www.ceotodaymagazine.com 56 CEO Today United Kingdom Awards 2019 HEALTHCARE JEREMY NIXEY CEO of Shaw Healthcare FIRM PROFILE Shaw was established in 1986 as a housing association and is now one of the UK’s leading health and social care providers with the unique attribute of being majority owned by its employees. We deliver a wide spectrum of services ranging from elderly residential/ nursing care, home care, community care hubs, supported living, extra care, respite, day care, specialist care in the fields of Acquired Brain Injuries and mental health through to design-build-operate, consultancy and Facilities Management. Our values of wellness, happiness and kindness are now well established and apply to all that we do. If we are delivering our values then our vision, to deliver the quality of care that we would want for our own loved ones, will be a reality. We partner with many local authorities to deliver the best care possible to meet the requirements of the residents of those areas. Care in our homes As one of the UK’s leading health and social care providers we have a spread of residential services across the country which are often run in partnership with the respective Councils and Local Authorities. We primarily deliver elderly care services and dependent on location offer nursing, dementia, supported living, rehabilitation, day care, respite and specialist care for more complex needs such as mental health, Acquired Brain Injuries, Learning Disabilities and Physical Disabilities. For care in a care home or nursing home, your local authority will usually provide funding for your care up to a certain limit, according to your income and savings. As with care in your own home, this limit has been set at £23,250 in England and Northern Ireland (and £30,000 or £26,500 in Wales and Scotland respectively). If you move into a care home while a family member is still living in your home the value of your property will not contribute to your assets. Non-means-tested financial help is available from the NHS for nursing care. You will need to contribute towards care home fees in relation to your assets – £1 per week for each £250 above lower limits (£14,000 in England and Northern Ireland, £20,750 in Wales, and £13,750 in Scotland). You will be able to keep £21.90 of income per week for personal expenses.

He then set up the Secondary Housing Association for Wales (SHAW) which created ten new Housing Associations in Wales and at one stage was developing a fifth of all new social Housing in Wales. Shaw was asked by the NHS to develop and then to manage a small specialist care home. Other NHS orders followed and Shaw won many tenders to develop and operate care homes and hospitals for Councils and the NHS. In 2006 he led the management buy-out of the business and its conversion into a staff owned company. The buy-out price became the £15 million cash endowment of a separate charity which gives grants and loans for health and care purposes.
