Investing in care. Operating for the long term.

CGEN Care acquires, invests in and operates care homes across the UK. We buy to hold, and we run what we own.

What we do Acquire Invest Operate Develop
Who we are

We buy care businesses to keep them, and invest in their homes, their people and their place in the community.

No fund timetable and no exit window. Ownership measured in decades changes every decision that follows, on people, buildings and the quality of care.

How we work

We acquire, hold and operate. For the long term.

Every home we acquire is one we intend to keep. We invest in its building and its people, and we run it ourselves, so the standard of care is something we answer for, not something we hand on.

Three commitments

  1. Acquire

    We buy individual homes and established groups with strong local reputations, to hold rather than to sell on.

    In practice No exit window.

  2. Hold

    We invest in buildings, people and systems at the pace quality allows, with no fund timetable to meet.

    In practice Decisions made for decades.

  3. Operate

    We run the homes we own, with residents, regulation and care at the centre of every decision.

    In practice Accountable for the result.

Long-term ownership Owner-operated Quality-led Continuity of care
Our approach

How we think about care, and capital.

Six principles shape what we buy, how we complete, and how we run the homes we own.

  1. We buy to hold and to build. Plans are measured in decades, not exit windows, which changes every decision made after completion.

  2. We run the homes we own. Investment decisions are informed by people who understand rotas, regulation and residents, not only balance sheets.

  3. A change of ownership should feel like reassurance inside the home. Protecting what already works is where every acquisition begins.

  4. Good homes are built by the teams inside them. We invest in development, leadership and the conditions that make good people stay.

  5. We grow at the pace quality allows, one well-chosen home or portfolio at a time.

  6. With owners before and after a sale, with advisers, and with the communities our homes belong to. We deal plainly and keep our word.

Why we do this

Behind every balance sheet is a community.

Residents, families and colleagues give a home its life. Everything we acquire, build or change is measured against one question: does it make life in the home better?
