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

- 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
- “Major expansion plans are underway, with planning permission achieved in October 2024 for the construction of a new 42 bed, state of the art unit. This will include 12 specialist palliative care beds, of which there is great demand in the local area of North Warwickshire, which currently has no provision of this nature. This will see the bed count rise from 73 to 98 across the entire site.”
- “Work is progressing with the architect towards putting the project out to tender, with an aim of construction to start March 2026.”
