About Total Care Matters
At Total Care Matters, we provide therapeutic residential care for children and young people aged 8–18 across our nine homes in the East Midlands. We support young people who have experienced significant adversity, helping them build confidence, resilience, and brighter futures.
Our teams create safe, nurturing environments where children feel valued, supported, and empowered to achieve their full potential. As part of our commitment to delivering outstanding care, we are working towards DDP (Dyadic Developmental Practice) accreditation, further embedding trauma-informed and therapeutic approaches across our homes.
