Mysa Care, a leading specialist care provider backed by investment manager Downing, has opened a number of new residential and supported living sites as it continues to expand the business.
Netley House, a specifically designed environment and service for adults with complex needs, and Elizabeth House, which offers supported living for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, and complex health needs such as epilepsy and diabetes, are located in Surrey.
Other new sites have added to the group’s growing presence in South Wales and include High Tor and Bryn Aderyn. Safe Haven, acquired by Mysa Care in 2023, has recently gone through a significant conversion and delivers supported living, residential and care services for adults with complex care requirements across South Wales.
In total, Mysa Care has developed and opened 11 new sites over the last 18 months and now operates 46 care homes and supported living units with 157 beds in total, with additional beds in development.
Torsten Mack, Investment Director at Downing, said:
“The specialist care sector continues to benefit from strong structural demand, and Mysa Care is well-positioned to scale responsibly. These new openings demonstrate the team’s disciplined approach to growth, combining organic expansion with a continued focus on delivering high standards of care.”
Taylor Francis, Investment Manager at Downing, said:
“We are pleased to support Mysa Care as it continues to execute on its growth strategy, expanding specialist care provision in areas where local authorities are commissioning additional capacity. The opening of these new sites reflects the team’s ability to deliver operationally, while maintaining a clear focus on positive outcomes for residents.”
Chris Breen, CEO at Mysa Care, added:
"These new sites represent an important step in our continued development as we continue to assess new organic growth and M&A opportunities. Each service has been developed to meet the specific needs of the individuals we support, enabling them to live with greater independence, dignity and security.”
Downing partners with strong and entrepreneurial management teams to help realise their growth ambitions and maximise the potential of their business by providing flexible funding solutions, strategic support, and access to its networks.
Typically, Downing looks for initial investments of between £5 million and £50 million and focuses on sectors including healthcare, education, housing, and other specialist sectors.
Downing has a dynamic responsible investment framework that reflects and operationalises its investment philosophy. Guided by principles of materiality and proportionality, analysis of material sustainability factors is incorporated into investment decision-making and portfolio engagement.
