About Ark Care Principles
Locally run, CQC registered home care in Stockton-on-Tees — helping people live well at home with dignity and genuine compassion for over a decade.
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.

What We Stand For
Our Values
The principles behind our name guide every care visit we make.
Person-Centred Care
Every care plan is built around the individual — their preferences, routines and goals.
Dignity and Respect
We protect privacy and self-respect in every interaction, every single day.
Compassion
Warmth and patience are not extras in our care; they are the foundation.
Our People
A Team Built on Trust and Training
Our carers are the heart of Ark Care Principles. Each one is carefully recruited, fully DBS-checked and given thorough training before they ever step through a client's door.
We invest in ongoing professional development and create a supportive environment where our team can thrive — because carers who feel valued provide better care.
- Comprehensive induction and ongoing training
- Specialist dementia and mental health training
- Supportive supervision and regular check-ins
