In February 2005, current management together with the Blackstone Group acquired the Highfield Care portfolio of 190 homes from NHP, and in November 2005 completed the acquisition of the leasehold interest of the Ashbourne Group of care homes. This latest acquisition included 193 additional homes, which brings the enlarged company to the operation of in excess of 570 care homes, providing more than 28,000 beds.
