Pivot your care company to prevention
Care Momentum coaches home care companies through the shift from reactive care to preventative care. We help you apply the 5 Pillars of Later Life Health™ framework to design the preventative service that's right for your business, earn 5 Pillars accreditation, and market the difference, so families, commissioners and self-funders choose you.
The challenge
Most home care companies look and sound the same
In a market where every provider promises "person-centred care," it's nearly impossible to stand out. Families can't tell the difference. Referrers default to whoever's closest. And the sector still spends most of its energy managing decline rather than preventing it.
Invisible differentiation
Your care quality is excellent, but nothing in your service or your story shows families and referrers what actually makes you different.
Reactive care model
The sector defaults to managing decline downstream. Families want prevention, but most providers have no structured, evidence-grounded way to deliver it.
Growth plateau
Without a distinctive proposition you can evidence (and the marketing to prove it), scaling beyond your local reputation is a constant struggle.
What we do
A prevention-led growth partner, not a programme you buy off the shelf
We don't hand you a branded product to resell. We coach your existing team to deliver preventative care, help you prove it through accreditation, and market the difference, using the staff and rotas you already have.
See how we helpCoaching the pivot
We guide your whole service from reactive to preventative care: diagnostic, design, and implementation in around 90 days.
The 5 Pillars framework
We install the 5 Pillars of Later Life Health™ (Physical, Cognitive, Nutritional, Social & Emotional, and Home Safety) across your service.
5 Pillars accreditation
We help you earn 5 Pillars Accredited Care Company™ status: a recognised mark you can say because you can evidence it.
Marketing that wins work
We turn your evidenced outcomes into a brand and campaigns that attract families, commissioners and self-funders.
Our framework
The 5 Pillars of Later Life Health™
A shared, evidence-grounded framework that makes prevention deliverable, measurable and provable across a whole service. It's facilitative, not prescriptive: no targets, no verdicts, no "right" shape. A mirror that generates insight, not a measure that issues verdicts. It sits alongside your existing CQC care plans.

How it works
From diagnostic to accredited prevention
Diagnostic
We map where you stand and where you can stand out, scoring the depth of your prevention practice with our Pillars Audit™ and Sameness Test™.
Design
We decide which pillars you'll lead with and how you'll be different, shaping a proposition families and commissioners understand with our Differentiation Map™.
Implementation
We embed prevention into delivery, training and care planning with our Service Blueprint™, typically within around 90 days, using your existing staff.
Partnership
We stay alongside you, tracking outcomes on the Pillars Dashboard™ and supporting you toward 5 Pillars accreditation as prevention becomes business as usual.
Born in care. Built for care.
Care Momentum was founded by Ian Willis after over a decade running Abney & Baker, one of Bath's most respected home care companies. Our approach wasn't designed in a boardroom; it was built and proven inside a real care business. We're the strategic route within the Ryecroft Group, alongside Abney & Baker and EverFit, all working to shift later-life care from reactive to preventative.
