Move by HC-One comes amid warnings Covid crisis threatens viability of private operators
The UK’s largest care homes company is to sell dozens of its homes and focus on more specialised care, amid warnings that some operators are being pushed to the brink of closure.
HC-One will sell 52 homes – almost one in six in its portfolio – as it moves away from providing residential care, where people might live for years, towards more high-dependency care for people with complex dementia and other needs. It will also close four homes, it announced on Monday.
