Our Approach
At Three Shires Healthcare Group Ltd, our approach is built around one principle:
The people who built a great care service should see it protected, strengthened, and continued.
We acquire established domiciliary care businesses and support them with strong governance, investment discipline, and transition support — while preserving the culture and continuity that service users and staff rely on.
1. Respect for Founder Legacy
Most owners have spent years building trusted, community-focused services.
We approach every conversation with discretion, transparency, and a commitment to protect what makes each business successful.
We work closely with sellers to ensure:
Smooth, structured succession planning
Preservation of local relationships and community reputation
Continuity for staff, managers, and service users
2. A Smooth, Confidential Sale Process
We keep the acquisition process efficient and discreet.
Our process includes:
Initial confidential conversation
Light-touch fact-finding
Indicative valuation
Due diligence coordinated by our Board
Transaction execution with minimal disruption to operations
We understand that owners still need to run the business day-to-day, so we design the process around their availability and goals.
3. Continuity of Care and Local Leadership
We believe high-quality care is delivered locally — by the Registered Manager and the team who know their service best.
For this reason:
We retain the existing manager and leadership team
Day-to-day operations remain local
We avoid imposing unnecessary group-wide changes
Our role is to support, not interfere.
4. Strong Governance and Oversight
Our Board provides the structure required for safe, sustainable growth:
Rigorous financial and operational governance
Compliance and CQC support where beneficial
Strategic planning and performance oversight
This ensures stability, long-term security, and continued quality of service.
5. Long-Term Growth Approach
We provide the strategic support needed to grow without compromising quality, including:
Recruitment and retention support
Digital and operational systems
Back-office efficiencies
Expansion where appropriate
Growth is always planned — never forced.
6. A Partnership Mindset
Every acquisition is a partnership.
We aim to make the process straightforward, collaborative, and respectful.
Sellers can trust us because we:
Take time to understand their priorities
Provide clear, transparent communication
Honour the legacy they’ve built
Ensure continuity for staff, clients, and families
A Confidential Discussion
If you are considering a sale or succession plan — whether in the near future or further ahead — we are always open to confidential, early-stage conversations.
