Sanctuary purchases 35 residential care homes from Embrace
Sanctuary Group, one of the UK’s largest housing associations, has bought 35 residential care homes from Embrace Group.
The deal, which also includes a supported living scheme, will take the total number of bed spaces provided by Sanctuary to above 5,300 and broaden its geographical coverage.
The new homes are largely in Scotland and the North East of England, while Sanctuary’s 68 existing care homes are mostly in the Midlands and the South of England.

All 1,800 staff members in the acquired homes will become part of Sanctuary Group.
David Bennett, chief executive of Sanctuary, said: “Embrace Group shares with Sanctuary a commitment to good quality care for older people and has built a strong network of care homes with a workforce of highly motivated employees.
“We were attracted to this exciting opportunity because it will enable us to make an even greater difference to the lives of older people around the country and will further our charitable objective.
“We have assembled our existing care portfolio through a mixture of acquisition, development and self-build and, as such, we have extensive experience of integrations of this nature.”
