Birkett Long LLP has helped Healthcare Homes Group boost their portfolio of residential and nursing homes to 37 homes, following the acquisition of two care homes in February and March 2018 under two separate transactions.

Healthcare Homes Group provides care and support to individuals either in the group’s homes, or via its homecare service, across East Anglia and the South of England. The Old Vicarage, in Dorset, and Haughgate House, in Woodbridge supports the group’s increasing geographic reach.
