Company History
Cephas Care has been in operation for 30 years, formed by Jane and Chris Hewson who opened a care business supporting one service user – which now supports over 250 service users in Suffolk and Norfolk. Jane and Chris formed the company after meeting a gentleman with enhanced needs, and deciding to support and care for him. They took him into their own home and as time went on, they extended their philosophy of providing care for people in their own home across the Counties.
Today, Cephas Care continues to operate in the same manner from which the idea was born. We provide care for people with enhanced needs, in the manner they wish to be cared for – with the input of their family and loved ones.
Our ethos is, was and continues to be: “Your life, your choice, your way”. This encompasses everything we aim to do with the care we deliver – we place the service user at the centre of everything we do, enabling them to live their lives in the way they wish, whilst reducing risk and maximising their quality of life.
We are still very much a family-run business. Jane and Chris continue to be involved in the running of the company even today, and they hand-deliver their ethos to staff, service users and their families alike. The company is overseen by a strong board of directors who facilitate the original vision, through driving improvement and the quality delivery of care.
The company continues to go from strength to strength – developing their staff teams to deliver care in line with best practice and enabling their service users to live the most fulfilling lives.
We operate 18 supported living services in Ipswich and surrounding towns, a homecare service (caring for people in their own homes) and larger elderly care homes. We pride ourselves on being a large care provider of choice in East Anglia, providing the best levels of care to those using our services and our staff teams.
We aim to care for your loved ones, to provide support and encouragement them to achieve their ambitions. We care for everyone as we would care for our own – in a dignified way within beautiful accommodation and surroundings. After all – it is their choice, their life, their way. We are just here to facilitate it.
