We're pleased to share some exciting news: Routes Healthcare has acquired Just A Little Company (Care and Support at Home) Ltd, a trusted care provider based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
This marks our first step into the East Midlands, and we couldn't be more excited to bring our expertise and support to communities across Derbyshire.
A Perfect Partnership
Just A Little Company has been providing quality home care and complex care in Chesterfield for 10 years, building strong relationships with clients, families, and the local community. Their commitment to person-centred care and their deep understanding of the area made them a natural fit for Routes.
We're not here to change what works. Their existing care teams will continue supporting their local community, doing what they do best. What we bring is additional backing - clinical expertise from our team of 13+ registered nurses, award-winning training through Routes Academy, and comprehensive HR and operational support that allows carers to focus on delivering high-quality care.
What This Means for Home Care in Derbyshire
Our expansion into Derbyshire brings:
- Increased capacity for home care and complex care across the region
- Clinical oversight from our specialist nursing team for complex care needs
- Professional development opportunities through Routes Academy, our accredited training provider
- Stable employment with access to career progression and comprehensive support
- Rapid response capabilities for families who need care quickly
Kirsha Leonard continues as Registered Manager, ensuring continuity for clients and families. Every member of staff has been retained, and we're committed to supporting the team's growth and development.
Our Commitment to Derbyshire
Since 2009, we've been providing care across Northern England. Our model is simple: localised care teams who know their communities, backed by centralised clinical, training, and operational support.
This approach means people receive personalised care from teams who understand their local area, with the confidence that comes from registered nurse oversight, quality assurance systems, and proper support infrastructure.
"Just A Little Company has built an excellent reputation in Chesterfield over the past 10 years.
By combining their local insight with our clinical and operational support, we can deliver even greater impact for clients and their families."
- Narinder Singh, Routes CEO
Looking Ahead
We're excited about what this partnership means for care provision in Derbyshire. Our focus remains the same as it's always been: supporting people to live well at home, with dignity, choice, and the care they need.
Welcome to the Routes family, Just A Little Company. Here's to the next chapter together.
