The health and social care team at Bath-headquartered law firm Royds Withy King has helped the owner of a Somerset residential care group sell the businesses.
Sandringham Care, which provides residential care for adults with physical, learning and mental health disabilities, was sold to National Care Group (NCG) for an undisclosed sum.
The acquisition adds 11 beds in two homes in Taunton, plus additional care provided within individuals’ own properties, to NCG’s portfolio of 700 as part of its ongoing strategy to provide high-quality care to vulnerable individuals.
The deal also included three residential properties which were let to their service users.
NCG is an established group caring for younger adults with a wide range of care needs in a variety of settings.
Partner and head of Royds Withy King’s health and social care team, Hazel Phillips, pictured, said: “We are very pleased to have helped the owner of Sandringham Care to sell her businesses as a going concern, having achieved the outcome she was looking for.
“There is a healthy level of demand in the adult social care market, particularly from new entrants looking to build and diversify their care portfolios.”
Royds Withy King’s health and social care team has a proven track record of working with care providers, dental surgeries, GP practices and pharmacies. The team includes lawyers based in Royds Withy King’s offices in Swindon, Oxford and London as well as Bath.
Agents Christie & Co also acted for Sandringham Care while regional law firm Harrison Clark Rickerbys and agents Carterwood acted for National Care Group.
