Belgian company Aedifica has bought a portfolio of five purpose-built care homes in the UK for £61 million. 

The homes, which will be operated by Bondcare and Maria Mallaband Care Group, have a combined capacity of 467 bedrooms.

Aedifica has invested £61 million in five fully operational purpose-built care homes for persons requiring continuous care. Other investments will follow.”
