The Heart Behind Care Legacy

Just two hard-working lads from Yorkshire, doing something we love and wanting to make a difference.

Care Legacy was founded in 2022 by husband-and-husband team Matthew and James Hartley.

Having both worked in care for many years, including within large corporate organisations, we knew what it felt like to become just another number. We wanted to do things differently.

Our vision was simple: to build a care company where clients are treated as individuals, carers feel valued and everyone matters.

So, we took the plunge and started Care Legacy from scratch.

Today, we're proud to have grown into three branches covering North Yorkshire, Cumbria, Lancashire and West Yorkshire.

But don't let the director titles fool you! You'll regularly find us in our tunics, out delivering care alongside our fantastic team.

Because at heart, we're still carers, and that's something we'll never lose.

We're proud of how far we've come, but we'll never forget why we started.
