A new contractor has been appointed to run Newtown's Plas Cae Crwn care home as well as Maes-y-Wennol in Llanidloes.
The homes, along with 10 others throughout the county, had been run by Bupa on behalf of Powys County Council.
But the council has now appointed Shaw Healthcare to run them.
Following an extensive procurement process, an award recommendation has been made to contract with a new provider, Shaw healthcare.
The council’s portfolio holder for Adult Social Care, Councillor Stephen Hayes, said: “We are very pleased to be able to announce our intent to partner with Shaw healthcare, a Welsh based company which is largely staff-owned.
"As a council, our priority is to ensure safe, high-quality care and support for the residents of these homes and we are confident that Shaw healthcare will be a positive partner for Powys County Council and the Powys Teaching Health Board.”
Shaw healthcare’s Commercial Director commented of the collaboration: “We are extremely proud to be working with Powys Council and look forward to delivering care to the residents of the homes.
"As a company, our brand values are wellness, happiness and kindness and we believe that this should be present in all we do. We believe that taking a person-centred approach to care achieves the best outcomes and our goal is to deliver the type of care that we would want for our own loved ones.”
Councillor Hayes also wanted to extend his gratitude to Bupa and their staff for their work in running the homes since 1999.
He said: “I would like, especially, to thank the hard working staff at the homes who have provided high-quality care services for the past 20 years. Your dedication and care has been valued by all who received it and by the people of Powys. We now look forward to a positive future with the new provider, Shaw healthcare.”
