Clarke Willmott has completed on the latest in a series of care home deals for Linc Cymru Housing Association (Linc). Capel Grange Care Home in Newport was sold as part of a strategic divestment of Linc’s care portfolio.
In a recent case the judge ordered the CQC to reconsider an inspection report and rating due to the apparent bias of an inspector. This shows a way to challenge inspection reports, ratings and enforcement action against care homes, even though the case involved private hospitals.
Acting for the buyer, Healthcare Management Trust (HMT), the specialist team at Clarke Willmott advised on the acquisition of St Quentin Residential Home Limited, which operates three care homes.
