After discovering through his own personal experience how difficult it was to find a good quality care home for two of his relatives, he bought Moreton Hill, a 17th century farm in the Cotswolds, and converted it into a care home which he felt was to a high enough standard.〔http://www.barchester.com/origins〕 In 1994, Moreton Hill won the Care Home Design award at the Great South Western Care Awards and featured on BBC’s Country File as an example of design sympathetically managed for a rural environment. The next care homes to be opened by Mike Parsons were Badgeworth Court Care Home and Hunters Care Centre in 1995. Barchester continued to expand its portfolio and now runs over 200 homes across the country, offering a broad range of services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barchester Healthcare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
