Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “The company has now reached a settlement with a former consultant with whom it had been in dispute. The provisions for the cost of the settlement have been fully provided in these financial statements.”
- “At the year end the company revalued its freehold properties following a recent independent valuation. The directors have reviewed the depreciation policy adopted by the company. This was previously charged at Nil%, however to unify the policy across the group the policy would be adjusted to write off the properties over 30 years.”
- “The planned replacement of the heating systems within its care home portfolio to more energy efficient models is ongoing.”
- “During the year the company has successfully disposed of two of its mothballed homes.”
- “During the year one of the subsidiaries completed the refurbishment of a new care home to the group. Subsequent to the year end the company received all the appropriate permissions to enable the home to open.”
- “The previously mothballed care homes, which were under performing homes, remained so. This was to allow the directors to concentrate on the rest of its portfolio. The exception to this, is the closed care home in Leicestershire which has been repurposed as staff accommodation.”
