What happened
Mysa Care, the specialist care provider backed by investment manager Downing, has opened new residential and supported living sites as it scales. Netley House (complex needs) and Elizabeth House (supported living for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and complex health needs including epilepsy and diabetes) are in Surrey, while High Tor and Bryn Aderyn strengthen its presence in South Wales, where Safe Haven — acquired in 2023 — has completed a significant conversion. In total the group has opened 11 new sites in 18 months and now operates 46 care homes and supported living units with 157 beds, with more beds in development. Downing investment director Torsten Mack said the sector continues to benefit from strong structural demand, and CEO Chris Breen said Mysa continues to assess both organic growth and M&A opportunities.
