BN Care Expands South West Footprint with Acquisition of Two Devon Care Homes
BN Care has expanded its South West footprint with the acquisition of two established Devon care homes, marking a significant step towards its ambition of creating an integrated care pathway for older people across the region.
The acquisitions of Bascombe Residential Home in Dawlish and Puddavine Residential Home in Totnes take BN Care’s portfolio to seven care homes across Devon and Dorset, increasing the group’s capacity to almost 300 beds and bringing its workforce to around 500 employees.
BN Care has steadily expanded its offering across residential care, nursing care, specialist dementia support and end-of-life care. The addition of two predominantly residential care homes further strengthens that provision and broadens the group’s ability to support local communities across the region.
Wade Newmark, Managing Director of BN Care, said: “These acquisitions are an important step in fulfilling our vision of creating an integrated care pathway across the South West. We’ve always believed that families should be able to access the right support, delivered by people they know and trust, throughout every stage of later life.
“By bringing these two outstanding homes into the group, we’re expanding our ability to deliver that vision while remaining focused on what matters most: providing outstanding care, investing in our people and maintaining high-quality environments for residents.”
Bascombe Residential Home in Dawlish and Puddavine Residential Home in Totnes each offer more than 40 beds and will continue to be led by their experienced local management teams. The homes were previously part of the Manor House Collection, which was established and developed over several decades by Guy and Sue Rogers and their family.
As part of the acquisition, BN Care plans to invest further in both homes through refurbishment works, the conversion of currently unused rooms to increase capacity and the creation of additional employment opportunities. Puddavine, the original home in the Manor House Collection, was founded by Guy’s mother in the 1980s and remains an important part of the group’s legacy.
Wade Newmark added: “Guy and Sue have built a brilliant business and we are delighted to be building on the strong foundations they have created. These homes have earned an excellent reputation for the quality of care they provide and that is a credit to everyone involved.
