Care Homes

The UK has an ageing population and the care of the elderly is of profound importance

Denison Till has considerable experience in acting for the owners of care homes and the firm is familiar with the regulatory regime which governs their operation, management and control.

At one end of the scale, there are many care homes in the ownership of a single individual, a partnership or a small limited company. The owners are often also the senior management of the business, who take great personal pride in the standard of care they deliver. At the other end of the scale there are a number of businesses owning multiple care homes on a regional or national basis.

Whatever the size of business, it is important that lawyers representing care homes and their owners understand the regulatory regime and are aware of the various issues facing the sector. These range from contractual issues, the constant regulatory changes and the continuing demands of CQC. And, of course, many care home businesses in private ownership are also effectively the pension or retirement fund of the owners. Consequently, great care has to be taken on any subsequent sale or disposal.
