Sodexo expands in private-pay home care market in the UK
Paris / London, April 10, 2017. Sodexo, world leader in Quality of Life
services, announces the acquisition of Prestige Nursing + Care, a leading UK
home care provider.
Through its 44 branch network, Prestige Nursing + Care delivers high-quality,
personalized home care to seniors across the UK focusing on a private-pay model.
The acquisition provides Prestige Nursing + Care access to the experience and
best practices of in-home care agencies from around the world. With demand for
social care services rising in the UK, Sodexo will capitalize on this growing
market, bringing innovation and development potential to Prestige Nursing +
Care.
The acquisition of Prestige Nursing + Care will significantly expand Sodexo's
position in the UK private home care market, and builds on the company's
decades-long global track record in this sector through Comfort Keepers, a
Sodexo brand. Comfort Keepers is a leading network of in-home care providers for
seniors and other dependent adults with more than 700 offices world-wide.
Following the acquisition, the current management team of Prestige Nursing +
Care, led by Managing Director Jonathan Bruce, will continue to manage the
business.
Sarosh Mistry, Chief Executive Officer, Sodexo Global Home Care, said: "Our
mission is to help seniors age in their homes as independently and comfortably
as possible. Being at home not only improves the quality of life of our senior
clients, but their family members as well.
Prestige Nursing + Care combines a long history of home care provision with a
progressive and forward-thinking approach. We are very impressed with the
professionalism and expertise of the Prestige Nursing + Care senior leadership
and the way they have embraced the private-pay model. We look forward to working
together to grow this business."
Jonathan Bruce, Managing Director of Prestige Nursing + Care, said: "This
agreement is a major milestone in our efforts to expand the support we provide
to help our clients live independently in comfort and security at home. There
are a strong set of shared values between Prestige Nursing + Care and Sodexo,
and we are excited by the prospect of strengthening our in-home care services to
support our continued growth and innovation."
