Two care homes in Leeds, Red Court and The Grove, have been acquired by Warmest Welcome, a family-run operator with eight sites across North and West Yorkshire.
Red Court was established in 1984 and The Grove opened in 2017 with 63 en-suite bedrooms. Combined, the homes are registered to care for 101 residents. Both are located in Pudsey and are rated “Good” in all areas by the CQC.
The sale followed the retirement decision of Royston Bond, founder of Bond UK Limited, which owns the two homes through its trading company Castlegrounds Limited. Christie & Co managed the confidential sale process. Michaela Wadsworth, manager of both homes and daughter of the company’s late co-founder, will remain in her role post-acquisition.
Warmest Welcome intends to integrate the homes into its network without operational changes, focusing on introducing digital solutions to support staff and residents. The acquisition marks the eighth Christie & Co transaction involving Warmest Welcome.
The transaction highlights continued consolidation in the UK care home sector, with family-run operators expanding portfolios while maintaining established staff teams and care standards.
