Warwick Capital Partners announces sale of Danforth Care Homes
- Under Warwick’s ownership, Danforth has transformed into a fully operational and profitable business, now running 25 high-quality care homes
- Sale comes less than 18 months after Warwick acquired majority stake
- Marks Warwick’s second successful investment in the care home sector
London, October 31, 2025 – Warwick Capital Partners (“Warwick”), the global private equity and credit firm, is pleased to announce the successful sale of Danforth Care Homes (“Danforth”), following a period of strategic growth into profitability for the care homes provider. The divestment comes less than 18 months after Warwick acquired its majority stake from LNT Care Developments (“LNT”), the UK’s premier home care developer.
Identifying the undersupply of quality purpose-built care homes in the UK, Warwick worked in partnership with LNT to finance Danforth’s transition from newly constructed care homes to a fully operational care home provider.
Under Warwick’s stewardship, Danforth transformed 25 newly-constructed modern and carbon net-zero care homes into a profitable business and provider of the highest standards of care. Out of those homes rated by the Care Quality Commission (“CQC”), eight care homes were recognised as “good” and one “outstanding”, underscoring the high quality of care provided by Danforth.
Danforth was also recognised as one of the top 20 largest care home groups in 2025 by carehome.co.uk and was the winner of the Care Home Design Award at the 2025 Stars of Social Care Awards.
The sale represents Warwick’s second successful investment in the sector, following the sale of Ideal Carehomes in October 2023.
Ian Burgess, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at Warwick Capital Partners, said:
“Warwick is proud to have supported the evolution of Danforth Care Homes during our 18-month partnership, achieving significant growth and ever-improving standards of care. Now, it is time for Danforth to continue its journey in delivering the best possible care to those who need it with its award-winning homes.”
