Praxis Care, a charity with over 40 years of experience in providing person-centred care across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain, and the Isle of Man, is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the new care provider for Thie Quinney, Isle of Man.
Located in Ramsey, Thie Quinney provides vital housing and support services for individuals with physical disabilities. This transition ensures that the people supported will continue to receive high-quality, familiar care from the same dedicated staff they have trusted for years.
Praxis Care was chosen as the preferred provider after a rigorous and competitive tendering process, which recognised its proven expertise in delivering high standards of person-centred care. The transition will not alter the service structure or staffing, ensuring a smooth and stable continuation of care for both staff and individuals supported.
Greer Wilson, Director of Care and Development at Praxis Care, said, “We are honoured to have been selected to continue the important work at Thie Quinney, and we’re committed to maintaining the high standards of care that the people supported have come to expect. I would like to thank Leonard Cheshire and their team for their dedication and the excellent service they have provided over the years. Their commitment to quality care has set a strong foundation, and we look forward to building upon that legacy. By maintaining the trusted staff team and providing them with ongoing support throughout the transition, we will ensure stability and consistency for everyone involved.”
Leonard Cheshire, the outgoing provider transitioning the service to Praxis Care, also expressed confidence in the move, with Emma Bailie, Director of Northern Ireland Operations stating, “We are proud of the work done by the team at Thie Quinney and confident that Praxis Care will continue to deliver the exceptional care and support people have come to rely on. We are fully committed to a smooth and seamless transition for the people supported and the staff team.”
Praxis Care is also dedicated to supporting staff through this transition, providing comprehensive resources and assistance to ensure a smooth integration into the organisation. This ongoing support will help Praxis Care maintain its person-centred approach, fostering a positive and empowering environment for everyone at The Quinney.
