Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- James Cowper Kreston Audit
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 2 July 2024, Hartford Care Group Limited and it's subsidiaries were sold to new shareholders, Deer Capital Hartford Care Homes Limited.”
- “As part of the transaction, a sale and leaseback agreement for the properties in the Group was signed with Canda Life.”
- “On 18 August 2025, the Group, of which the company is a part, acquired five fully operational care homes across Kent from the Graham Care Group. These homes will be operated under the Hartford Care brand and reinforces the Group's expansion strategy, adding a further 513 bedrooms to its growing portfolio which now comprises over 1,500 bedrooms with additional home openings in the pipeline.”
