Kara Healthcare has acquired seven care homes in a deal facilitated by full-service law firm Shakespeare Martineau.
Founded in 2013, Kara Healthcare – which has built a reputation for providing outstanding care across its three purpose-built homes in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Peterborough – has acquired six homes in the North East – acquired from administrators and lender ThinCats – alongside the purchase of Olive Row Care Home from family-run operator Peterborough Care.
All existing staff will be retained, ensuring seamless continuity of care for residents.
Kara Healthcare CEO Nick Somani said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for Kara Healthcare. These acquisitions are not just about growth – they represent our unwavering commitment to redefining care excellence.
“At Kara, we don’t just offer care; we create meaningful experiences, spark joy and cultivate a true sense of purpose for every resident. By bringing these fantastic homes into our portfolio, we’re expanding our reach, enriching lives and setting a new gold standard in care provision.
“And we’re not stopping here. With more acquisitions on the horizon, we are actively seeking new opportunities to further strengthen our group, ensuring more communities across the UK benefit from the exceptional care we deliver.”
