Group Manifesto · 2026

01 · Why We Exist

The care sector needs
a different kind of operator.

We are not in the care business by accident. We are here because we believe the sector deserves better tools, better transparency, and better outcomes — for residents, families, commissioners, and the people who inspect and place within our homes.

  • 01
    Technology that creates transparency — not just efficiency.

    Through the Novecta platform, every home we operate provides real-time visibility to the people who need it: CQC inspectors, placing authorities, client social workers, family members, consultants, and care managers. No information gaps. No chasing paperwork. No surprises at inspection. When everyone can see what is happening, the standard of care rises naturally — and so does trust.

  • 02
    Micro care homes are clinically proven — especially for mental illness and Alzheimer's.

    The evidence is clear: smaller care environments produce significantly better outcomes for individuals living with mental illness, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. Fewer residents means less noise, less disruption, and far greater consistency in the faces and routines that vulnerable people depend on. For those with Alzheimer's in particular, a familiar, home-like environment is not a comfort — it is a clinical necessity.

  • 03
    Stripping back the numbers raises the standard of care.

    By limiting our homes to 6 beds and under, we create the conditions for a higher level of care that larger facilities simply cannot replicate. Fewer clients means more time, more attention, and more genuine human connection. The home feels like a home — not an institution. That natural feeling is not incidental. It is the environment in which recovery and rehabilitation actually happen.

  • 04
    A dedicated budget for rehabilitation — beyond the standard framework.

    Every NUNO Care home operates with a ringfenced budget specifically for rehabilitation activities and services. We are committed to spending money on our clients beyond what the standard care home framework provides — whether that means community trips, therapeutic activities, vocational support, or specialist rehabilitation programmes. Recovery does not happen within four walls alone. We invest in the whole person, and in their life outside the home.

  • 05
    Technology built by people who have run care homes.

    Novecta was not procured from a vendor. It was built by our own people with decades of direct care sector experience — because that is the only way to build tools that reflect how care actually works.

05 · Our Operating Principles

How we run things
and why it matters.

Our principles are built around one goal: the highest possible standard of care, delivered efficiently and transparently. When we get that right, everything else — inspections, relationships, sustainability, reinvestment — follows naturally.

01
Residents First, Without Exception

Every operational, technological, and staffing decision is tested against one question: does this improve the experience and safety of the people in our care? That is the only metric that matters first.

02
Regulation as a Floor, Not a Ceiling

CQC standards define the minimum. Our homes and platform are designed to exceed them — because the families trusting us deserve more than compliance on paper. We aim for Outstanding, every time.

03
Transparency for Everyone Who Needs It

Real-time visibility — for CQC inspectors, placing authorities, social workers, family members, and care managers. When everyone can see clearly, care improves and trust grows. Transparency is not a feature. It is the foundation.

04
Efficiency Funds Excellence

By implementing technology that eliminates waste, duplication, and administration, the cost of running our homes naturally reduces. That saving is not extracted as profit — it is reinvested into the standard of care. Better systems make better homes.

05
Workforce as a Strategic Asset

The quality of care begins and ends with the people delivering it. We approach workforce not as a cost to minimise, but as the most important input in the care equation — supported, valued, and placed with precision.

06 · The Founder

Two decades.
One standard.

Junior Quartey is a care home operator and managing director with over 20 years of direct experience — since 2005 — building, expanding, and running some of London's highest-rated mental health and rehabilitation care homes.

His track record is one of consistent delivery at the highest level: 5-star ratings held across multiple homes simultaneously, a structured rehabilitation programme designed and implemented personally, a £1 million commercial loan secured from RBS during the 2008 financial crisis, and a successful business exit following two years of structured preparation. NUNO Care Homes is the next chapter — and the most ambitious yet.

🏆
5-Star Rating — Held Across Multiple Sites

Maintained a 5-star rating across multiple care homes simultaneously for periods exceeding five consecutive years — reflecting sustained operational and care quality at the highest level.

🏗️
Property Expansion & Conversion Expert

Converted a 24-bed abandoned building into a fully operational, 5-star rated care facility — achieving full occupancy within 12 months. All new beds filled within 6 months of each expansion.

🌿
Structured Rehabilitation Programme Designer

Personally designed and implemented a rehabilitation programme that successfully rehabilitated ten or more clients, delivering meaningful improvements to wellbeing and independence.

📈
30% Turnover Growth — 3★ to 5★

Increased business turnover by more than 30% through the implementation of more effective operational systems and rigorous quality control — raising the CQC rating of the homes from 3 stars to 5 stars, and sustaining that standard across multiple sites simultaneously.

📜
Registered Manager Award (RMA) Qualified

Achieved the RMA qualification while independently managing a home during a sustained period of senior absence — demonstrating resilience, clinical grounding, and professional dedication.

RBS Bank Supports Astral Lodge Purchase — Junior Quartey featured case study
RBS Business & Commercial Banking, London · Bank Supports Astral Lodge Purchase — Junior Quartey, Director, featured as part of £1 million European Investment Bank funding case study.
Featured: RBS / Royal Bank of Scotland

"Family-run business look to acquire care home. Funding package confirmed quickly, including £1 million from the European Investment Bank (EIB) scheme. Smooth transfer in ownership, with owners now able to focus on providing essential care." — RBS Business Case Study, Astral Lodge, London.

CQC & Local Authority Relationships

Built a strong, trusted working relationship with the CQC — consistently over-performing against regulatory expectations across all homes as Managing Director. Junior has worked with multiple London boroughs providing client care and securing planning permissions for care home upgrades and change of use, including: Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, Merton Council, Oxleas NHS Trust, London Borough of Lewisham, London Borough of Sutton, and more — demonstrating a proven ability to navigate complex regulatory and planning environments to achieve outcomes.

What People Say

A track record built on
real outcomes.

Families, professionals, and commissioners who have experienced our standard of care first-hand.

★★★★★

"The care Junior and his team provided was exceptional. The home felt like a proper home — small, warm, and the staff knew our mother as a person, not a resident number. We felt truly at ease."

SP
Sarah P.
Daughter of a former resident · South London
★★★★★

"In over 15 years as a social worker I've seen many care homes. Astral Lodge was genuinely different — organised, clean, clinically excellent, and the CQC compliance was always in order. I referred with confidence every time."

JT
James T.
Senior Social Worker · London Borough
★★★★★

"The rehabilitation programme worked. My brother came in at a very low point and the structured approach — designed personally by Junior — gave him back his independence. We are eternally grateful."

MO
Marcus O.
Brother of a rehabilitation resident
★★★★★

"The home Junior & his team provided for me helped me to integrate myself back into the community. Years later I have a family and no longer rely on support for my mental health issues that have now fully subsided. The rehabilitation programmes worked very well and I am grateful for the care provided."

K
Kumar ********
Former resident · Mental health & rehabilitation
★★★★★

"Junior Quartey is by far the most genuine, honest, caring, particular, focused, reliable, achieving — kind but strict — Managing Director I have ever worked with. We built Barons Lodge in Mitcham up to a 5-star home with a waiting list and we loved every second of the process."
