Our Story
Founded with Passion,
Rooted in Stockton-on-Tees
Ark Care Principles was founded on a simple belief: that everyone deserves to be cared for with respect, in the place they feel most themselves home. For more than ten years we have supported people across Stockton-on-Tees and the wider Tees Valley.
We are proudly local, CQC registered and independently run. When you call us, you reach people who know the area, know our carers and know your care plan not a call centre.
