It is possible for business and care to co-exist. Clearly providing good care is good business.
This isn’t always the case however, and all of my services and products focus on who is providing the care from a business point of view. So that you can make sure you are getting the best quality care for your money.
This page keeps a weather eye on what is happening in the care business world, and hopes to predict the future! As far as this is humanly possible.

Executive Care group bought out of administration
The Executive Care group, which runs 25 homes, went into administration on 26th November. The press headline is about jobs saved, but 1,100 people in 26 homes across the country, will be grateful I’m sure.
Monarch Alternative Capital,a private investment company that specialises in purchasing companies described a “distressed debt” now run the group.
I’m sure quality of care will be more important to them than return on investment. Time will tell.
